Okay, I’m going to fix everything. It may take some time. But I’m going to do it. so be patient.

Maybe Not

A well requested change to RLK89.com and Blog.RLK89.com is coming soon.

I remember when I was in the eighth grade, we had a fundraiser to “restore” flags that were carried during civil war battles. Unlike a historical building that actually needs to be restored, a flag isn’t going to crash down and be completely destroyed. A flag can mealy be sealed in a preservative container.

I remember seeing a picture of one flag that was to be “restored” that was about 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide, if placed diagonally. The plan by these flag “restorers” was to “restore” the flag to it’s original size” Now, maybe it’s just me. I don’t think that adding modernly created fabric to a little tiny peace of a flag that’s nearly 14 times smaller than the addition is appropriate. They put a flag like this one display and show it off as a flag carried during one of America’s wars. A kid could look with false pride that the flag is as it was the day it fell. I don’t know about you but I find it unsettling that people could have a flag on display, with one fibber that was originally carried in a war, and claim that it a historic flag.

Oh yeah, I’m aware that the numbers I gave don’t really add up, so just take the numbers with a grain of salt.

I just wanted my readers(all 3 of you), to know that I haven’t forgotten about my blog. I will return to work on it some time this week.
