Today I got a hankering to get a beer collection, so I picked up about ten six packs of various brews. It makes the empty bachelor's fridge look happier.

Anyway, on the way home I pulled in to several businesses, put on my cover (VFW cap) and talked to the managers about their flags

Extreme Power sports has a ragged flag which was at full staff. No one was home, I'll call them tomorrow.

Stars and Strikes has too- large a flag on the pole, and at full staff. Great manager, he jumped right on it. Couldn't do a true half staff because the flag would touch the ground, but we lowered it some, and he says they'll get a bigger pole or smaller flag.

B Merrils jumped right on it, lowering their pole. (It is a telescopic design, uses water to raise, very interesting)
