I apologize for the poor quality of this image, but it was such an amazing moment I simply had to post it.

I was in the kitchen getting coffee when I suddenly heard some huge noise coming from the TV, which was showing Senator John McCain’s casket being carried up the stairs to the US Capitol.

It was a torrential downpour that started at that very moment, here as well as there, and even though I’m located only 11 blocks from the Capitol, I could see blue sky.

I don’t subscribe to “signs,” but it seemed as though the nation was weeping for Senator McCain, a sentiment interestingly echoed by a CNN commentator.

The rain stopped as soon as he was brought into the Rotunda, and it’s sunny again.
