It was starting to rain harder, my gal pointed across the street, so I ran over up close, focused and took the pic. I imagine that someone was speaking in memory of Reagan and made a warm but humorous comment. Hence the smiles. I love the large woman in her mourning clothes. She wasn't the only person so dressed. I presume the sour face of the woman next to her is due to some ideological displeasure with the comment. There were camera crews all over. I just presumed these were some fellows without passes to get into the Cathedral itself. But I'm just guessing :-) Thanks for looking.
