My Flag is Flying Today - It's Flag Day

My Republican neighbors, who all know that I'm a liberal Democrat, are confused by that. I love confusing people. None of them, by the way are displaying their flags. They never do, despite their claims of patriotism.

That leads to people not seeing it after a while. I fly it on national holidays and other occasions. When I do, it is noticed, because it is not always on display. It's a choice, really.

I'm not sure about whether I should put up my flag or not. I have a Canadian flag that goes up on July 1, though.

It's unfortunate that it falls on Flag Day, though. Halloween would have been more appropriate, or Dio de los Muertos.

No embroidered stars or sewn stripes. Phony flags.
