Bush spent part of the day with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, although the governor wasn't always able to keep up with the brisk pace Bush set on his morning laps around the pine-studded grounds.

I'm sure we will hear all about it from grammar-challenged Crazy Cindy tomorrow. It's not like there is anything important going on in her family that she needs to attend to.

I want to see record setting Rainbow Trout fryin' in the pan!
It's what we ALL dream about!

Good for you Mr. President. If you can get at least 2 days of down time this month i'd be surprised.

They get them from various places like the WH web site and Yahoo, and some post from collections of photos that they have. It's a pretty neat thread, posted by some pretty awesome people.
