      Reading the word semiquincentennial just irks me for some reason. Like why use a word for the half of five centuries instead of just the number 250?

      trying to avoid it here but it’s a little difficult.

      on the plus side, a government office nearby covered their lawns with pride displays with not one shred of red, white and blue anywhere. love it. i think of all the local yokels that must be fuming over it every time i go by.
