Nevada's Flag Day
Although they now observe it on a convenient Monday or Friday, October 31 is Nevada Day, commemorating the state's admission to the Union. I still contend that this means that Nevada is the only state where Halloween is a state holiday.
We flew the state flag today in commemoration of the holiday.
Nevada's flag is somewhat subdued, being a mostly blue flag with the "Battle Born" slogan (because the state was admitted during the US Civil War) in the corner.
Because of the pandemic, we did not go anywhere or do anything special for Halloween, and did not get dressed up in any of our costumes. However,
travelswithkuma did wear one of his costumes and took a picture with his Jack-o-Lantern. He has an opinion about people who don't wear their masks.
Speaking of COVID, Lisa and I drove to Reno Airport this morning, where Lisa dropped me off at the terminal and drove over to the cell phone lot so we didn't have to pay for parking while I went it to get my PCR test needed to fly to Canada to attend World Fantasy Con. Fingers crossed that there are no cock-ups in the testing and that I have negative results to share with the authorities in Canada on Wednesday. Lisa picked me up and we ran one more errand that came up for one of Lisa's new projects about which I will write when it's completed.
