Be Prepared For Inauguration Day

Please be prepared for Inauguration Day! I’m watching the weather and the news on TV today and hoping for a wonderful Inauguration Day on Monday, January 20th, 2025. Let’s not talk about Republicans, Democrats, or Independents. Let’s talk about the unity of our country and the world and unity with family and friends.

I don’t remember this negative nature among all parties in my lifetime. This includes tension among family and friends over who might be or was elected. It’s like the elephant in the room, so to speak. I typically don’t say much about my feelings regarding current events since it often brings on a negative reaction from others. I’m pretty quiet except when I get the giggles, but in some circles, the election results became no laughing over this election.

We all know there were repercussions after the election of Joe Biden four years ago. The pundits aren’t expecting an uproar as the preparations take place for the inaugural ceremonies for current President-Elect Donald Trump to be our new President Donald Trump. Of course, what may happen along Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., is much different than what residents may experience in their hometowns across America.

There have been extensive construction activities to erect public viewing areas and needed road closures will be monitored by capital police along the parade route for the Inaugural Parade and near the stage area where the inaugural address is given. For those who were lucky enough to be given one of the limited number of tickets, plan on long lines, particularly at the portable toilet facilities.

Be Prepared For Inauguration Day

Don’t Forget Hurricane Helene Families and First Responders

During these times of political turmoil, we often think the government, as represented by our preferred candidates and leaders, will be the ultimate problem solvers. We wonder: “What can I do to make a difference for struggling people?”

As shown by the challenges faced by the families affected by Hurricane Helene, government agencies couldn’t cover the vast areas the hurricane-affected. While some people waited for help, many others, even those whose homes and property were significantly damaged or destroyed, were out rescuing others. That mainly was the case with first responders called into duty, rain or shine. There are still areas where FEMA hasn’t been able to set up shop. Still, concerned neighbors, civic clubs, religious organizations, and various non-profits have jumped in and provided food, shelter, and safety.

Pray for Families and First Responders in the California Fires

We’ve all been touched by the devastation we see on the TV while numerous fires destroy whole neighborhoods in Southern California, and they continue to rage on. Our family has been praying for those families and businesses ravaged by these wildfires.

Again, there haven’t been enough firefighters to stem the tide of the fires advancing from one city to the next as the winds seemed never to let up. There have been numerous deaths reported as many people were caught off guard when told to evacuate.

Thank goodness some service-oriented organizations and businesses have put out the word that displaced families can come and find refuge indoors, get food and water, and financial counseling as needed. Our daughter in CA has a wonderful friend, Rocsii, who is on Instagram @thesourcela, whose mission is to provide “a diverse range of services and programs” to help people in and around Los Angeles facing difficulty on many fronts. She’s organized food pantries, rounded up water sources, temporary shelter space, clothing, financial donations, and so much more. We all could be more like Rocsii as our fellow Americans face daily struggles.

I suggest the following before Inauguration Day:

We must go forward and hope for a better America and better relations with other countries. The votes came in, and whatnot, and I’m excited about a change, and our government needs one badly. No matter where you live, there are things you should consider doing before, during, and after the swearing-in ceremony. I hope we have a smooth and uneventful transition, so you’ll see I’m suggesting things you’d prepare to do with family and friends. I’ve also listed a few things that may help if things get out of hand close to home.

  • Fill your gas tank before the weekend.
  • Please stock water in case local riots break out and you must hunker down.
  • Have at least 30 days’ worth of food in your home by this weekend.
  • Get some popcorn; it’s a great snack, or you can make my Caramel Popcorn.
  • Choose some drinks to serve to friends and family.
  • Chips and Dips are excellent, or Appetizers.
  • Make Hot Cocoa or Hot Chocolate.
  • Make a platter with vegetables, cheese, meat, and fruit.
  • Order hot wings.
  • Order pizza.
  • My favorite would be Mexican food.
  • Be aware of your surroundings in your neighborhood and if you see anything out of the ordinary, call 911. We all appreciate a safe and secure environment no matter where we live and what our political feeling are.
  • Stay home like me, if possible, and enjoy the musical performances, opening remarks, and a better view of events than even foreign leaders in attendance experience.
  • Pray for our Country and our new Leaders.
  • No matter what you do, enjoy a well-deserved day off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which happens to also be Inauguration Day, Monday, January 20, 2025.

