People are always flying
flags at half-mast when someone dies. So, the other day, I noticed an old man
putting his Canadian flag at half-mast. I stopped to ask him who’d passed away.
He said, “Queen Elizabeth.” “But Queen Elizabeth died three years ago,” I said.
“I know,” he said. “That’s how long it took me to afford the pole.”
Random thoughts from a man out standing in his field.
