Inaugurations are just parties in disguise
Since happiness is contagious, I’m really very happy right now. Our neighbours to the south are engaged in a huge party, with millions of well-wishers lining the reflective pool and getting ready to watch “the man” put his “hand in the air” sometime later this week. Noon on Tuesday, for those who need to be exact, and that’s Eastern Time, for those who live in other clock zones. I am happy, because no matter how much we like to show disdain for their system, they do throw a good parade. Did you see those eagles (on tethers) this afternoon?
