According to D.C. officials, the jackhammering interrupted the landmark address on 30 separate occasions and came from the nearby U.S. Botanic Garden, where it was being used to break up pavement for a new Heroes of Horticulture exhibit.
O.M.G. That explains SO much. We kept thinking that we were about to have a jet fly-over, the sound was so huge through the speakers.
They couldn't do inside work on the big day?

Hubby says properly prepared squirrel is delicious.
We were eating fried chicken Monday night, which I dislike because I hate maneuvering around all the bones and fat and tendons. Hubby said I'd do terribly living off squirrel. I said I wasn't that kind of Appalachian and my people stopped having to hunt squirrel for food generations ago.

I like that picture too.
What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.
