I'm up near Lake Tahoe and I'm seeing an unusually large number of American flags, even for a 4th of July. Big flags, little flags, lots of bunting on buildings and decks, girls in tiny stars-and-stripes bikinis, people dressed in red-white-blue outfits. And this is the California side of the lake!
What's it look like elsewhere?

At the beach today there were more RW&B star-spangled swimsuits than I recall in the past. Otherwise about normal. Do people wear flag swimsuits for just one day a year?

I can't see any US flags here in Burnaby, BC, Canada, just a few Canadian flags still up from our July 1st. (ducking)
Happy 4th guys and gals! Try and stay free, eh?

craggy inhospitable looking place...was it a bombing range or something in the past?
Well, thanks for the friendly act.
In the USA, all other flags must fly below the Stars and Stripes, but I guess it's OK in furrin' countries.

Looks great to me. Sunny day, nice breeze, lots of green. I bet you can buy beer in that tent.
If you died and went to Paradise, you'd probably complain about that too.

We're swathed in cheap St George's crosses because there is a large Venn overlap between those who like flags and those who like football.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

afaik same rules here, if you want to fly another country's flag you must also fly the Danish flag and that must be on the highest pole
The Texas flag can fly at the same height.
Ah, beat me to market.
National Parks are great. We are just on the edge of the Tahoe National Forest, near the Pacific Crest Trail. It's great to get out to town and walk in the woods.

Currently there is still a small chance the Brexit disaster can be mitigated.
If England actually wins the damn competition that will disappear, because the media will convince the football/flag crowd that we are back in 1966, when All Was Good and All Days Were Sunny.
That's a weird thing to say... Did you not have milk with your Ovaltine this morning?

Not correct. No other flag shall fly *above* the US flag nor to it's right.
Rick C.
No, that would be disrespectful. In peacetime at least, allies shall fly at the same level.

Speaking of RW&B, drove 1 of 4 1957 T-Birds in a small-ish parade today. One each, Red, White Blue and on Pink one. Kinda fun actually.
Flags are all over, women are wearing red white and blue, and out here in the country it started sounding like a war zone on Sunday. This year has th e most awesome home fireworks I've seen since the late 1980s.
The public displays are back to "good economy" size and duration. Our local big city has been spending less the 15K$ for the same lousy budget set of music and low burst height fireworks choreography for the past four year s. This year the mayor and the business community went to a big traditiona l show again.
I can tell when the economy is bad around here by one sure sign. If Retail businesses and resturants stay open on a major holiday things are bad. This year everything was closed, including most fast food places.
People in Northern Ohio were really spending money on this years Forth.
