Nobody has said anything about my avatar change. You guys are making me feel bad by not noticing.
Who can guess what it is?
Oh, and I've modified my listing posted on the last page.
Heck, I did notice it the day you changed it..... (I'm deep-south rooted, you know
).... I just figured the level of historical knowledge amongst the core members was vast enough to recognize it that I didn't mention it.
I know this is off thread (but when does that stop any of us?), but I've chuckled often at the GA state flag.
If you remember back in the mid 2000's (under Gov. Roy Barnes-who lost re-election because of it) the flag was changed, against heavy public outcry to soothe the irate minority of folks who maintained a butthurt attitude toward the old flag and its "racist historical roots".......
Well, they removed the old flag, which had an image of the state seal in blue next to the Confederate Battle Flag (also used in several versions of the National Flag of the Confederacy). The funny thing is the flag they replaced it with (the current flag) is merely an image of the First National Flag of the Confederacy (the Stars and Bars) with a GA state seal imposed in the center of the circle of stars.
