I’m looking out the window to see if the recycling has been picked up yet (it hasn’t). But then I notice something orange waving in the breeze. It’s a tiny little orange flag planted near the curb just beside my driveway.

I then notice that the neighbour has a similar flag. Other adjacent houses don’t, but a few farther away have them, too.

With my luck, this will not be good. Some kind of digging or destruction will ensue. Actually I have this paranoia that an evil city council is going around marking the houses of residents they don’t like. We shall see what develops.
