I will be able to watch today&#8217;s ceremonies on large TV screens, but (fortunately) not be out in the throngs of people.<\/p>\n<p>This message was posted, actually, before I got there, but was scheduled to appear on this momentous day.  I&#8217;ll write more about how it all went tomorrow.  Let&#8217;s just hope that the only problems that occur today are minor inconveniences due to crowds and cold.<\/p>\n<p>Watch history, savor the moment, and let&#8217;s work together to make things better.  Frankly, I am sick and tired of the &#8220;terror&#8221; era, where this past President and his Deputy President did so much damage to our country in so many ways.   I will be jumping for joy when I see that guy get on his helicopter, go to Andrews, get on a plane, and scram back to Texas.  I wonder if they have a vault in Wyoming to stick the Deputy Prez in?  Let&#8217;s hope we&#8217;re completely rid of the most dangerous person ever to serve in government in my lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>We can make things better, we can rebuild our economy, we can reconstitute many damaged international relationships, we can bring our boys home, we can move on&#8230; one step at a time.
