President and Mrs. Bush continue their stay at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. Today's activities, per Tony Snow, included: "The President this morning received his briefings from his national security team. He did have a bike ride. He has had a private lunch. I don't know who it's with, because it's none of my business. And he has also been talking on the phones today with the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State."

Text of Tony Snow's press briefing today. It includes a lot of information on a variety of issues, particularly the numerous, serious international events in play right now.

Dose going up. As there are no new photos of the president (as of yet today anyway), please feel free to post some of your own favorites.

It's been a Barney drought so I retrieved some of these from the White Hosue archives.

Hey, I love the photo of the dog in the truck. When I go downstairs where the car is, our puppy follows and hops in the car in the driver's seat. She loves to go places and it is funny to think she wants in the driver's seat!
