Colorado, USA
Fort Collins, CO -- We flew our flags today and rolled out in search of flags flying elsewhere. It is Patriot Day aka the anniversary of 09/11/2001. We saw flags flying from a few houses, fence posts, and in front of businesses, many of them at half mast. I have to wonder... unless you have your head stuck in a place where the sun don't shine... you cannot have escaped knowing what today is and what it means to all Americans whether you acknowledge it or not. So... I have to ask... where are those signs of respectful American patriotism?It wasn't a long ride. Actually, we ran a couple of errands and took a spin around the lakes and stopped for an ice cream before heading back home to relax on the patio. I'm thinking we are a bit weary still from our great road trip to Texas.

Lazy ride around the lakes
Riding down from Carter Lake - look how dry everything is - low humidity and no rain in weeks... you can almost feel the crackle in the air

This is my favorite flag shot of the day -- a tiny produce stand in the middle of nowhere - not far from here was a large well-to-do bedroom community - not a single flag flying
Thanks for the tips on places to eat :)
