During one of our football games, the field goal kick was up and away. The wind was so strong, the ball sailed almost into the American flag.
Night time flagging. Light plants, cones, signs, flaggers, the whole bit. Safety is really important, we all want to go home at the end of the job.
These fellows have a beautiful replica of a Civil war era flag (1863 - 1865). There was just enough breeze that day to allow me to get one or two brilliant shots.
From 1861 to 1863 the flag had 34 stars, the latest one representing Kansas. The 35th star added in 1863 represented the new state of West Virginia.

My son, Nicholas, advised me yesterday never to visit the Avenham and Miller Parks again. He said that the improvements that have been made would upset me too much.
The Flag Market looked better before the Victorian Gothic Town Hall was pulled down and replaced by a brutalist concrete construction, but since it is scheduled for improvement I thought that it might deserve a picture.
There are officially two flags of Bavaria: the striped type, and the lozenge type, both of which are blue and white. Both flags are historically associated with the Wittelsbach family, which ruled Bavaria. [1]
Both horizontal and vertical flags with stripes or blue and white lozenges without arms can be considered official for use as state and civil flag and as civil ensign (on lakes and rivers). The variants defaced with the arms are not only unofficial, but not considered legal. However, the de facto used civil flag is in most cases a lozenge-style flag with the arms.
The exact shade of blue has never been set in stone, but most flags used by the public are approximately RGB 0-204-255; official use something closer to RGB 0-128-255. The lonzenges are neither set in number, except there must be at least 21, and the top right (incomplete) lozenge must be white.[2] Some people believe the lozenges to be representative of the lakes and rivers of Bavaria; or their colour to be that of the lakes or the sky or both (as in the Bavarian anthem, which says 'die Farben seines [or "deines" [3]] Himmels, Weiß und Blau' - 'the colours of His sky/heaven, white and blue'); but this has never been proven. The other argument is that they are historical.

This past year, I've begun travelling a lot more for work-related reasons, and whenever co-workers would attempt to check in via the web, I'd always get an error message stating that I would need to check in physically at the airport.
I wrote this off as another case of the airlines not knowing their assholes from their faces, and would sit in the check-in line with people incapable of using the Internet while my travelmates would immediately go through to security.
Yesterday, however, a CSR with Alaska handed me this.
I read through it and realized that I had been flagged. I later met up with my travelmates and joked that I was a trrrst.
After calling the number on the paper, and listening to the manditory recordings, the recording instructed me to go to the TSA website and download a Passenger Identification Verification form.

I wouldn't have had a problem with submitting a quick form detailing my information, but this is fucking retarded.
I have to submit notarized copies of at least three of the following documents via the mail?
Passport
Visa
Birth Certificate
Naturalization Certificate
Voter Registration Card
Driver's License
Goverment Identity Card
Military Identity Card
How does this make things any safer?
Can I just give them a blood sample and allow them to install a camera in my house and get it over with?
Anyways, if you're having trouble checking onto flights via the web, hopefully, this'll help out.
