If you have ever gone into a lumber yard you may have seen people picking up framing lumber and trying to sight edge them looking for curvature, or more precisely lack of curvature. This is in the belief that when they use the lumber, there will be less likelihood that the wood will turn when used and not have nails popping and damaging a finished product. Experienced builders will opt for kiln dried lumber, which has already had the majority of moisture removed by 'baking' the wood slowly at controlled temperatures. While driving home today, I noticed a bit of curvature that I never noticed before. At first I thought it might have been the result of an accident recently, and that I could possibly find some scrappings or residue on the pole that would verify this. Nothing This pole has ... 08/28/2010

Although today is Flag Day, it is not a legal holiday. In our area there will be very few parades, but at the very least the flag will wave proudly on all state and municipal buildings, like ours, many a residential property. Falg Day is a day of recognition of the adoption of the Flag of the united States by the Second Continental Congress back in 1777. In 1916, Pres. Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as the official Flag Day and in 1949 Congress established the official Flag Day. I well remember as a kid the activities in school centered around flag day, and the morning pledge of allegiance before class began. Try to do that today. There is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag.  The American flag should be held in the highest of regards. It represents our nation and the man... 06/14/2010
