The following photos may not necessarily be the best photos or the most important but they are chosen because they appeal to me and hopefully to you as well. It maybe because of the content, the expression on the face(s) or just an unusual photo.
As there are so many photos I have split this thread into 2 the first one was January - June and this one, the second one July - December 2007
As with the normal Day in the Life Thread I would request that photos are not posted until the all clear so that we have a chronology series of photos.
Enjoy your bonus visit to Sanity Island

Q I'm counting your days here, too -- 35.
Q Are you watching any baseball?

Q Is it over? Did they win today, too?
Q I think they won today, too.
Q But the Yankees lost.
PRESIDENT BUSH: They did?
