    I live in Idaho, right on the WA border in a town called Lewiston, nice place and usually everyone is pretty friendly, strangers will help you out in a bind etc.

    Last summer, a group of high schoolers thought it'd be awesome to drive around the streets with a bunch of them in the back of their pickup, one holding a very large confederate flag. They'd been circling the town (I'd seen them pass my house like 3 times that day) so I felt like they were just doing it to be seen, the kids in the back looked all smug as they waved their pretty little flag, they were all sat on the sides of the pickup so they couldn't be missed.
    They started making their 4th pass past my house when a dog ran into the road suddenly from over the other side of the street, the driver slammed on the brakes and the flag holder went arse-over-tit and fell out of the truck, landing pretty hard on the concrete below. Sadly the kid wasn't too hurt e_e haha, he could get up just fine though he looked a little scraped and dazed. Usually when something like that happens here, people swarm you, will pick you up, make sure you're alright but no one wanted to help the little flagdouche, they drove past him, some honking madly, others laughing at his dose of karma.

    Moral of the story; tuck away your confederate flag, it doesn't look cool. Karma is a beeeeeech.

    Never did see them driving around town with their flag after that. . .
    My Aunt lived in Lewiston, love that nearby Potlach thing.. :P (I'm from Pocatello myself, now an Alwaysovercastandrainygon (Oregon))

    I think the shirt would be awesome - I don't really have a thing for flags though (not that I'd be against it as an option if it can sell, why not right?)

    Oh god, potlatch /barf ;~;.

    I didn't think a town could 'actually' stink, boy was I wrong! Other than potlatch and ECO this place ain't so bad, just a bit smelly if the wind doesn't blow just right haha.

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    You can buy yourself a portable ARR Legacy Weather Vane, just hold in the sky and find the proper direction to walk

    Or your very own Nael Van Darnus mask! With its own air to aether distiller (because Nael breathes pure aether :P)

    But isn't the NA Square Enix store still closed?

    Talking about flags though, how about the other cities flags?
