I’ve seen this too often now for it to be a fluke.

 There’s a lot of new home construction going on around here - McMansions going up all over the place.  Each of these sites has a big ol’ dumpster sitting out front.  And everywhere I turn, seems these dumpsters have one face painted as the American flag.

Now, I ‘get’ the patriotic spirit.  But painting a flag on your trash can?  Just what message is that sending?  Do these folks stop to think past the rah-rah-go-USA-whoo! of the giant flag to what they’re symbolizing?

I jinxed myself with the F-302 by saying it was going smoothly.  It’s going to require lots more sanding and re-scribing than I anticipated.    Ah, well.  I was able to lay some primer down on other projects though - a couple figures that were not coming along as I wanted.  The great thing about acrylic paints is that some Simple Green and a toothbrush are all you need for a clean slate.
