I'm amazed

I've never watched TV much but now that I'm retired I am.  I'm amazed at all the pomp and ceremony going on. It's going on to 8 hours now. The Mississippi Valley college marching band was PHENOMENAL! 
I talked a friend in a Seattle suburb and he reported that the amount of fireworks in his neighborhood this morning was incredible. Could it be that even in far left Seattle the tide is turning?  Nah, that's just wishful thinking.

I was watching too, expecting to see the Texarkana, TX High School Band perform. I guess they got knocked out due to time constraints. A real shame those kids worked so hard to raise money for the trip and then not get to perform.
