I think I just heard the 20th century end

That was me driving down 24th St. in Noe Valley, honking my horn and yelling out the window "Reagan's dead!!" I went to the cat food store, walked in and announced "Reagan's dead!" The people inside gave nonplussed looks. "And on that note," I added, "I need a cat poop scooper."

By 3:00 p.m., two hours after the announcement, ABC TV already had a logo up, so I think they won that one. One good thing about the reverential television coverage: they show Reagan getting shot over and over. Second good thing: Relief from endless D-Day footage.
