Now that you mention it there were a lot of red, white and blue banners displayed. Not having July 4th on my mind I thought no further. This is Massachusetts, too.

Our area is very conservative. We are one of the precincts in Travis county Texas that votes for the (R) with a 75% or higher margin and has a lot of retired military. People with 0 bummer stickers on their cars are hard to find.
