Befuddled
OK - It's 11:50 PM in Rancho Mirage and CNN Pipeline has a live feed of people filing past Gerald Ford's casket.
Update: It's now 3:15 AM in Rancho Mirage. The five Marines are still standing at attention and though I can't really tell if she's in uniform, but the female possible Marine who appears to be a greeter is also standing in an attention-like stance, while the guy in the suit has wandered in and out of the frame, a couple of times while I've watched. Just now, I saw the first couple of mourners in about five minutes. So, it appears that there are a few nightowls in California, who are wanting to pay respects.
Oops, before I could hit post - Now there's a group of about six people. A Presidential viewing must be the hot ticket in town. Leave the bar, fill your belly at the Waffle House, then stop by and look at a President's flag-draped casket, deep in the middle of the night.
