Same street - but further down, north of jupiter and garland.

No - he's kind of a grumbly old fuck who drinks waaaaay too much.
He probably wouldn't want my hippie ass telling him how to fly his flag - 
especially if he's too embarassed to admit he can't afford a new one.
Judging by the upkeep on the rest of the house - that's likely the case.

I tried to talk to him once and there was this look in his eye... I've seen 
it before...
I think he knows about what I write - because that side of my house seems to 
get vandalized a lot.

I suspect it has some semi-mental value - the kind only another nam vet or 
somesuch could appreciate.
That's why I was hoping there was some vets group that would approach him.
I don't want to piss him off - or even have a conversation with him.
I'd just like to see a proud, crisp, snappy flag up there instead of the one 
he's got.
Who knows - it may even give him a little desperately needed boost of 
self-respect.

Oh... and I also wanted to rag online about folks who fly ratty-assed flags.
It's a slow news day and to watch CATV news, you wouldn't even know there IS 
a war.
