A bunch of houses in my neighborhood have flags out today. It's not any holiday that I know of...

And yes I did Google it. Apparently it is National Beer Day, but that's the only US holiday I saw on the list.

Is there a right wing/faux patriot thing going on today that I haven't heard of?

1. National Beer Day is good enough for me.

Let's run it up the pole and see who salutes!

Have no idea why & I just googled it-nothing.

Anyone know wasup?

7. Congressman Hastings of Florida passed away.

CHEYENNE — In honor and remembrance of U.S. Congressman Alcee Hastings of Florida, Gov. Mark Gordon has extended the half-staff order for both the U.S. and Wyoming flags through midnight April 7. Pursuant to law, the flags are automatically lowered to half-staff for a sitting member of Congress.

President Joe Biden issued a statement on Hastings' death.

"I had the privilege of getting to know Alcee Hastings during the years when he served in the House of Representatives and I served in the United States Senate and later as vice president. I greatly admired him for his singular sense of humor, and for always speaking the truth bluntly and without reservation," the president said.
