Morning. Still cool, but at least it's sunny here today.

No details yet at the Reagan Library site.

I took down the American flag we fly on a daily basis and put up my father-in-law's flag. I forget what year it was, but we had one flown over the U.S. Capitol for his birthday.

Today it honors Papa, D-Day and Ronald Reagan.

Good morning!

Putting on a fresh potta joe...woke up unassisted at 0330 and turned on the D-Day events at Colleville.

I was there in 1994, part of a VFW contingent out of Germany, some active duty, mostly DA civilians. I shot a lot of video and several stills, and the experience was marred only by the presence of x42 and his harsh mistress.

What a place; what a time.

Good morning. It's gray here, cool and might rain. I hope all the flags I pass on the way to church are lowered, or I shall be upset.

Let me know when you find out details.

It's funny, when Reagan was President my parents weren't conservatives yet - they were too young to vote in 80, and still idiots in 84 - but they respected him. I remember being taught to respect the President, even though my parents didn't like him. That's why, when Clinton happened, it was so shocking to have a president who you just couldn't respect.
