I find it really odd that they are taking Reagan's body all over the country. OK...well, not all over...but to a few places, to "lie in state", as processions of people go in (to where it happens to be) and walk past the coffin. I never did quite understand this process of mourning. It's gotta be just me...right?
Here's how my strange mind works...
1) Won't the body start getting ripe?
2) Is his body REALLY in that coffin? I'd have an almost uncontrollable urge to open it just to make sure!
3) If you can't see his body (like in a true "wake"), what satisfaction does looking at a coffin get you?
4) Do they (those in charge of "watching" the coffin) realize, this could be a golden opportunity for a terrorist strike?
I'd better stop...but I have a million questions! I know...I know...this confirms it! I'm a kook! Sokay...I know it! Anyone wanna take a stab at some answers for me?
