This has been a most splendid day at the Newcomer house. I woke to 20 mile an hour winds and the giant reed grass, arundo donax, beating the daylights out of my bedroom window screen. The giant flag at the Simplot mansion was sticking straight out, flapping away to the west. The flag is about 15 x 30 and a half mile away as the crow flies. When the conditions are just right I can actually hear the thing flapping. Imagine the racket if you are living in the ‘hood just below the flag. Anyway, it has to be pretty darn windy to make it go horizontal. . . .
