A Day that will live in infamy

We came across the border today to see flags flying at half mast. I always think "Oh no" what that happens. I finally figured out why.

 

It's no small miracle that two nations who fought each other so ferociously and who sprung from two such different histories could remain such fast friends for going on 63 years now.

 

Campi to all our Japanese friends out there.

i noticed in cannon beach today a total incoherence in the proper way to fly the flag on the 12/7th - in the end, i figured the american legion post should be the defining standard - they had it at full mast

There were three flags visible from the border station and all three were doing something different.

my favorite 12/7 activity: get belligrently drunk in a sushi-joint and start screaming loudly that they shouldn't even be OPEN today!
