Why no Indiana flags??

This and because the flag of Texas is actually cool looking.



Indiana's .... not so much

Still, it's better than this one:

I actually like it a bit more now that I know there's a rationale for the stars. But, even though I do like Indiana, I definitely don't think it's one of the better state flags that we have. It is way better than Maryland, however.

Yeah... It seems like a lot of states didn't really consult a heraldry expert when they designed their flags. (Sorry, it's the SCA in me coming out...) I will say, from one hundred feet away, you can tell when someone is flying the Texas flag. Indiana's... not so much.

Alabama: Yeah, just throw a couple of perpendicular lines on there... Nah, not quite right... Rotate it 45 degrees... THERE WE GO!

If you can't tell the Indiana State flag from 100 feet away, you need your eyes examined, just saying.

Here's my Indiana flag flying on my secondary pole because it unfurls better on it than under my 5x8 US flag.

Don't know why, but the "We Support Our Troops" flag is mad of a really thin poly/nylon thread vs. the Indiana being a heavier material.

The US flag is a Tuff Tex flag, and we usually get at least a 10 months flying before I have repair the end on it.

The pole that the Indiana flag is on is a Harbor Freight telescoping pole, 4 sections, 16 foot total. One section is not up because I was in a rush to take the pic because the flags was unfurled.
On top of the HF pole is a 3 in 1 weather sensor, coupled with a 5 in 1 sensor in the backyard let's me check up on weather conditions @ home on the displays, or via the web using a Android app on my phone.

Canadian provinces do not have a very good track record of independence. In fact they vote to give independence up.

You clearly have never been to Alberta

It is the Cross of St. Andrew. It is historical, not geometric.

When did Alberta have a referendum? I am unaware of this happening please ejamakate me.

I do know that Newfoundland had a vote and Newfoundland voted to give their independence up.

As I said, Canadian provinces do not have a good track record of independence.

Good luck on that, most HOA's are against minions from showing their Patriotism.

If you put a flagpole up this weekend without the HOA's approval, what will they do? Make you take down a flag pole with an American flag on top? Good luck with that.

We had a member who was asked by his landlord to remove his US flag from the front of his apartment.

To quote Nancy Reagan: "Just say no!"

What then?

I guess you have never been a homeowner that was in a HOA, doing something that is illegal in the HOA's by laws can result in numerous things, not limited to them stacking on multiple violations.

Fined for illegal improvements or decorations.
Lien placed on property for the above.
Legal action placed upon you through the court system.

The first question I asked before we signed on the dotted line on the purchase agreement for our current home was, "Is this home under the governance of a enforceable HOA?"

My longtime friend and realtor said "No, if it was, would this be a deal breaker IBM?"

I replied darn toot'n and me and Mrs. IBM signed the purchase agreement.

My first official act of my owning my new home was to have a 32 foot pole put in the day after closing (house was vacant @ the time), so when we moved in the follow weekend, I was ready to transfer the colors.

I had several neighbors stop and complement the pole and welcomed me to the neighborhood.
