The Big Flag

Today is Memorial Day here in Iowa - the rain held off just long enough for the morning ceremonies. Traditional afternoon activities involving sun, water, and giant Buffalo Gnats will have to be curtailed to a later date. The good news is that I will avoid throbbing gnat-bite welts and a sunburn, both of which, I believe the health Nazis have declared illegal. The rain looks like it has settled in and is busy restocking all the gnat incubation pools, which are the only pools that are going to see any activity today.

So turn on your lights, turn up your heat, and throw a little sand on the floor - it's time for that first official day of summer marketing. Be sure to wear your white shoes and belt to work tomorrow, the season only lasts to Labor Day.
