- If you fly an American flag this Fourth of July weekend, please do it right. If you fly various flags, including an American flag, Old Glory should be on the left as you look at them. If you hang the flag, either horizontally or vertically, the field (blue part) should be on the left too as most people look at it. A lot of people display a hanging flag incorrectly.

William C. Routenberg was arrested in Florida and charged with murder after police dug up his girlfriend from a shallow grave in his backyard. On the one hand, murderers should realize that if a body is found in your backyard, you are the first, and most likely suspect. On the other hand, Mr. Routenberg, 35, has a 21-year record of horrible, criminal behavior including raping three minors that suggests there should have been a way to lock him up permanently long before this.

With all the promotion its stars, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are doing, I suspected that cranberry sauce and giblet gravy might be required to watch the movie, “Larry Crowne.” The reviews I’ve seen range from mediocre to bad; I haven’t seen even one that raves about it. I like Hanks and Roberts though, so I’ll probably watch it when it comes to cable.

I was wrong. It is possible to have too much money. At the recent Barrett-Jackson auction in Orange County CA, someone paid $198,000 (plus a 10% commission) for a 1963 VW bus! It was a 23-window bus, but still.

I doubt that Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine fame is going to imbue yachting caps with cool by wearing one frequently when he’s photographed. His cap looks silly to me. I live in a boating community and nobody I know has both a boat, and one of those white or light blue hats with the image of a life preserver on the front.

It was widely reported as news that Kim Kardashian had her ass x-rayed to prove it’s not enhanced with surgical implants. I find that a profoundly sad commentary on the state of journalism today.

The school year is over, so I’m going outside to play for the next ten weeks, unless of course I find something more profitable to do.
