I got up this morning and went down to Town Lake to see Lady Bird Johnson's funeral cortege and pay my last respects to her. It was nice -- on a hillside just north of where MoPac crosses Town Lake, a group of about 50 or 60 people gathered, chatting quietly in the warm sun while they waited, then respectfully standing as the cortege went by. Many held Texas or U.S. flags and waved them in final salute. A few called out farewells. Someone in one of the family limousines stuck her hand out a tinted glass window and waved back.
Farewell, Lady Bird. I'll come see you at the ranch when everything's settled down.
