A Day in the Life of President Bush (First Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—many photos): 8-29-06
www.yahoo.com ^ | 8-29-06

Posted on 08/29/2006 5:03:09 PM PDT by silent_jonny

Today In New Orleans, President Bush Discussed The Lessons Our Nation Has Learned Since Katrina, The Work That Has Been Done, And The Many Challenges That Still Lie Ahead. One year ago today, Southeast Louisiana was struck by a cruel hurricane and flooding on a massive scale.

The President has returned to New Orleans to reiterate his commitment and to report what the Federal government is doing to make good on its promises.

However, the one-year anniversary is not the finish line, and many challenges still remain.

I suspect it's that your memory is THAT good

*tapping my noggin* A steel trap, it is ;)

And I remembered you posted the lyrics to Fats' "Walking To New Orleans"--the words took on new meaning when we thought he was gone. It's great to see him alive and well--AND in front of his own home again.

"The" bowing head in prayer shot is wonder- filled!

Indeed it is!

I was lucky to find it too. I typed "Laura Bush" into the Yahoo photo search and that turned up several pics from the service that I didn't find elsewhere.

Laid a bit of concrete today---felt VERY DIY, myself. Hubby and I put down the first step in our, "out of the patio door" project. I can totally relate to when W likes to chainsaw a few trees to clear the land on the Ranch. Rrrrrrh, it feels good ;-)
