Biden, who at age 78 is the oldest president to occupy the White House, first arrived in Washington as a young upstart. He was elected in 1972 at age 29 to the U.S. Senate from the state of Delaware and remained there for 36 years before serving from 2009 to 2017 as vice president under Trump s predecessor Barack Obama, the first Black U.S. president.

The Australian Open in Melbourne has been delayed three weeks until February 8 because of the coronavirus pandemic, and has run into new problems this week.
Positive COVID-19 cases on three of 17 charter flights into the country mean 72 players have been confined to their rooms for the entire 14-day quarantine period.

WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden opened his inaugural commemorations Tuesday evening by honoring the 400,000 Americans who have died because of the coronavirus pandemic, marking the final hours before his swearing-in with a somber reminder of the struggles facing the nation he will lead Wednesday.
Biden, returning to Washington for the first time since winning the election, presided over the first national mourning event amid the pandemic, and it set the tone for an inauguration that will be marked with more solemnity than jubilation.
Naomi had a different idea. âThat looks like COVID,â she said.Â
I laughed. âWell, that probably wasnât what the sculptor meant. These sculptures are commissioned many months in advance.â
âBut COVIDâs been going on for almost a year!â
The sculpture is the 45th installed in Carmel, at a cost of $209,200, according to
The Indianapolis Star.Â
Naomi doesnât like the roundabouts. The city of Carmel has more than 125 of them and she claims they make her nauseous when I drive her around them. As the one who will soon be teaching this 16-year-old how to drive, and drive around the roundabouts, this is a cause for concern.