Final Word

I’ve been wanting to write about Inauguration Day for a few days. I contacted those family members and friends to be prepared before the big day if things happen that we may not expect, like riots. I don’t want to be fearmongering, but we must be realistic, be prepared for the worst, and enjoy the best. May God Bless this world, Linda

  2. Thank you for this, people do need to be prepared – I have a mixed feeling of what’s going to happen Monday. Even after, it’s going to be tense. I’ll be at the doctor, but will be wearing my Never Surrender t-shirt.

  3. Use your heads. Full tank of fuel, cash on hand, armed and simply paying attention.
    The initial event most likely won’t affect you directly it’ll be the residual.
    Think about a list of what might need to be bought should you be able to.
    Stay safe

  4. Linda, thank you for your wise words and help. I so agree that we all need to be united no matter our political leanings. I’m sad at the mess our country is in and hope and pray we will all help to fix it in positive good ways.

    1. Hi Janet, thank you for your kind words, my sweet friend. It’s one more reason to stock what you can NOW, just in case. It’s the unknown, stay safe and keep praying. Linda

  5. Since we live in a small town, well, outside of town. Population around 4,000, I’m not too worried about riots here, but other places? Yes. We don’t talk politics. We aren’t Republicans nor Democrats. My party is American. I vote for the American people.

  6. Linda: Your kind words of wisdom never cease to amaze me! Yes, people should get ready. There is a lot of negative/dangerous stuff predicted, and I pray against all of those issues regularly. President Trump already had 2 more assassination attempts at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral, as many of must already know. Being out in the open on the 19th and for the inauguration on the 20th makes me think he might be taking undue risks for the celebrations. There is more predicted to take place at the inaugural balls, but I don’t want to scare your readers by passing on what I’ve heard from people with inside intel. Like I said, I pray against those attacks constantly! Since my husband found that our local Aldi’s store was 70% empty three days ago (but never before), I DO suggest very explicitly that people go back to making sure they top off all of their supplies while they are able, especially gasoline or whatever fuel you use the most, get some cash on hand, refill all life-saving prescriptions and get extra water!! If you don’t already have one, it might be good to invest in a quality water filter now while you still have a couple of days in which to do that! Me, myself and I just finished ordering a bunch of natural and homeopathic medicines for flus and plagues, with the advice of my dear friend who is a professional homeopath and nutritional counselor.

    Reply

    1. Hi Jess, wow we don’t have Aldi stores in Utah, 70% empty, yikes! It sounds like people are starting to understand they need to stock up right now. I keep telling my family to stock water and food, they can’t depend on me. Some roll their eyes and some ignore me. Tough love is hard but that’s how I roll. Stay safe, Linda

  7. I just filled my vehicle gas tank yesterday. I used my Safeway points (Safeway is the only real grocery store in town!!), and I paid a whopping $1.96/gallon! Without the points, I would have paid $2.75!!

    I have water and of course, my food preps. All topped off!

    As for unrest, when the election was over, I remarked – Let the chaos begin!! I am sure that chaos will reign as it has since, what, 2016?? I live in a small town and don’t really anticipate any chaos but am prepared if it happens.

