Today is Flag Day in the US.
No one made much of a deal about Flag Day in NYC, where I grew up. I actually didn't realize it was a holiday people celebrated until I moved up to the country. I've been here nearly 10 years now, and this weekend was the first time I crossed paths with a celebration. We ended up in Hudson at the very end of their parade, but just in time to see that it's a BIG DEAL. Bands playing, street food, people and cars all dressed up, even a small carnival. Next year we will make a point of going for the actual parade.
This automobile was parked at the end of the parade, and looked more like a carriage -- a horseless carriage, I guess. It was manufactured by the E-M-F Company which, according to Wikipedia, only exhisted between 1909 and 1912, and distributed its cars through Studebaker wagon dealerships.

The northernmost of Thailand ends with a road and a bridge over to Myanmar (Mae Sai border checkpoint).
I’ve been to two land border crossings and both times they aren’t as flashy or comfortable as an airport, but with a lot less hassle.
