Me: Why's the flag lowered to have staff?
Him: Haven't you heard the Queen of England died?
Me: Wait, so we lower the U.S. flag for foreign dignitaries? Since when?
Him: We just do what we're told around here.
So am I so country bumpkin that I missed somewhere along the way that we lower our flag for foreign heads of state/dignitaries? Someone please enlighten me.
I haven't been by today. I did notice the addition of what looks like a tombstone with the phrase or something to this effect, in honor of all past, present and future post office employees. I thought to myself, it looks like someone died. Did the post office need to put this out front? Why waste money on a tombstone? I guess it's been up since some time last year. Strange.
