Pete's Log: american bastard
Entry #1408, (Life in General)(posted when I was 28 years old.)
I bought an American flag. I bought it at Meijer in South Bend, IN. It's something like 3 feet by 5 feet.
I never before in my life really felt a need to own an American flag. But I knew I needed one when I moved to Germany. It just felt right.
Just for fun, I hung it up on the wall behind my desk at work. I have no intention of leaving it there, but wanted to see how my German colleagues would react. It's been quite amusing. The opinion seems to be pretty unanimous that I take it down. There was just a varying degree to the sense of humor people had regarding my choice to hang it in the first place.
It's fun being an American bastard.
