Catching up:
On flags: my neighbor across the way started flying a white flag with blue field in left corner with a Red Cross in the blue. He put it over American flag. Another neighbor has an inverse flag of blue stars on a white field and vertical red and white stripes.
A third has some sepia tones hippie message flag. No Trump flags seen- except at the marina
Time for me to buy a new Stars and Stripes

On sports: Pulling for Edmonton to win the NHL Stanley Cup. I am Kings fan, but really like watching Connor McDavid. The Ace Rothstein post below was great to watch as an example of his size and quickness. Rooting for Dallas in NBA finals because I have a nine year old Mavericks souvenir t shirt from my last visit to Big D.

On old school boot making: Artisinal bookmakers do their thing in rural Cyprus post WWII —see photo
