And a lot of it changed in a month. The US, which used to be a bastion of capitalism and run by the "old white rich guys" as one newspaper put it, now has a largely nationalized banking system and a half-black president. Crazy. This is really exciting politics compared to the Canadian federal election (for a guy who doesn't really like politics that much). If people think that nothing will change now that Obama is president, they are sorely wrong. Without even doing anything as president, many world leaders around the globe (and citizens of their countries) have completely changed their perception of the US for the better. The US and the rest of the world are ready for and welcoming change. Good luck to all.

Change is good
This post isn't just to show that a change in fashion over the decades is welcomed (these are vintage 70's clothes, by the way -- the green outfit was even handmade by my mom), or that we did do something for Halloween (this picture is from the night after Halloween - our actual Halloween involved handing out candy to kids and doing renovations until some friends came over and we all fell asleep watching Ghostbusters. Yes, we had a sleeping party), but that the recent happenings in the US are really eye-opening events that have turned that country on its head.
