HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!!!

Washington In Cold Snap As Obama Speech Seeks End To Global Warming?

Crowd Smaller Than 2009, Less Enthusiastic?

House Republicans complain about excessive size of Obama's inaugural balls

It's a done deal; let them moan and complain as they will, & fu** 'em.

See the whitish line that is a gap in the crowd toward the back. That's the road in front of the Capitol. I'm to the left between the hardware tower and the tree and am leaning against the fence.

(You can't really see me, but I'm there.)

The zoom doesn't work well in Chrome or IE - but it might in some other browser. But the panning is great.

And there was another interactive one that works very well for Zoom - but not panaromic.
It selected different folks in that massive crowd (Clarence Thomas, Bush, etc.) and things (the camera stand, JBL speakers, etc.) that you could just click and it'd zutomatically zoom in on them.

Like I say, the zoom works great - but it's not 360 degress.

And I was able to find myself. I recognized my jacket. It was too much of a blur to prove to anyone it was me, but it definitely was.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. day, I am elated as we celebrate this very special 57th Inauguration of our President! Four more years!!!

lady, their daughters, the VP, his wife and family and to all you DUers out there. A day to BE PROUD!!
