It was beautiful in Washington today, and I took a bike ride down to the Mall to be a tourist for a change. (Aaron got me a new camera for Christmas – so I used it.) The flags are still at half-mast for president Ford. These surround the Washington monument. The sun was going down and it was around 70 degrees.
(Note: A few readers have emailed to point out that the term "half-mast" should really refer solely to flying flags at sea. The more correct term for flags on land is "half-staff," although both terms tend to be used interchangeably these days.)
