I can't seem to connect with the CBS webcam. It must not be Mac compatible.

If you were my employee, I'd understand this week only!

I think he gets it, and he's been pretty cool about it - he's popped into my cube a couple of times today, and he's seen my Reagan screensaver and my wallpaper.

I always tear up and get goose bumps when I see Air Force One!

(Except when X42 was in power.)

I've been going on and on to co-workers about all of this. Some of them weren't that fond of President Reagan, but they're humoring me. Most of my co-workers, though, are VERY conservative, which is a comfort.

Guess I wasn't the only one shocked by their original graphic words on the bottom.

I heard ABC radio news the other day say "President Reagan's 'remains'"...(!!!)

...As if he was killed on a battlefield. d'oh!

Banner off on FOXNews. GREAT!!! It sure helps to have your wife as your boss! Way to go Brit!

Brit is suggesting the wayward plane flying in prohibited airspace was a VIP plane, probably some big shot here to attend the funeral.

For CBS webcam, close your browser windows and reopen to reset their link. Then try it. Their Webcam link must be reset.

CNN says a plane violated air space. Thought it might be carrying the Kentucky Governor.

nah, probably the presumed-democrat-presidential candidate trying to get to the head of the line.
