Sorry to interrupt the proceedings, but did you create that artwork of the California coast?

Your first line is the thing I was most curious about. When one displays a flag is an individual choice, fly it whenever, as often as one likes.


The 'one' refers to private citizens, which I'm assuming wurm is.

As such, a private citizen isn't bound by tradition and flag etiquette, unless he or she chooses to be.

Note Jonny's mention of flag flown upside down.

Therefore a citizen can fly it on even days of the month, week days only on calendar days that end with a 2, whatever, if that's what they want to do.

Or, they can follow tradition and etiquette.

Me, I'm not crazy about the flag being used for clothing (not flags properly displayed on uniforms.

I've seen people put flag decals on their pickup trucks, the same decal on both sides of the truck.

One faces forward as it should, the other is facing backward, a violation of tradition and etiquette.

Yes, I created it but it's more related to the golden hills of the north bay area in summer. It's digital, done on my iPad Pro with the Procreate App.

I voted all the time. I do take it down at night, when I won't be home before dusk or during high winds.

My in-laws live in Central California – very conservative country. I have noticed several upside down American flags. I can’t imagine a more disrespectful display... Except, maybe as a doormat.

The flag is flown upside down to signal distress. Many have been doing so for a while.

We drove through that area last summer, and I really see that in the piece. Also did the Coast Starlight train, and saw similar views out our windows in other parts of California.
