I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. INAUGP_170120_001.JPG: Photographic crew
2. INAUGP_170120_008.JPG: It's 8:06am and the first group of guards are in place. There's a light rain falling. Keep in mind that the parade didn't pass here until 4pm and the presidential motorcade passed this point at 4:22 so these guys were out here for eight hours. I didn't watch them very intently but I don't remember seeing any taking off for the bathroom or food or anything.
3. INAUGP_170120_014.JPG: These are the security guards with sniper rifles
4. INAUGP_170120_027.JPG: The porta-potties closer to the Mall had signs that had to be covered over to avoid corporate endorsement charges. Notice there's one 8 over from the left that has the brand covered over.
5. INAUGP_170120_030.JPG: Most of the names on these porta-potties are not covered
6. INAUGP_170120_033.JPG: All of these porta-potties have their corporate signs covered
7. INAUGP_170120_039.JPG: Folks on the rooftop responding to me waving
8. INAUGP_170120_047.JPG: Broadcasting booths
9. INAUGP_170120_050.JPG: Another sniper arrives
10. INAUGP_170120_067.JPG: One of the rifles. It's 9:21am.
11. INAUGP_170120_137.JPG: It's 11am. The second wave of police come.
12. INAUGP_170120_141.JPG: Note the military guards
13. INAUGP_170120_154.JPG: Security tents are used to screen people coming in
14. INAUGP_170120_163.JPG: All of these tents are for watching the presidential stand in front of the White House.
15. INAUGP_170120_182.JPG: It's 3:18pm. The parade is getting geared up. There aren't overwhelming crowds.
16. INAUGP_170120_207.JPG: It's 3:59pm and the parade starts in earnest. Notice all of the red hats in the crowd.
17. INAUGP_170120_366.JPG: These are the video trucks that precede the Presidential car. In the back, you'll see a Mountaineer Nation Flag (WV with the stripes).
18. INAUGP_170120_370.JPG: The Presidential car. He had gotten out in front of his hotel but that was about it. (Can you say "conflict of interest"?)
19. INAUGP_170120_404.JPG: Not much of a crowd here
20. INAUGP_170120_425.JPG: One of the more sparsely attended sections of the inaugural parade as Trump's limo slips by. Based on his crowd estimates, there are hundreds of thousands of excited spectators along the entire route. But on this earth, the security detail was sometimes pretty lonely. I guess he could claim he represents the ssmall (handed) people and they're just too small to be caught on film...
21. INAUGP_170120_449.JPG: The presidential car has rounded the corner. Note the guys on the Treasury Department.

If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
