The top screw already worked itself loose so a wider blue concrete screw replaced it this morning. All is well.

I am an ignorant fool, but please tell me: what flag is that with the pelican? Is it really Lousiana?

it is indeed Louisiana. Note there are four pelicans, the adult and four pelicanlanettes.

Oh. But again, I am an ignorant fool, did you ever explain why you are hoisting the great flag of Lousiana? Perhaps because you think it is cute or maybe inspiring or maybe in sympathy with the troubles brought on by Katrina?

It's all about the pelicans, baby. <p>Actually in PEI if you raise a flag other than the provicial one or the national one some blowhard neighbour or another would tell you you shouldn't (never having, of course, the slightest grasp of the concept of "none of your business"). Letters would even get written to the editor - and published - on this pressing issue. We had an alarmingly dense example of this attribute near us so I began to collect these sorts of flags. I have a Swaziland and Bhutan, too, that was always good for a laugh.

How about hoisting the colours of our fair city, Alan? I have never been able to find out where to buy one.

Good idea - and I might just have a line on a source. It is a fine flag, our city's

I suspected you might. ;-) Let me know, please.

Pelican is delicious. Saw allison Kraus and union station on CMT saturday night wanted to call you to let you know it was awesome also wanted to call you to tell you to bring in the flag before the boat theives get it.
Shalom.

Kingston flags are apparently available at the Tourism Information Office at the old train station in front of City Hall.
