Between the weather and the crowds, I see I made the right decision to =
stay home and watch it via the Ether Viewing Relay Unit.

As for crowds, here's a spy eye view:

Too Many People.

That wasn't all of them, either.  There were people all down the Mall.
The ones at the Washington Monument couldn't get onto the
Mall because it was full.  They were present in the area and listened
to it from somebody's cell-phone/computer/live-streaming connection.

I watched broadcast tv, the first time I've done so deliberately since
1993.
