Santa Cruz on inauguration morning
I was goign to go to work and watch the inauguration from there but I was getting a late start so Nicole decided we should watch from home. About half way through Obama’s speech Nicole pointed out that there was no traffic noise and indeed she was correct. When the speech ended Nicole took me to work and the streets were more empty than I had ever witnessed on a week day morning, but not quite as empty as Christmas morning or the night of the election. Downtown there was only one car parked outside my building and it’s still very quiet outside.
