Where I live, there will be people watching being they voted for the LYING POS!

I will be likely sewing, being that I do have some Custom commissions on the schedule before the Consumer tax hikes take affect.

rotten though it be, and leaving the telly off for the duration of the event. Tending toward the latter.

I am used to either being thrilled, or having to tune out politics, every four years on my birthday. I will not let that stinky orange turd ruin my day!

That'll be something nice to dwell on come 01/20/2025- MLK, a true American hero who fought for equality and strove for unity in the USA.

But not to invite violence from the “Gazpacho Police”

Simply a display of support for equality, dignity and justice in the face of a racist pig.

I won't be watching Plutocracy Pravda media coverage.

There's probably more things but it's early and I'm not fully in gear yet today.

Routine day for me. Not watching news unless there is breaking news by my own standards, not the mainstream news network's standards. I hope a presidential alert won't be sent out on everyone's phones to tell people to watch the inauguration

Holding a "wake".


A wake is a gathering of family and friends to honor the deceased and pay their respects. It's also known as a funeral reception or visitation. Wakes are often held in the home of the deceased, but can also take place at a funeral home or other location. The emotional tone of a wake is sometimes more positive than a funeral because it focuses on the life of the deceased.

Seriously, I've been thinking of scheduling some kind of meditation retreat for that entire week. I think the spiritual life is my only refuge and recourse of action at this point.

The Founder, starring Michael Keaton, as a matter of fact. No clue what I'll be doing this Inauguration Day other than hoping that...well, that part will remain unsaid.