    2. Hi Leanne, fuel top off…a good call since the pipeline serving the north east from Ga. has one pipe that is down, is supposed to be back up by tuesday or wed… intense cold coming even as far south as the gulf.. the accu weather, weatherman plus and ryan hall y’all you tube weather channels all call for slightly different scenario’s for different places for the country,but all say 20-30 degrees colder than normal.. for high temps. so our 45-48 – well… you do the math. bone chilling cold is my answer. wind will be up and windchill temps will be at least 10 degrees below.. even without national events this kind of temps involve increased electricity and fuel needs for heating. any outages will be life threatening to those not ready to condense their living space..at some points we have to tell people to open their eyes.. and let them get well chilled.
      the grades of fuel used for small engines that are gas operated may be some of the first impacted .One of the places that carry non ethnol are impacted here already with low tanks.

      1. Denise – I am in Wyoming. I don’t think your issues on the east coast will affect where I am. That said, however, the temps in my area are getting colder. This weekend we’ll see below zero lows and highs in the mid-teens. Tuesday it should warm up a bit with highs at freezing to upper 40s then back to colder temps. I run natural gas for heating/cooking/hot water. Fortunately, this as well as my electricity are all local (we have a coal burning power plant for electricity).
        I do pray for those who do not have the means to keep their homes warm enough with the colder temps. A friend, yesterday, told me their furnace (gas) went out and the techs had come out to fix it 2X! Still not working. They are currently using space heaters in the living space and in the bedrooms. I offered my space heater (hasn’t been used in over a year now!) but she declined – I don’t know why!!

        I know all about wind chills!! It is currently 25 degrees with 14 mph winds bringing the wind chill down to 3 degrees!! My little house is still warm though. And, because I am prepared, I don’t have to go out in the snow and blow!! Tomorrow, though, will be colder and I am supposed to go out to my daughter’s home to celebrate her birthday! I am already chilled thinking about it!!
        Stay warm!!

        2. Leanne,
          the pipeline will not affect me either.. Thankfully . When one pipeline goes down they make excuses to re route and it does often impact other areas.. Like you, said…Wyoming probably not so much.
          I am one of the people that normally will NOT wear a hat, I saw this mess coming and got me a new “watch cap”! we plan to stay in most of the time. Our temps will be a mirror of yours by sunday.I will have short forays to take care of necessary things. i will use most of this coming day to pre-position most supplies needed that are used frequently..have already been working on it- now to top all of the things up…batten down the hatches.
          Yep NG here too.. heat, cooking, dryer, hot water. My bill went up by 70$ this last month.. have figured it ahead of the bill and it will be up by 15$ this month by me being selective and intentional with heating./ closing off rooms . Take care up there in the white northwest.!

          Reply

          1. Denise –
            My gas bill only goes up (or down) once a year!! I swear by the budget plan! You might want to check into it.
            I also close off rooms. I have electric wall heaters in both bedrooms and the bathroom. I keep them set at 50 degrees in the winter but only so that the water pipes don’t freeze!! At night, however, I do have my bedroom door open with my furnace set at 60. That way, if my little house gets too cold, the furnace kicks on and helps keep me warm in the bedroom.

            This last storm, we got about an inch of snow, but the roads are icy and if the wind is blowing, it is treacherous driving. I am at an age that I do not like to drive on “iffy” roads. When I know a storm is coming, I make sure to do everything I need to do before the storm so I can stay home.

          3. Leanne, I do a similar one by paying extra ($20-40)-on most bills in light use months. There are 3 high months here, -and with my planning i can cut that to 2. easily, sometimes one.Not having an artificial high bill all year enables me to do the other yearly expenses thru the year. In addition to being able to only have 2 high bills i can often skip needing to make a payment for 2-3 months, in summer and fall-should an unexpected expense arise.This flexibility is worth me doing the planning.

      3. Hi Denise I just checked my solar inverter to confirm it was working, I had to charge it. These cold windchills can take our power down. Stay safe, great reminder, Linda

  8. Remember those stupid pink hats from the protests during President Trumps first term. Who would take anyone serious when they looked like a complete idiot. I am quite content to stay home, frankly until spring. I will pray for those people trying to put America back on sound footing. I am not trying to bury my head in the sand, but I also can’t make myself sick over things I can’t control. I will take Linda, Matt, Ray, Jess, and everyone else’s wisdom to heart and do my best to keep me and mine safe. God Bless America.

