Thats a beautiful garden. The pergola looks exactly like mine that my brother made for me, except mine is all but hidden by kiwi vines. I like the use of the boulders in the garden too.

Dubya and babies and dogs. Doesn't get any better.

Like this dog?

Funny how I used to scold my sisters for kissing the dog.

The town has a very decent bus system for the midwest, but I don't think there's service on Sundays and after the 'rush minutes' in the evening. Also, there don't seem to be a lot of ways to get from town to town. So, it will be useful to have a car, even if I take the bus to campus.

I am looking forward to driving out to the Amana Colonies, which are nearby, and maybe, if I get brave, a little further away to the Laura Ingalls Wilder house and the Field of Dreams farm.

I hope you can find an apartment within walking distance or bicycle distance. Using a car to campus may be difficult because of lack of parking but as a faculty member you may have a convenient parking lot. I am sure you will find what is best way when you get there.

I feel corrupted by capitalism and Big Oil, but I'm learning to live with it.

*snort*

Our daughter and I visited some friends in Tokyo last summer, and I really enjoyed using the Metro there. Our friends didn't own a car, and had a 15 min. walk to two train stations going different places, and we were able to go literally anywhere in the city, or even out of it from the main station, Shinjuku. I don't know if I'd want to have to walk 15 minutes each way every day, all the time, but it was actually good for me! I lost 10 pounds over the 10 days we were there, simply from the activity. Of course I gained it back when we got back home and I went back to my sedentary ways, but I know what's good for me, now!

"...Dubya isn't obsessed with flashing a big toothy grin at everything that resembles a camera. You can tell by the way he looks at people that he's thinking about them..."

Amen!

Wow. Thanks for posting such awesome pics. Hard to believe that a third of Americans think the Prez let 9/11 happen when (as a parent) I can see the love this man and his wife have for kids. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks again.

I was so touched when I first saw this photo of Bush and the Ground Zero search dog. So many have forgotten so much about that day...I wonder how many remember
those magnificent dogs.

Even though she's gone now, Spotty is my favorite of the Bush dogs. She was born in 1989, in the same year, but a few months before my beloved Annabelle and Wolfie. Spotty died early in 2004. The President and First Lady lovingly put her down because she was having seizures. My Wolfie died February 2004. Annabelle died the following year. I held her in my arms while the vet put her down. She had been having seizures.

So, in a very small, yet personally significant way, I have something in common with the first couple.

You're welcome, Jodi. That third of Americans are Leftists/Dems who WANT to believe the worst about this man just because he's a Republican who actively practices his Christian faith. They know the truth. They just willfully ignore it due to their own stupidity, hate and inability to put the nation's welfare above their own ambitions.

I sure as heck do, and so do many, if not most dog lovers. The Ground Zero rescue dogs were honored by the AKC at Westminister Dog Show the February after the attacks. Ever since, AKC has continued to honor service dogs at Westminister. I'm no big fan of AKC, but I do applaud them for continuing to honor service dogs in our post-9/11 era.

Oh, and BTW, Timeout, that GWB genuinely loves dogs is obvious with every photo of the President and a dog. Recently, on one of his trips to the border, the President visited with a K9 officer and his dog. The dog had a muzzle on and his body language was a little aggressive, if I recall. GWB did not back away or flinch. I don't save the news photos we post, but maybe snugs remembers that photo and might know where to get a copy for you, Timeout.

Hi :)

This is a wonderful theme you chose for the Dose. I think I have some photos I can contribute.
