Belated thanks for your info above, LUV W! Rush deserves an annual vacation. Can't really fault him for that.
I agree with you about Rush's subs. I do like Mark Steyn and some of the others *for awhile*, but you're so correct about them being too glib by half, and trying too hard to be "funny". Gets really tiring...
Hope you had a good time in Maine. I would LOVE to go up there again!
Yes, it was wonderful... and we were SO lucky to have a sunny, dry week! Overly hot and humid a couple days... surprising even for Maine.
I remember you had that great story about being very close to the Bush Compound at Walker's Point in Kennebunkport. And you saw Barbara Bush and some of the family up close?
I think I told you that -- through binoculars, several years ago -- we saw Barbara outside in a slip and housecoat (!), right out in front, watering her flowers. She looked like any ordinary elderly lady out there. May she RIP.
LOTS of activity on the Bush compound while we were up there. Saw nice cars with Texas plates going in and out of the compound constantly. We *may* have seen Dubya and/or Jeb out playing fetch with 2-3 dogs on the front lawn. Darn, we forgot the binoculars, so I can't verify that. ;-)
It sounds like a wonderful trip and I’m glad you go to take it. Maybe you DID see Dubya! Did you wave, just in case? Glad you had good weather! Another FReeper has been up there from Texas and she was wishing she’d brought her long johns. LOL!
