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 thought Valley was given way too much time. At least 2-3 high school bands could have performed after having worked hard to earn money to make the trip.
