What did not make it to posted yesterday, along with wondering, foreshadowing, what all historical excursions the US will be treated to between now and the Fourth of July:
RantWoman could be home scrubbing her floor.
RantWoman could be responsibly adulting and looking at her schedule for tomorrow.
RantWoman could be holding forth about AI in academia and the world of computing for seniors losing vision.
Instead, RantWoman is going to let morbid curiosity loose on todays #Rededicate250 experience in Washington DC. This is supposed to be the opening of a months long series of events, history lessons, boasts about the hand of God, the greatest nation on earth and HOPEFULLY some actual reflection on the occasion of the "semiquincentennial" of where the country has gone and where it will yet go. HOPEFULLY there will be room for people of many faiths or no faith. Hopefully.
