REAGAN'S RETURN When the federal government in this town, aka "official Washington," shuts down, so does a wide swath of "unofficial Washington." That includes me. Friday is Ronald Reagan's state funeral at National Cathedral, and I get the day off. This means I will be able to walk on down to see the procession go by. And for what it's worth, I'll write about what I see when I do. In a matter of hours Reagan will be arriving at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, and around 6:00 p.m. tomorrow it will be taken into Washington, DC, to the Capitol Building. This will involve a riderless horse-drawn carriage through downtown and F-15s flying overhead, which promises to be even more dramatic than the combustion engine trip over to Georgetown on Friday. His casket will be available for viewing in the Capitol Rotunda 24 hours a day until Friday morning, and you can be sure I'll show up for both the Wednesday procession and, presumably at a morbidly late hour, the display on Capitol Hill. By the way, Armed Prophet seems to be a lot busier so far this week, but this is all at my personal whims. More here soon. |
