More juvenile attempts to get people to ignore the inauguration.

Isn’t the inauguration on the 20th — and not the 29th?

LaBrea Tar Pits is a must see. Over thousands of years, all kinds of ancient animals stepped into a marshy area to take a sip of water. Then the tar seeping up beneath the water surface trapped them. No escape until they were dead. Then their bones were nicely preserved in the tar. Worked like that over and over again and today they have a yuuuuge collection of really cool animal bones like saber tooth tigers.
Excellent video taken from the Shuttle as the astronauts captured & repaired the Hubble telescope, with Earth in the background. Also a compelling movie illustrating astronomical distances in a visceral way. Well worthwhile.
Look up (online) Dr. Lawrence Kavanau, who figuratively & literally helped launch America's space program.
The inauguration takes place on the 20th, not the 29th, and in spite of what some people may think, it is in fact an inauguration and not a coronation, canonization, or deification.
January 29th? Are they celebrating the ninth day of Trump’s Presidency?
There’s actually a Museum of Tolerance?!?
Just the name gives me the creeps. (paging Mr. Orwell...?)
But I thought that the First Lady told us that museums were racist.
It’s actually a very well done private museum on the history of the Holocaust:
“The Museum of Tolerance (MOT) is the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an internationally renowned Jewish human rights organization. The only museum of its kind in the world, the MOT is dedicated to challenging visitors to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts and confront all forms of prejudice and discrimination in our world today.”
Worth a visit if you are in LA.
The Autry Museum is excellent especially the gun collections.
Oops, this is for the 29th, not the 20th. I had just been reading anti-Trump stories, and assumed this was one more. It would have been typical of Cali liberals, but instead may be a good thing.

Guns?
Oh, my.
