IG, I had to look up Plinking. :-) Have a great time in Wisconson!
Btw, there's no way President Bush did anything illegal. Nevermind that algore would have used whatever scrap of bad he could have found, Barbara Bush would never stand for such behavior. Ha!
I know. Those 2 doggies would crack me up. I asked Mr. T once about this Marine detail. He said, that this is their job. To guard our President. They take their job very seriously. I guess, if someone told us, the Guild, to guard the White House and the first family, we'd take it seriously. Keep in mind, the Marines are the only ones who guard the White House and the President. There are other branches of the military there, but only Marines do this job. Go Marines! He he he he, I know, I know, I'm a Marine wife of 13 years.
One of our best trips was a week spent on the Canal du Midi with Mrs. lodwick's sister, dh, two kids, and one poochie. We piloted our own boat at whatever rate, or non-rate of travel we wished, navigated several locks, ate wonderful French meals in quaint restaurants, purchased locally produced wines for a buck and a half a gallon, and generally had a ball.
This is THE most repeatable vacation ever for us.

Maybe Woody can help.
WHAT A DRAG: Woody, we hardly knew ye. Woody Harrelson gets in touch with his feminine side in his role as a drag queen on the New York set of the comedy Anger Management costarring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. (Steve Sands Photo/New York Newswire)
Dear, dear Woody... I wonder if he asked anyone if his ensemble makes his butt look big. I guess we should be grateful that isn't Jack Nicholson wearing the dress instead.
When Hubby was stationed in Monterey Ca. He attended college there. I would go to the co-ed Navy Gym. Me and the other Marine wives would work out together and then hit the sauna, together, LOL. One day, me and my friend were in the sauna. There were two Navy guys there. They started telling us they had just finished White House duty with the toons, and Chelsea. They told us stories only people who were there would know. Like the time they called for a car to come and pick up Chelsea to take her somewhere. This Navy guy pulls up in a White House car. Chelsea says, "Oh NO! I can't ride with you. My mommie told me NEVER to ride with any Military people."
No lie! Or like the time the Toons were having a lawn party. Their wasn't enough servers, so the toons ordered the Military guest to serve drinks to the other guest. Like the generals and such. Of course this did not go over well. Did you know that Hillary actually was going to have the military NOT wear their uniforms in the White House? That idea was shot down quickly.
Funny about Chels being told not to get in the car with anyone military. Perhaps they would have preferred one of their friends of upstanding moral character, like Larry Flynt to take her where she wanted to go.
About the "No uniforms." My sister-in-law's baby brother was in the Army stationed in the White House kitchen, as a cook. She was asking her siblings to donate money to get her brother a suit. That's how I found out about the "No uniforms" in the White House. My sister-in-law called us and asked us if this was policy. After that, I heard it about it on the news and the idea was shot down. This poor kid was a Private living on base, maybe making 800 dollars a month. A suit??? Oh yeah right!
I guess we should be grateful that isn't Jack Nicholson wearing the dress instead.
Man, I'm sure that Jack has some knarly legs. Eewwwwww, glad that lunch was two hours ago! :-)
Apologies up for both these losers.
