The Prez is on his way back to WH from Cam DAvid,,that is why the delay.

The report on NBC said President Bush was traveling back via car. Why not fly? What's the weather like in the DC area?

Even though they've "ruled out terrorism". They're not gonna take any chances with the Pres. ABC just talked to a man in St. Augustine County, Texas. Said he's got pieces of aluminum in his yard from the crash

The weather in DC is foggy... also thought maybe a motorcade might be safer... precaution and all that???

It's misting here, light rain. Nothing anywhere near serious enough to warrant grounding helicopters.

Remember that Blair allegedly met Bush at the White House yesterday, rather than at Camp David, as planned, because of the weather. The weather then wasn't that bad either, I thought.

I suspect security reasons which they won't publicize. There have been strange searches in the Catoctin Mountains, near Camp David, the past week or two. The excuse then has been that it's connected to the anthrax investigation.
