Trump was inaugurated for his second term today at his NYC hotel.
Can't believe you missed that. It was all over the internet, but the Lamestream media probably didn't even cover it.

3. Kids summer sports leagues coming to an end

Lots of kids sports tournaments, softball, hardball, soccer, lacrosse, coming to an end. In many cases, the championship game! Where I am, every school sporting green is in use. Cars everywhere, families out watching their kids, being with friends. It’s great.

In your area, however, I suspect that you’re seeing the cars of end times people who have been called out into the woods to meet their maker. When he doesn’t come, expect heavy traffic as they give up their vigils.

Not 'in' my 'area,' no 'end times people who have been called out into the woods,' MUCH more like kids sports tournaments, Mass/Conn/NY/NJ. Home tomorrow, will see if any 'end time'ers.

and such GREAT weather!

According to my uncle at least. He had people in town to visit and said it was difficult for them to find a hotel because of family weekend events at a local university.

Took ages to find motel near Worcester, and finally found a NOT-smoke-free room near Shrewsbury.

Years ago after running the 80 mile Cape Cod Relay our team would eat at that Portugese Restaurant. It's been quite a few years since I've been there.

according to me, but didn't get into NH or VT; not much color along coast of Maine.

Thanks for the thought, tho.
