Like some of you, we watched President Trump's inauguration message in the Rotunda -- and noticed President Biden's and VP Harris' expressions -- or you could say lack of expression. Trump certainly has an ego...but if he can accomplish some of the things he's advocating, it might just be a better country, after all. We have some time to find out.
I do think that Trump's assassination attempt has made him a bit more humble -- and grateful. May God help him -- and us.
One small, but extremely classy gesture at the inauguration -- Donald and Melania's son Barron took time to shake both President Biden's and VP Harris's hands and speak to them politely. Now that's good breeding!
It's been incredibly cold here, with a dusting of snow. (True to form, our friends only five miles away in Forbes Park couldn't even get out, due to snow and wind.) We dragged ourselves to church; we had to. The people who were supposed to be playing Sunday had their driveways drifted shut! A long nap in the afternoon helped us recover.
Lots of small jobs this week, plus reports...and lunch/thrift shopping with friends on Friday. I'd better get my work done first.
Meanwhile:
More pardons from President Biden, announced at the very last minute. (I wonder why??) Now, at least, his family is protected - (way to keep your promises yet again, Mr. President). They haven't been charged with anything, after all. Other fancy dancers in the pardon cha-cha include Dr. Fauci and congressional members of the Jan. 6 committee.
In other last-minute news, Biden announced he was personally ratifying the 28th Amendment, and making it "the law of the land". The archivist informed him otherwise -- this has to be done by ALL the states, not just 38 -- and definitely not by the President. But it didn't seem to matter...at least to Mr. Biden.
Hamas released Israeli hostages -- THREE of them -- and had the temerity to give them parting 'gift bags.' Three? Only three???
Six planets will align in the sky, starting this week -- seven by the end of February. This 'planet parade' hasn't happened until 2022.
Joann's files for bankruptcy. Oh boy.
A historic Paris theatre is packed with illegal migrants who won't go away. How did they get there? The theater invited them! But they refused to leave after the conference was over. Hmmm...
Mama dog brings a sick puppy to the vet's for help.
A tasty-looking (and easy) tamale casserole. Good for cold nights.
Some Really Interesting (and unusual) images of the RMS Titanic.
'Now that my home is destroyed, what are the liberal California leaders I voted for going to do about it?' One columnist is thinking about becoming a conservative.
Watch one California house go up in flames -- just like its owner did, via door cam..
A young bald eagle is rescued -- and released -- in Alaska.
Starbucks tricks and hacks -- from people who work there. Includes a link to Starbucks' 'secret' drink menu.
Brrr...looks more like long underwear to me:
The ten most memorable commercials of all time. (And yes, Coke's "I'd like to teach the world to sing" is one of them.)
And finally -- Trump's first ten executive orders...at least according to the Babylon Bee. including:
An executive order granting himself unlimited executive orders: How has no one else thought of this? (Or pardons)
So there you go. Have a good week.

At least Biden & Harris showed up! Can't wait till next week when you talk about the pardoning of the violent Jan. 6th criminals.
Wait a second, Chuck -- are you talking about the criminals Biden pardoned at the last minute...including the child rapists and the lady who embezzled from her town? You really think ALL of the "Jan. 6th criminals" were violent?? (Thanks for writing.)
