I am beginning my celebration early. I just gave a ❤️ to every post here. I will stop by a truckstop in about an hour, I’m on my way back home on my truck drive work schedule, and I’m going to buy a bag of Reese’s pieces and eat it. I am a health food person, this is not typical behavior. I’m also thinking about swinging by Food 4 Less in South Sacramento and grabbing a bottle of Jager Meister on my way home. We are also not alcohol drinkers. But this is a special occasion.

OK, I bought the candy. As I was paying for it, the gentleman who took my money has darker skin color than I have. He wished me safe driving. I told him I’m having a good day, and I said, “do you know why?“ And he said yes, because it’s negative 45° today.

YEAH BABY ‼️ IT’S NEGATIVE 45 TODAY🎉🇺🇸

YOU GO, DUDE! I have a cheeky sauvignon blanc awaiting me to open tonight...yeah, a white wine which us "libtards" are always accused of savouring. Well, I'm "savouring" watching sanity return to our government today. Your happiness is our happiness. YOU ROCK!! Stay safe!

Best. Pun. Ever. Love it. Thanks, Roland. Me: chocolate splurge. And this weekend, my family and I are having Thai delivered. And somehow, in spite of the fact that it is heading toward zero degrees tonight, I feel ensconced in a special kind of warmth. Relieved of a stress I didn't know was that bad until it fell away.

Thank you Stuart. Driving safely is my life. I wouldn’t dream of cracking that Jager Meister until 9 o’clock, when I plan to be wide awake and celebrating with my wife. YAY DEMOCRACY IN THE USA 🇺🇸 🎉🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That’s 9 AM Pacific Time, the witching hour of noon at the inauguration.

Take two aspirin before you go to bed. Jager is tough stuff.

Avoid them only if they prove a hazard to your vehicle. Otherwise . . . .

Watch out for the wind today! CA seems to be having quite the weather.

35-40 mph winds for D.C. today. Whoosh! Out with the old...In with the new!

Yes, the winds of change, that’s what I’ve been thinking for the last 12 hours

Oh my goodness you should’ve seen Canoga Park on my way out of LA, not to mention the mountains between LA and Bakersfield (hi Ted! Hi Kevin McCarthy!). Gusts up to 30+ mph, fortunately I had a load in the trailer, that glues you to the road even in a wind. Tumbleweeds, garbage, leaves, dust storms . . .

Just a physical symbol of all the garbage being swept away ...

But with luck, no more significant fires - and maybe a little rain soon!

Way too much Prosecco here but I am SO happy!

I love your infectious joy. And a celebration of Reese's sounds like a good start.

As it happens, we're having a turkey for dinner tonight, which is not common for us to have except for Thanksgiving. I realized the timing and significance and declared that tonight's turkey dinner was a THANKSGIVING to be sure!

Just reading this Friday. Great post and thread. Yes. Celebrate. A different world now. Same crises but real leadership. Negative 45 is a winner. Lets keep on moving down the road to restore/transform America. Hope you had a good celebration.
