Into the Sunset

---------------Mike Ramirez, LA Times

In stark contrast to the last 48 hours, today is a miserable, damp, and dreary day in DC. In a sense, it sums up the mood of many people in this town--indeed, the country--as the plane carrying Ronald Reagan's casket lifted off from Andrews Air Force Base. Later this evening, our 40th President will arrive in California. After a 45 minute drive to the grounds of the Reagan Library, he will be laid to rest in a ceremony intended to coincide with sunset.

And so will end our time with Ronald Wilson Reagan.