    2. Chris, those pink hats and more have protests scheduled for DC and over 85 more cities. outside activities for 20th are cancelled with high temp of 19 and low of 7, that night and windchills well below zero. i have a fairly warm house, and what we want to eat… think it would be unwise to travel anywhere…

      1. Denise, Like you, we will stay warm inside. Any protests I suspect will be in downtown Buffalo, far from us. I am concerned because our son is town police. We are meeting friends for brunch tomorrow. My husband has a therapy appointment on Monday, but that can easily be rescheduled. I am quite content to stay home.

  9. Just heard, the Inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors because of the weather. I suspect it is more about safety, and I am grateful for that.

  10. Best of luck to all in the USA, whatever their political stripe. We don’t all need to love each other but there is no reason to not at least treat each other with respect and there’s no excuse for the intense incivility so prevalent these days. Here in Canada we are a bit nervous about the coming tariffs and hope we can maintain good relations between our two countries. With increasing worldwide instability it’s important to have good partners, friends and allies. Living on an island you tend to be more prepared than the average mainlander because you just never know when the weather or mechanical issues might cut off transportation or communications. Luckily we have a lot of cooperation between islanders to get things done, regardless of what the personal politics might be.

    1. Hi Alice, it sounds like you have a wonderful group of neighbors who look out for each other. What a blessing, my sweet friend. I totally agree with you that everyone should be kind, and teach each other with respect no matter which political stripe (I like that statement, Alice) they believe in. Great comment, we must maintain good relations between out two countries and have good partners, friends, and allies. Respect goes a long way, great comment, my sweet friend. Linda

    2. Alice, don’t worry about the tariffs, i think the info on that is all used as a deterrent. If country A says we are going to impose a tax on everything coming in our country – result… country B says …. two can play that game and we will impose those same charges too.. the result is no taxes for either country on imports.or exports..

      2. Oh I don’t really worry. It seems to always work out one way or another as long as enough sensible people have a hand in it somewhere. Back in my working life far from “head office” we always managed to interpret inconvenient official pronouncements in a way that worked for us without causing unwanted attention. Just need a really good explanation to relay back that will confuse in ways that seem to indicate compliance.

  11. Good afternoon, Linda and all, I, too, am ready for Inauguration Day. I will not be going out anywhere unless it’s an emergency. I finished getting what I needed yesterday. I needed some milk and cold cuts. We are expecting some snow starting Sunday afternoon, not much information on how much (1-3; 3-5; maybe more), they are not sure but I’m ready. I will let you know how much we eventually get. Everyone, have a safe and warm weekend. Mildred Stephens

  13. I am going to start on a new quilt tomorrow. Just cleaned out the fridge of apples that were getting old and made a toffee caramel apple pie and caramel apple crisp (new recipes). Also put all the excess egg whites from holiday baking into a chocolate angel food cake I’m taking to a family dinner to serve with the excess spray whip cream also from Christmas. This should make the family happy this weekend and my fridge looks a lot better! It’s funny how this topic devolved into staying home and cooking LOL.

  16. I was going through photos from past Inaugural Parades just this morning! (Wish I could share them here.) I rode in four of them, as well as being prepared to ride in Reagan’s cancelled parade. Cancelling that may have been a disappointment, but still a good decision. I guess no word yet about the fate of this parade, although it won’t be *quite* as cold as Reagan’s!

    And talk about being prepared… The extra equipment, extra layers, you name it. I remember how many water buckets we thawed out with the electric kettle we brought, never mind the needed hot drinks!

    Part of me wishes I could be there again, but sadly the official handling of horse units was terrible at the last 2 parades I did. I said I’d never put a horse in that sort of danger again. And some preps were lacking, officially, too! At the Clinton parade, they had neglected to put porta-potties in the horse-units area. At the Obama parade, they had bomb-sniffing dogs to inspect all the transport vehicles–not a bad idea, but apparently no one had ever thought to desensitize the bomb dogs to the delicacy known as horse manure!

