I have to admit that I had not really thought about flying a flag until about 9/12/01. The day before really brought home to me and millions of other Americans the importance of my country and so, like so many others, I bought a flag and perched it out front of my house. I don't know how many flags I've had to replace now but I make sure that mine stays in good shape and keep a light on it at night. It has flown every day since then. It won't bring back three thousand-plus people but I haven't forgotten them. Oh, great. Now I have a blog! Now I have to take care of it every day! Writing as if everybody in the world will read it when probably nobody in the world will.

I was working in the fields yesterday, listening to KLUV as I performed my duties.
Enjoyed hearing Johnny Cash's "This Old Flag" and also a bit that I'm certain was Duke Wayne.
If you leave it up at night make sure its lighted. Proper flag stuff you know.
