Evening Corin - that was a good long pool session, hopefully adult beverages were available. We had some sun, quite a bit of rain. Radar shows we’ll likely have more tonight.

Saw quite a flag display along one street while on our walk. About eight houses had several flags each. Just the same four on our street; we usually have them up, weather permitting.

Sadly, no adult beverages allowed during regular pool hours. It’s a license/liability thing. Although a few of us have been known to bring our “special cups” I didn’t get around to that today.

The worse thing I saw was at 3:00 p.m. for the moment of silence. People got quiet and then a young lady offered a simple prayer and sang The National Anthem.

I immediately stood, and so did a handful of others. But there were over 100 people there and less than 10 of us standing.

Helluva way to teach your children about respect for the flag.
