............. yes, the STOLE my new pirate flag!........... must have happened sometime after 8pm when the college ones cleared the porch, and walked over to the neighborhood grocery to 'restock' on ' beverages ' then they came back and partied until the 'wee' hours on the porch............. some drunken reveler, stumbling home must have snagged it then, cause Mr. AV and I were inside, watching TV..................... there goes my second flag!........... we simply could not find the one from last year, I think Mr. AV 'accidently' threw it out when we purged a bunch of boxes and bins over the summer. I told him this morning, next time we get a new pole, we'll drill a hole in the bottom to 'chain' it to the base. the flags are tightly attached with zip ties, they couldn't pull it off the pole.............. guess that's why 'whoever' took it pole and all ....................... makes me SO mad!! >:/
