The ceremony and remarks at the Arizona Capitol were very moving.
Yeah, I watched it from start to finish. Gov. Ducey was so right when he said Arizona is known to outsiders for two things- John McCain and the Grand Canyon. Arizona without McCain is like imagining Arizona without the Grand Canyon.
Jon Kyl spoke well and it was good to see Jeff Flake give Benediction. It was a wonderful ceremony. John would have liked it.
Cindy McCain was very poised. Meghan was not.
It was good to see McCain's first wife and their children there. Usually only the second group gets attention.
I am thinking of going to the Capitol building to pay respects, but I am hearing there are hundreds of people in line, and streets are closed. Will need to figure out how to get there. There is a free bus that goes from downtown to the Capitol. So may be. I am not high on waiting in line. I did it just once - stood in line at 6 am to get one of the limited seats- to see Obama speaking at a high school (I did not get in).