    As for the weather… TV people: “Dangerous cold and wind chills.” Farm people: “Wouldn’t be bad if it weren’t for the wind. Let’s go feed and muck out now.”

    Reply

    1. Oh Rhonda, I would love to see those pictures, oh my gosh, chance of a lifetime! Having horses you have had a busy but wonderful life with them. You should write a book, the experiences the rest of us will never have. If it isn’t safe I wouldn’t put my horse (if I had some) in harms way either!! Your last paragraph, “As for the weather… TV people: “Dangerous cold and wind chills.” Farm people: “Wouldn’t be bad if it weren’t for the wind. Let’s go feed and muck out now.” I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Way to go girl! Linda

  17. Oh, and more parade preps… You’re dumped in your muster area possibly as early as 8 A.M. until you’re merged into the parade (at the Obama one that was after dark!), with your transport vehicle taken to the dispersing area at the end of the parade, way out of reach. There might be a box lunch (but don’t count on it) and a nearby warming tent (ditto). Any equipment, extra coat, blanket for horse while waiting, etc., might not get back to you after the parade. Bring food (and hay for horse), drink, hand-warmers, horse treats, first aid stuff, even acepromazine (mild tranquilizer for horses)… (Some riders discovered that stick-on pain relieving back warmers were a super solution for staying warm!)

    1. Hi Rhonda, oh my gosh, all the details you had to have in place. What a wonderful experience even though you were cold and hungry. I love hearing about the “behind the scenes”, thank you for sharing. Linda

  18. We will have dangerous cold on Monday, I think the high will be somewhere between 5 and 9 degrees, the lows will be in negative numbers. I wish I could stay home, but I have to work that day. I’m going to start a crockpot of soup before I go in.

    I am worried about the inauguration, I think part of the reason it was moved inside was for security reasons, I read an article that many local police departments are not sending in police officers to help with security as they have in the past, they are citing various reasons, but the end result is the same, fewer security than at previous inaugrations. If you are going to be in DC that day, please be extra aware. I am also worried about the reported 100+ executive orders that will be signed on Monday afternoon, the reaction to some of them could be unpleasant.

    I am more worried about the cold weather coming in on Monday and Tuesday. We are ready with a recent furnace tune up, new filters in the furnace, plenty of water and food, gas tanks topped off and I hope we are ready. I have to admit that I don’t want to go to work on those days, the room where I meet with students has an outside door that doesn’t always close all the way and it has been downright freezing on previous cold days. I have a portable heater now, so that should help.

    1. Topaz, I have been having the same concerns. The planned protest groups are not our friends,in any other country these groups would not be permitted to protest.
      Does your school not recognize Federal holidays???
      In addition to Inauguration day. It is the MLK day event..
      .. He was born on Jan. 15 on MY Grandma’s Birthday., they move all those days to a weekend now – and have for a while.-to give federal workers a 3 day weekend…It is cheaper than closing and opening offices..Having a door that does not properly close-SOOOO not good ,space heater or not.
      we have had soup and stew 4 days this week.. not sure what we will do for this one but not soup/stew. we have about 4 days of this round… Maybe red chili, and/or Spaghetti- heavy on the meat, or a bbq. I prefer mine in baked potato loaded with butter .The hardest thing is deciding what to fix.

      1. I went and checked the school calendar, there is a teacher workday on Monday. Since I’m part time, I don’t have to work at those. So I get to stay home in my warm cozy house on Monday.

        I am worried about some of the executive orders and hope that they’ll be challenged in the courts and overturned. There is rumored to be a travel ban on Muslims, including American citizens. I have a friend who is Muslim, her great-grandparents immigrated from Egypt. I consider her as American as I am, but I can travel worldwide and she won’t be able to. Out of 100 executive orders, I’m sure there are a few that will offend everyone.

