Inauguration Day follow-along thread -- Woo-hoo! Cue the brass bands & fireworks!

Well, I’m settling in on my couch with streaming of coverage of the festivities for the next several hours, in which I will be going on a computer/phone technology fast, just so I can soak it all in. I pray it goes off smoothly.

Huzzah, y’all! Huzzah! I’ll see you on the flip side!

Aww man, I’m already tearing up.

It happens.

There are 3 other living vice presidents: Walter Mondale (93), Dick Cheney (79), and Al Gore (72). Possibly Mondale might not want to attend due to age, but if Qualye was invited I’m surprised that Gore at least isn’t there.

Cheney was advised by doctors not to go. He is a real health risk. Gore is in tenn.

Blount and klobucher. It. Just started snowing in philly. Wow, that is unexpected.

Yeah, if he’s in TN, that’s a less-than-two-hour flight, close enough to pop over for a couple of hours.

C’mon, Al, even if you’re “busy” on a trout stream, it’s “come as you are”, fishing vest and all!

So cool to see the past Presidents.

It was just noted that some of the lawmakers are wearing body armor. As they said, a sign of the times.

I saw gore on tv last night. He has lost a lot of weight. It could be health reasons as well.

We’ve gone from “mourning” to “morning”, and all we had to do was subtract “U”, Donnie.

He’s been live on NBC commentating.

Weather deteriorating.

Anyone know who the young woman with orange sparkly stuff on the top of her beige coat is? Or the man who is with her?

Is that snow?

Those are the imhoff children. Cole and Ella.

I really like dr Biden’s coat.

Yes. There’s flurries coming from across the river.

Klobuchar is positively giddy. I love it.

Beautiful!

I taught this poem in 1970 Freshman English at UT Arlington (Texas).

Ok, hankies out now…

Man I keep tearing up.

Thanks.
