Took a turn at @berniesanders parent's place, since I was in the area.

Naturally his parents were proud of him, as most parents are...

... and what's not to be proud of?

He did great work suporting and growing @curie in its infant stages and was renowned for sprinkling fairy dust on #cannabis posts and all their comments.

It created a really cool vibe on steemit at the time.

Of course I was given the tour which started with some photos above the fireplace.

But one photo on the mantelpiece drew my attention more than others.

It was labeled "discovering the flag".

The smile on his face only hints at the joy flags would bring to him in later life...

...and though he has created many alternate personalities; he can't seem to escape that inordinate fondness for flags, first manifest in his infancy.

When @berniesanders flags, many of his alternate personalities can't resist the urge to follow
@engagement
@thebotkiller
@thecyclist
@theyeti
@steemservices
@yougotflagged

and so the list continues...
