It was quiet in my small town; this is part of an e-mail I got from someone in Portland; Oregon:

People are going nuts here. From my window I can hear a marching band, and people chanting "Obama", horns honking, people screaming none stop for the past two hours. I'm in shock, I can't believe I'm seeing this.

Obey gravity, it's the LAW!
We set off fireworks about about 9:45 (we respect our noise violation law in our town that says quiet by 10) and were cracking champagne, laughing and having a great time Our neighborhood is predominantly McCain supporters so we were the only ones celebrating Twas a good night.
