The report is he intends to **land** at PBI at 11am. So he’d have to take off from Andrews around nine-ish. I’m sure the people involved are too professional to deliberately muck about to make it so he’s not airborne until 10:30. OTOH if some lone wolf found a way I would not report him/her. ---

I’m figuring that just as Biden reaches his hand out over the bible to take the oath, Justice Roberts slips a pair of hand cuffs out of his robes, cuffs him and says “You sir, are under arrest for treason! Get-em boys!” Then the 20,000 Troops that have been assigned to the capitol area all turn as one and arrest everyone in the audience for Child molestation, cannibalism and worst of all being a liberal. Finally Trump walks up the stage to take a specially prepared oath that makes him president for life. This whole ploy of pretending to lose the election was just to collect all of the turncoats together in one place. five-dimensional chess, boys, five-dimentional chess. ---

I forget where, but another city lured 40 or so artists to take a fiberglass-cast horse, paint or otherwise finish it however they pleased, and then put the ponies all over town. Chicago had cows one year. Also geese. And horses. The cow thing has apparently happened in a lot of cities around the world at this point. Highland, Indiana had ducks one year. Griffith, Indiana had mini train engines. [Here is a list from Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CowParade#Similar_projects), which I’m sure only captures a fraction of what’s been done by this point. ---

There is a (very, very) small town in my county that has a tick festival. Yes the insect. Now I’m not aware of lots of ticks where I live, or that they are any type of problem. Sooo… one year we had a fiberglass tick painting contest. ---

The first one in the US was apparently in Chicago in 1999. I first saw one in New York City in 2000. ---

This needs to go in the Pit rather than the Quarantine Zone. An article about Biden’s plan, which just highlights all the obvious things that the Trump administration didn’t do. It’s a race between getting widespread vaccination implemented to slow the spread and the more transmissible mutant strains taking hold. We’re going to lose that race because of Trump. In fact, we’re going to lose the race because we have this ridiculous lame duck period after the election - imagine what could have been done if Biden had taken over on November 4th. > **[Opinion | Biden’s Covid-19 Plan Is Maddeningly Obvious (Published 2021)](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/18/opinion/biden-covid-19-plan.html)** > > It is infuriating that the Trump administration left so many of these things undone. ---

In fact, we’re going to lose the race because we have this ridiculous lame duck period after the election - imagine what could have been done if Biden had taken over on November 4th. And yet there will be virulent (excuse the expression) opposition to this simple, non-threatening, common sense approach. - National coordination-- SOCIALISM! The feds taking over! Violating our individual liberties! - Urging us to wear masks? See previous answers. - Contact tracing? Big Brother ain’t gonna track me! I’ve got rights! - Lockdown? No one can make me! - Vaccine? Not me-- I don’t trust Bill Gates. He’s behind the vaccines, you know. I think most people will be deeply relieved to see some leadership in this vital area, and I hope to God Congress can get out of Biden’s way. Fingers crossed. ---
