I was delighted to see this morning that Old Glory had been returned to her lofty heights at Parham & Broad. It turns out that President O had issued a proclamation that Old Glory was to fly at half mast until August 30th, 2009 at 6 p.m. in honor of Ted Kennedy.  For me, the era and glorification of Camelot has rightly passed and an additional homage past 6 p.m. last Sunday was too much.

     On my way to lunch today, I noticed that the Ridge Branch of the Post Office and the Kroger on East Ridge still had their flags at half mast. I called both. On my return to the office, I found both locations had rectified the situation. I will continue to remain vigilant.