        After the last 8 years, I’m starting to think that the best way to heal the country is to have a bipartisian ticket in the 2028 election. One with a republician for president and a democrat for vice-president (or vice versa.) The divide where democrats hate repubulicans and republicans hate democrats needs to go. Every politician should only represent his or her district and I know that the man who represents my district manages to make everyone angry at one vote or another, I don’t think he represents anyone from our district. When a bill comes up for vote, some democrats and some republicans should be voting for it and some against. Not a vote solely along party lines. It’s hard for me to fathom that a person representing New York City or Chicago always has the same feelings as someone representing rural South Dakota.

    2. Hi Topaz, those are some cold temps, wow! That door at the school should be fixed ASAP, that’s not safe for those inside. Hopefully someone is going to fix it soon. I hadn’t heard they were not sending police officers inside at the Inauguration, why not? That makes no sense, but then I’m not in charge and don’t know what they security will be. The executive orders I suspect will bring some chaos, I’m glad I don’t live near DC. I don’t know all that will be signed but things must change for our country to survive. I’m glad you have a portable heater, stay warm, stay safe. Linda

      1. Linda, I’m sure there will be plenty of police officers, FBI, Secret Service and National Guard inside with the inauguration, there just won’t be any from the localities around Washington DC (the counties and cities in MD and VA.) By moving it inside and cancelling the parade, I’m sure all the politicians and guests will be completely safe.

        I’ve been happy I don’t live in the DC area most of my life. It’s too crowded and the traffic is a nightmare. I used to live in Richmond, VA and had to drive to DC about once a month for work, that was a nightmare. I think the worst was when I was stopped at a traffic light and a swarm of police officers carrying the riot shields walked by the car, one knocked on my window and said get down under the dashboard. Evidently they were after the folks in the car in front of me and expecting resistance. Luckily it was all over in a few minutes with no resistance.

        1. Hi Topaz, wow, I’m glad you lived to tell that story! I agree they will have a lot of security to protect everyone in that room. I think where I live is too busy, close to Salt Lake City, Utah. I’m a homebody these days. Yay! Linda

          Reply

  19. Linda – couldn’t reply to your comment: HI Leanne/Denise, you keep your heat at 50 degrees, oh my gosh, I would freeze. Stay bundled up, Linda

    Believe me, I do NOT keep my entire home that cold!! I set the electric wall heaters in my 2 bedrooms and bathroom at 50 degrees to prevent any possibility of the water pipes being frozen. My water and gas lines are actually inside my house so it really is unlikely they would freeze but, better safe than sorry!! My living room and kitchen stay a nice toasty 70 degrees with my natural gas furnace!!! I do also open my bedroom door an hour before I retire so that the heat from the living room warms up my bedroom. I keep all the doors closed to save on gas – don’t need to heat rooms that are not being used all day!

    Reply

    1. Hi Leanne, oh my gosh, whew! 70 degrees is tolerable! LOL! When we lived in Southern Utah when the temps dropped below 32 degree, we had keys to several neighbors home and we would text them to let them know we are turning on their heat to 50 degrees and opening all outside faucet cupboards. When the storm would leave we would text them we are going back over to turn the heat down if that wanted us to. No one wants frozen pipes! Linda

      Reply

  20. I like it cold at night and to bundle up under lots of covers, so we turn the heat down to 65. We keep it at 70 when we are at home. Our gas bill did go up when we were both retired. No difference now that I’m at work part time, ‘cuz hubby is still at home.

    Our house in Richmond was great, we had 3 heating areas. We bought the house with plans to have children and need more bedrooms, so we kept the upstairs at 60 degrees; the was an addition that we didn’t use the first few years and we kept that at 60 degrees. Rest of the house was at 68 degrees. I wish this house had that option. If we ever build a house, I will have multiple heating areas.

    1. HI Topaz, I like heat down at night as well. Life is good when you bundle up under covers! I bet that Richmond house was fun to dream and design the changes. Love it, Linda
