he is a serious and intelligent man. He is also a man with a moral core who will weigh his decisions carefully

What a wonderful read! This is so refreshing after the constant carping about "the month long vacation", etc.

A bit of local flavor for you -- U.S. Highway 84 runs East/West through McLennan County. You take it west to McGregor and turn right at the stoplight to get to Crawford. The highway has been renamed "George W. Bush Parkway" through Waco, Woodway and McGregor by overwhelming consensus of the city governments. No waiting around here to honor this fine man.

"...to Crawford continues on past the town until we come to the ranch where the afternoon's activities are scheduled to take place. It is not the Bush ranch itself but a neighbor's. One might guess the owner is a veteran from the arch over the entrance to his driveway. Over a trio of wagon wheels adorning the arch is the metal sculpture of a Huey helicopter, widely used in the Vietnam War...."

Texas State Troopers guard outside the "Broken Spoke" ranch entrance, near Crawford, Texas, where President Bush meets privately with Republican donors, Friday, Aug. 16, 2002. Eighteen months after he entered the White House, President Bush threw a party for the hundreds of people whose efforts helped raise a record $100 million as he hurtled through the 2000 primary season. The gathering at the ranch near Bush's own 1,600-acre spread is a thank you with an eye on the present and future as well as the past.(AP Photo/Ken Lambert)

Do you have to throw a few coins every so often as you negoiate the Pkwy? I have traveled the "George H. W. Bush Parkway" in Dallas and you need to have a few coins at the ready... Maybe Parkway traveling in the country is a little less expensive.....
