President Bush spent the day in
North Carolina
Traveling with the president were Press Secretary Tony Snow and Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings
After arriving in Greensboro, NC, the president enjoyed a barbeque lunch at Stamey’s Restaurant, then visited nearby Waldo C. Falkener Elementary School where he spoke about the No Child Left Behind initiative.
Later, President Bush traveled a few miles further south to visit The Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, NC, then on to speak at a private GOP fundraiser.
Enjoy your Wednesday visit to Sanity Island 
it's the BEST barbeque you can find!
It really is (unappealing as it looks :-p)
toaster...toaster...we won a toaster!
Oh that makes me feel a little better. Then that's NOT bar-b-que on that plate? Even so it's still unappetizing looking IMO.
Thanks for reminding me again that he is on BOR. I must try to watch this one for sure.
Thanks for all the interesting links you have provided.
Next time you're down this way, check out the BBQ at Gary's in China Grove, NC....His is good too.
Great photo of the day, Jonny. He loves kids AND fishing so no wonder he has such a big smile on his face! :D
i didn't get a thing in this post
There's some video available from the local news sites, but they're murder on dial-up.
Thanks :)
This President is the greatest person in the world. So sincere, refreshing and interested in what he does. I just absolutely love and adore this man.
Yeah.......MAKE MY DAY!
Welcome :)
***And you wrote some time ago that you wanted a wood stove for emergncies like this. Good thing you had it ready. It would have been a lot more uncomfortable for you if you had not had it ready. What a storm!***
Yes, it was, Tom. There were six thousand elec. poles down, plus thousands and thousands and thousands of individual lines. I have to say that the people in my town have been terrific about getting out there and removing large branches, etc. from the streets. And many people were running lines from their generators to neighbors whose sump pumps wouldn't work. And all over four counties, women were heard screaming, "I want my vacuum cleaner back."
i really don't know if it's bar-b-cue, but to me bar-b-cue is reddish. Could be. if so, looks like WHITISH-GRAY barbcue.
It did look pretty gross, didn't it? But I love hushpuppies and barbecue.
Thanks, Snugs :) Only you and the other hosts would understand ...
After W's visit, I doubt there'll be an empty chair at Stamey's for a while :)
that's what I thought, but now that I think back to the few times I've had pork bar-b-que, I do remember some of it was "pork" color.
