Turn That Flag Down!

Flag Flap Causes Flag Flap

A man ticketed after complaints that his flag's flapping made too much noise has settled on a quieter way to show his patriotism.

Ray Saelens was ticketed last week after a next-door neighbor complained that the 18-by-12-foot American flag kept him awake at night.

Saelens, a self-employed mason, rejected suggestions he take the flag down at night. Instead, he proposed switching to a 15-by-10-foot American flag an offer accepted by neighbors Mark and Sue Grucz.

"Discretion is the better part of valor," said Saelens.


Those are HUGE freakin' flags, man. According to this site, a flag of those sizes would require a pole between 50 and 65 feet tall, at least for "official" public display. The report says he paid $4,000 to get the flagpole installed. Egads.
