Emily, flags have been very important in organized societies for a very long time. They started out as military symbols and for communication purposes from Rome and to Medieval times. This was how you figured out where you stood and to determine friend from foe. It's sort of a convenient thing to have a concrete object to focus on when pledging.
"We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. 'I claim India for Britain!' And they're going, 'You can't claim us, we live here! There's five hundred million of us!'
" 'Do you have a flag?'
" 'We don't need a bloody flag, this is our country, you bastard!'
" 'No flag, no country! You can't have one! That's the rules, that... I've just made up.' "
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUDY & KARA!
Oh, okay, I guess I'm serial-posting. (I had more in the posting box for the post above, but it didn't take.)
EXCELLENT billboard, Tep!
So, theoretically, if someone you'd worked with for almost 5 years walked in one morning and had BLACK HAIR instead of the fading pink/purple she'd had yesterday...you'd notice, right?
Jessica, you'd think so. But some people are amazingly unobservant.
And, in the news, an Australian minister parties too hearty.

While on the surface, this may seem like a simple question, I think that pictures are required for further analysis.
Gronk.
Don't wanna go to work. Wanna stay at home with Windsparrow until she goes to work and then fall over asleep on the couch with Harvey the cat napping on top of me.
Oh well. I can do that tomorrow.
If I can be memememe for a minute: the billboard is up. Eeep.
Cute! That blue was a great choice.
Happy birthday to Kara!
And, Anne, I'm glad you had a relatively good night. I hope the week continues to get better for you.
Teppy, yes - that's a good billboard! You look good and the light on your hair is so, um, shiny!
