Fill in the blanks of each sentence with words that are anagrams of each other. The number of dashes equals the number of letters. Probably pretty easy, but I'm tired.

1. The thief used a special ---- to open the lock and steal the ----.

2. We drove an extra ---- to buy a key ---- pie.

3. The recipe called for water----- and ----- juice.

4. Her face became ---- when she saw her lover ---- from the cliff.

Why, moving the socket clockwise in relation to the bulb, or to the right, will unscrew the bulb. smile

According to U.S. law, there are officially designated days that all U.S. flags are to be flown at half-mast (for example: Memorial Day). The President and state governors also have the right to declare certain days that flags are to be flown at half-mast.

There is a particular group of U.S. flags that are never lowered to half-mast and appear to "violate" this U.S. Law. These flags were erected by U.S. Military personnel, but those troops will never be accused of doing anything wrong for those violations.

These flags are currently displayed today, and they have been for numerous years. Where is this particular group of flags displayed?
