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

So, since you are still here, what is it that you don't like about Tony Snow? Be specific...no generic "He's a RINO" answers are acceptable.

The Victory Junction Gang Camp enriches the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound environment.


President George W. Bush enjoys a moment with NASCAR racing champion Richard Petty during a visit Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006, to the Victory Junction Gang Camp, Inc., in Randleman, N.C. The center was founded by Petty's son, Kyle, and Kyle's wife, Pattie, in memory of their son, Adam, a fourth-generation NASCAR driver killed during practice in 2000.

The motto of the camp is “Feel Your Heart Race”

I concur and I do not have a clue what it is - it looks like either sort of dip or a very insipid mince mixture.

President Bush jokes with reporters before participating in a tire changing activity with campers during a visit to Victory Junction Gang Camp, a center for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses, in Randleman, N.C., Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006



President Bush stands with Paul 'Pauly' Rader, 9, right, who suffers from a brain tumor, and Will 'Cheese' Kwapil, 12, second from left, who has a congenital heart defect, during a visit to Victory Junction Gang Camp. Also pictured are Pattie Petty, back left, wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty, back right.

The kids challenge the president to a tire changing duel ...


President Bush reacts after losing the challenge :)

Oh, Jonny! These first four pictures are grand! The fishing picture is gorgeous. I think it is a bit of an unusual pose/look for GWB. I love it! I hope this boy's parents get this photo.

Then there is GWB peeking around the column--followed by one of my favorite people--Tony Snow. How fun. I don't even need to look at the rest of the Dose tonight! I will, however, later. :) Have to run and check my daughter's grammar workbook before bed. I will be back later tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you for your work! You do a fabulous job.

Jonny........THANK you for taking over during my 'sabbatical' from the Dose.

Today I got five choral arrangements submitted to a publishing company (one of the many 'extra' tasks I've got going), and I feel REAL good about that!

Still lots more to do and some family difficulties to deal with, but I REALLY appreciate your relieving me of this duty with such excellence!

The President looks AWESOME today! God bless this dear man!!
