:-DDD it looks like you had an easy time too?

took me a few tries to squeeze onto a train, but they were running fast and smooth, and people were gracious about the squoosh factor

It's been a long damn time since I felt any hope about politics. Or ever, really. This is maybe the first time.

What's so amazing is that the celebration wasn't put together a long time ago by the city, which is what usually happens, my aunt is a leader in the Department of Special Events for Chicago and she didn't have to do anything. I love his speech, did you catch the paraphrases of Martin Luther King?

I hope they improve roads and the trains, afterall we've got a president (and a puppy) who'll need to get home once in a while! :-)

Oh and the UFOs once they figure out what's happened, will start coming here.
