Change has come to America! Well, change.gov, that is.

President-elect Barack Obama on Thursday unveiled change.gov, a Web site that will provide details on the presidential transition.

“Change.gov provides resources to better understand the transition process and the decisions being made as part of it,” according to a blog post. “The Obama administration will reflect an essential lesson from the success of the Obama campaign: that people united around a common purpose can achieve great things.” PC Magazine

CAUSE THE DREAMS THAT IVE BEEN DREAMING HAS FINALLY CAME TRUE

I must stop, turn around, bend down and take a photo. So commands the hypnohand.

I’ve seen several of the neighborhood’s sidewalk flowers freshened-up with new paint, lots of new paint, resulting in smears and many footprints.
