    No matter what part of the world you are in, you are likely aware that the United States inaugurated a new president today. (I watched it live and it was quite positive and hopeful; a stark contrast to the language and demeanor of the outgoing president). A stack of executive orders was on President Biden's desk awaiting his signature. The press was allowed to watch and film the first three, the third of which allows the United States to rejoin the Paris Accord to fight climate change. Good news for all of us concerned about the planet.

    Thanks. I should say we are almost back, because apparently it takes thirty days for approval.
