Wanting to listen to the swearing in and inauguration speech of the 44th President of the United States I decided to do something which used to be quite typical for me: go for a long drive while listening to the radio and eating fast food.
After picking up a veggie burger meal from Burger King I headed north on M-24 driving through suburban / rural southeast Michigan, looking at the sparking snow, listening to the radio, and eating my unhealthy meal. I don’t have much to say about the speeches, invocations, poems, compositions, and benedictions, except that I felt that it all had an overall message of difficulty ahead, a need for hard work, and a general belief that if people truly are willing to fix problems they can. Overall, I thought this was good.
Oh, and that photo? I took it just to show the sort of area I was driving through, but it just so happened to be at exactly 44 seconds after Barack Obama legally became president. Funny, that.
