A lot of cars around here have a flag decal on them. I thought it was the Scottish flag, only I looked it up and I’m not sure. The flag of Scotland is a white diagonal cross on a blue field. The flags I’m seeing are a blue diagonal cross on a white field. (Actually, I’m not sure if I’m seeing Scotland’s flag or the one I described. I’ll have to look again.)

If I’m remembering the latter, anyone know what it is?

That’s it.

There is a very large Russian community around here.
