This morning when I headed out with my guitar and coffee to watch the Texas sunrise I was dismayed to realize that I had forgotten to bring the flag in the night before. I noticed it at 6:00 but still had a few hours of sunlight so I said, “Later.” Later had a senior moment.
As I was berating myself a question came to mind, “Which is worse, to forget to bring in the flag or to not put it out in the first place?” Which side would I rather err on?
So I will try to remember next time but take some consolation that I live in a country where a large number of people actually are proud to put out a flag without being forced to. People from some parts of the world think we are strange. We think we are free.
