What the heck is going on at Magic?

[chuckstah]

Although the flags are a great idea, there should not be a Swiss flag without a flag of USA at same height? Am I wrong? This is how I was brought up! Maybe things have changed in the last 50 year's, I hope not.

Technically right.

No the American flag should always be higher.

 

[Sorcerer]

Always keep it real. But I can see how you would think that.

That Swiss flag summit the pole or still down below it?

It's still waiting for your bucket truck.

I guess my summer country club is in America.



The winter one.......lol

I just looked up a 50' bucket truck rental - $300 per day. Honestly, I am half (but not fully) tempted to give someone the $300 to make this ridiculous argument stop and enable MMP's anger level to go down ...

 

[skithetrees]

BTW Bill, I appreciate your efforts and understand your rationale, even if others don't. However, I think the one flag halfway up is worse than none.

Too bad the crews aren't working on the condos anymore. I'm certain a couple ice cold IPA's would have redirected the boom truck to take a side trip down to the flag poles.

Well between you and bill this thing just might get done. If wishes were horses on dreams we could ride.

Anger is what you detect? Hardly. I just appreciate follow through more than empty rhetoric, and really think flying the Swiss flag alone looks idiotic. Leaving it like that is a mess that someone else needs to correct. But hey let's all give each other a reach around and pat each other on the back for our good intentions.

Feel the pride!

A crowdfunder project or maybe just a bucket with a picture and a brief explanation in the BLT would get that covered in a few days tops IMHO

Whoa whoa whoa. Not so fast. This is just throwing up a few flags. Crowd funding? Bucket truck? Panhandling in the BLT?

How about you just take the Swiss almost flying flag down, and admit that there's no money or interest in resurrecting the flags. Nor people to raise and lower them. Nor replace when tattered. Nor light them. Kumbaya for a nice thought. But isnt it really just silly at this point? Crowd funding. Haha.

One of my dogs photobombed the flag pic.

I like dogs and kids.

I would argue that if you want the flags down, the poles need to come down as well.

You could volunteer the labor to get it done.

 

[steamboat1]

Sad state of affairs at Magic if they can't even get 3 flags up a pole.

 

[MMP]

Why the heck would they? Jesus you guys are dense. They can barely pay to heat the lodge.

Me volunteer the labor? Nah. I'm good.

What exactly are you pissed about? It seems like you just rail against whatever gets posted in this thread.

The guy does have a point. How hard is it to get 3 flags up a pole. They didn't even have to buy them Billski donated them. Sad if you ask me. Same chit as when I have to change the clothes line for my wife, yes she still uses it. What's the problem?

Maybe they need another string donation. Sad.
