Historic day

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

But it's so much earlier than I ever thought possible.

Today they'll be swearing in a President who's...

younger than me!

Update:

I love Google Trends.

How else could I have known, that on Inauguration day, there were only two other pressing issues on America's mind...



... a good snow cream recipe, and free makeup.

    Wow. That's a perspective I hadn't considered yet. Another milestone on life's road? (I had to look up his actual birthday, and I'm older . . . barely. I'm pretty sure I have more gray hair though.

  10. Tee-hee, I noticed our "local" TV station amongst the trends. Probably there because ALL the weather folks flubbed the forecast for today. We were supposed to get 4 to 6 inches of snow, we got nuttin, nuttin at all!

  11. The people who have been searching on google more recently have been stickly mainly to a inaugeration-related theme. Snow cone recipes and free make-up have been relegated to much further down the list now.

  12. Swampy, I saw that but thought they might just have a really good inauguration feed or somthing. :) Sorry you didn't get your snow!

    TCE, it turns out the free makeup thing was due to a class-action lawsuit against department stores who had been fixing the prices of makeup. So they have to give away a bunch for free.

    As for snow cream recipes, well who can resist that? If it would ever snow here, I'd make some.

    I thought all the YouTube videos and texting and emails would break the Internets today.
    But things seem to be running smoo.............................
