Your family had never seen a union t-shirt before? Really?
Did you buy any fireworks while you were there? Their laws are quite liberal on this subject.
you do occasionally get out of the provinces and notice that things are different elsewhere from your provincial shire? well same goes for us. it’s not that we haven’t seen it before, it’s just damn rare. VA is a right to work state, union goonage is not on display.
and i think fireworks are beyond stupid, so no, we did not buy any! plus we have them here in spades for anyone who is interested.
Yes. You can buy just about anything. Then you have to sign a paper saying you are taking them out of state to explode them. Which in yinz cases would be true.
