North Maple Rag

The Head Kid has already posted about our presence at the last presidential inauguration, but I'm still going to mention it quickly. I sort of dislike admitting it, but four years ago, I did attend Bush's first inauguration. Despite being at the front of the crowd and paying very close attention to the proceedings, I remember absolutely nothing from his inaugural address. That seems sad, but appropriate. What I remember most distinctly from the day is walking past a protestor who was quietly sitting with an anti-Bush sign on some steps on the north grounds of the Capitol and hearing a very loud Texan yell at her, "You have nothing! Nothing! You hear me? Nothing!" Yeah, I heard you. Four more years. Yippee.
