Long Weekend

Well,
it has been a long weekend for me already.
I woke up at 3:30 a.m. today,
drove down to the river bed,
rescued a cactus someone threw onto the bike path,
brought it home,
played two games of pinball,
walked 4 miles,
and then ate breakfast.

This all happened before 7 a.m.

I entered the
L. Ron Hubbard's Writers Of The Future Contest
again.
So wish me luck.
(At this time I didn't know they were a cult.)

I want to take a moment to comment on my neighborhood's lack of knowledge on how to properly fly
and take care of the
United States Of America Flag.

(You will have noticed I didn't just say American Flag, because that could imply any country from North, Central, and South America.
We're not the only country in the Americas!)  

I can't be a hundred percent sure,
but I haven't seen one person bring their flag into their homes at night,
when they don't have a spotlight shining on it,
and when we have inclement weather too!

I guess they think they are being patriotic by leaving it outside all the time.
But they are not.

Either they don't know the proper etiquette,
or they believe just by owning a flag,
that will make them patriotic.

This weekend we are paying homage
and celebrating the
Men & Women
who have fought for this country,
gave their lives for this country,
and for those who stand ready to protect this country.

Can't these people who pretend to be patriotic at least show the respect these true
Patriots Deserve?

Tell your neighbors
and friends
to use any search engine on the internet to learn the proper way to fly our Flag!

And remember to thank a
Veteran
this weekend.

Why not do it every weekend!

This is,
Thanking Every Veteran I Know,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.”
- Abraham Lincoln -

 

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
