We have a large flagpole in our frontyard. Late last Fall, Bob took the flag down for the winter. His reasoning was that it is respectful not to leave the flag out in the elements all winter.

Hmmmm….neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor… wait a minute. It was out all summer without a thought….. ??

Ok, respect for the flag. I can’t argue with him on that one. So, imagine my surprise when I got into my old Bronco to start it up and let it run (NO DRIVING IN THE WINTER IN NEBRASKA) (The frickin’ salt and other chemicals on the road would eat this 44 year old car in a matter of months!)

Oh, I digress, as usual.
IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I saw the flag that Bob had respectfully taken down last Fall, wadded up in a ball, and tossed it into my Bronco for it’s glorious, respectful winter Ford storage.

It is folded up now and awaiting a new season on Cedarwood Road.
