about that inauguration…
I’ve heard there’s some unprecedented stuff going on – Bonnie tells me people have like a 3-hour break off work to watch the inauguration and places all over campus will have things set up to watch. It also sounds like a bunch of people are getting themselves to DC, or having viewing parties, or even, as I’ve heard in Baltimore, students are getting the day off.
This sounds super exciting and I sure wish I could be participating in it. Maybe things are moving toward an upswing. I read this article here about Native folks and the inauguration, and the comments section is really interesting too.
What are you all out there doing specifically for the big day?

My office will be showing the event from 8:30am until the parade. The viewing is mainly for staff. However, if any customers are there, they are welcome to watch with us. I’m supposed to be teaching a computer class that morning. However, I’m just going to have people practice their typing while I watch the TV.
