Fly your flag TODAY -- honor fathers

 Today is Fathers Day --

honor your father who served

in the military; your uncles,

cousins, neighbors, heads of

household who are / were

fathers.  Raising and flying

the flag is independent of

who are the current officeholders --

American Dad, Grandfathers,

great-grandfathers, great-greats

and more . . .

The Red, White, and Blue can

give us continuity to the 1776

brave ones who also had a

generational dis-connect with

the Loyalist / Status Quo supporters

who didn't want to give up 

a privileged place under the

british "Union Jack".  The

signing of a Declaration of

Independence was a radical,

daring act that said We "DECLARE"

not a King and Parliament an ocean

away . . .

Summer Solstice early this a.m. at four twenty-four

 The first day

of astronomical

summer and the

potential longest

day of the 2026

calendar year

(15+ hours) --

provided the forecasted

rain clouds don't

obscure and precipitation

is brief during this

time of year when the 

earth's axis is tilted

closest to the sun

(Northern Hemisphere).

ALSO

today the sun will reach

its highest point in the

sky at noon!
