Half mast

We were in DC yesterday when we heard Reagan had taken a turn for the worse. Not too much later, we were in a store when a guy who looked like he spends most of his day on the street came in and said that Reagan had died.

By 5:30 p.m., we saw that the White House had lowered the flag. Pretty neat to see that only an hour and a half after Reagan passed away. The gloomy day in DC really seemed to fit.

My wife took this photo as I drove past the White House, since we didn't have the time to stop and get out. (I know, a drive-by shooting in that area is risky.) I would have spent hours taking photos if I'd had the time. Wish I could be in DC this week.
