Can we just leave the flags at half staff?
Driving around running errands today I noticed flags still at half staff. Kinda weird seeing a McDonald's flag at half staff.
I figured it was for Pittsburgh. Then I thought but that was last Saturday. Half staff generally are for a full week but sometimes it's 5 days. See the Commonwealth's flag status page link below.
Then I thought maybe it's for Tallahassee. Hell I've been doing chores all day so there could have been another mass shooting today. Sadly at this point it wouldn't surprise me.
The head of the building and grounds crew where I used to work told me this was the first thing he did every morning.
