I checked out your page, good quotes.

The upside down flag reminds me that when I was a kid in a little town of 100, the guy who worked at the feed/general store came in very hungover one morning and mistakenly ran the flag up upside down.

Before 8:30 about four truckers had stopped and run into the store to see what was the matter.

So they ran it back down and got it right.

Thank you for the kind words.

The shopkeeps mistake had to be embarrassing as was the explanation that followed. Heh.

You have to wonder how many ordinary people these days know what an upside down flag means, let alone care enough to check it out.
