Former President George H.W. Bush popped in to Three Li'l Pigs Barbecue in Daleville Tuesday for lunch.
If it weren't for the lawful driving of a Roanoke County animal control officer on Interstate 581 and the 10 trucks that occupied the two northbound lanes of I-81, I might have been able to see him.
But the animal control truck rolled along at a glacial 58 mph and everyone else stayed timidly behind, owing to the red and blue lights atop the cab.
Then, the tractor-trailers on I-81 north not only blocked the passing lane but also the view of vehicles headed south. If any had looked presidential enough, I'd have pulled an unauthorized U-turn in the median and started a controlled pursuit.
How long could a former president, age 82, go without visiting a rest stop after downing an Amstel Light with his vinegar pork barbecue sandwich and onion straws meal?
And how often do we see someone so famous?
