Flags on President's day... The local Boy Scout troop provides a service to local homeowners on patriotic holidays: they post flags along the road. The photo at right shows our flag this morning, and if you embiggen it you'll see several of our neighbors' flags to the south. The Boy Scouts do this for 7 or 8 holidays during the year, for a donation of $35. I've noted that several families in town who likely can ill afford such an expense also have the flags up – either the Boy Scouts are helping out, or they're sacrificing something meaningful to pay for them. Either way, another interesting statement about the local culture...
