In about an hour it will be 46 years to the minute since John F. Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade drove by Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
I was at Dealey Plaza for the 40th Anniversary, along with thousands of others.
It was a sober, sort of macabre, experience. The moment of silence and countdown to when the shots were fired was disturbed by the arrival of Dallas police in full riot gear. I have never learned why that happened. The police quickly backed off when it was apparent there was no riot.
And then the moment arrived, suddenly the mournful sound of a lone bugle filled the air.
Go here and watch the video I made of what I saw on this day, 6 years ago. Or watch it below...

I was at the 40th. Also went last year. There weren't the hordes of conspiracy nutters there last year.
A Dallas comedian named Buffalo George years ago would drop empty rifle shell casings around the grassy knoll area for conspiracy enthusiasts* to find. He would do it just before the anniversary date each year.
