  • on Midsummer the flag is flown from 6 PM on Midsummer Eve to 9 PM on Midsummer Day
  • on Independence Day the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM.
  • on election days, if the election goes on after sunset, the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM

Famous quotes containing the word time:

    When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advance I now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    It seemed like this was one big Prozac nation, one big mess of malaise. Perhaps the next time half a million people gather for a protest march on the White House green it will not be for abortion rights or gay liberation, but because we’re all so bummed out.
    Elizabeth Wurtzel, U.S. author. Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America, p. 298, Houghton Mifflin (1994)

    I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
    Anaïs Nin (1903–1977)
