Mourning becomes Electric

Today I saw a flag flying at half-mast. I wondered if someone important had died.

Then I remembered.

It's still shaloshim for Gerald Ford.

i've been wondering that myself, lately. keep wondering what the occasion is, thinking "gee, we seem to be having a lot of half mast days now..."

how long do they keep the flag at half mast? is it really 30 days?

[pr1ss]

30 days for Presidents.

yeah, even though I know it's President Ford, I still ponder if someone important had died.
