A day in the life of President Bush (8/4/05): photos

President George W Bush welcomes Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe to his ranch in Texas, they went for a drive, held a private meeting, and then held a joint press conference. After lunch they spent the afternoon discussing regional security and diplomatic issues.

Further background can be found at President Alvaro visits Crawford

Vice President Dick Cheney is leading a delegation to Saudi Arabia to pay respects to King Fahd (no photos or report to be found almost as if there is a media black out on this). This is strange in 2 respects one no photos and that all reports seem to indicate that all other countries sent people the previous day to the Memorial Service.

Yesterday Secretary of State paid her respects to the late Saudi King Fahd by signing the Book of Condolence in the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington.

New U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton in his Security Council debut, pressed Syria and Iran to do more to stem the flow of terrorists, arms and funding into neighboring Iraq

Just noticed that donut maker is from Argos that is what we call a catalogue shop.

They have catalogues that you browse through make note of the number take the number to the counter and pay and then go to a collection point in the store to collect the goods. Do you have them in the States?

They do display a selection of their goods and special offers but mainly you only see the product in the catalogue before purchase hence apart from ear rings there is a no reason 14 day return policy.

Yes .. there was a chain of stores called Service Merchandise like that .... I believe they went out of business, however.

And more

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld (right) tours the set of the television series CSI: New York with actor Gary Sinese (left) during a visit to Los Angeles CBS studios on Aug. 4, 2005. Rumsfeld visited the CSI set to thank Sinise personally for his support of the "America Supports You" program through his "Operation Iraqi Children" effort. Sinise co-founded Operation Iraqi Children with Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand in March 2004. The organization collects and ships school supplies and toys to Iraq for distribution by U.S. troops, providing much-needed materials for Iraqi children while boosting the morale of the service members who pass them out.

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld answers questions from the audience at the Air Force Sergeants Association's 42nd annual international convention in Dallas, Texas, on Aug. 2, 2005. Rumsfeld earlier expressed his gratitude to Air Force personnel worldwide for their outstanding job in fighting the war on terror. DoD photo by Tech. Sgt. Kevin J. Gruenwald, U.S. Air Force.

I was looking for some figs in the story yesterday. I just got back from two weeks in Japan with our daughter, and while there I had Fig Pound Cake for dessert one night. It was scrumptious, and I'd love to try to make some!

Could VP Cheney be steadying the newly crowned King?

It's possible he needs te help of friends to walk, since he is the half brother of Fahd and probably close to the same age.

LOL .. it appears so, and he could be barefoot and in wrinkled overalls, and I'd still think he was AWESOME!

Those that our daughter and I picked were so good. Before we left, we went out to look at my trees. One is loaded and we just planted it this year. Need to go back out there and see if any are ripe. You know, we should really appreciate living in this country. We can grow just about anything. I remember reading in one of Dale Evans books about their daughter who was born in England. When she got to California, she went out and got all of the oranges she could handle. Dale said she had never seen a child eat so many oranges! She had been allowed to have 1 a week if she were lucky where she lived. Ok! Enough of my soap box.

We had a fig tree in our back yard when I was growing up in S. MS! My Mama used to preserve figs every year. I didn't like them then, but I love fig preserves now. Go figure!

I wondered that but then I remembered I had seen a clip of the group walking together and he seemed fairly steady on his pins.

Remembering when he visited the Ranch and other photos taken elsewhere with President Bush holding his hand or arm I think it is middle east/Saudi protocol that the 2 heads of state do that. In this case VP us representing the President in this capacity hence that type of greeting albeit briefly.
