We got another visit from President Bush today. It's really nice that he spent yesterday and today touring ruined orange groves and talking to hurricane victims rather than hanging out in Miami. I can only imagine that in Miami today there was a lot of nail buffing and eyebrow tweezing going in preparation for the big debate.
That the President has come down every time to see our troubles is going to win him this state come Election Day.
President Bush tours damage from Hurricane Jeanne at Mckenna Brothers orange groves in Lake Wales, Fla., Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2004. At right is Pat McKenna, the grove's owner. 'I know Florida's agricultural sector has been hit especially hard,' Bush said after inspecting orange groves devastated by three of the last four hurricanes.

Posted by: Donnah at October 1, 2004 11:41 AMWere you trying to say "Florida Evans", as in the character from the TV show? Actually, the actress that played her is from here in Broward.
Posted by: Donnah at October 1, 2004 11:51 AMGreat pictures!
Posted by: pam at October 1, 2004 12:51 PMYes. It was a terrible pun, which is why I followed it with hahahaha... Esther Rolle (Florida from Maude and Good Times) was what immediately hit me when I saw that photo.
All my comments can't be winners. You gotta take the dross with the cream.
