“John—Thought you might find this interesting. The Home Depot where I work part time is had an unexpected visitor this week, Mrs. Laura Bush. She came in to do some shopping. No reporters, no TV cameras, just her and her security detail. Unfortunately I wasn’t there to meet her (dammit!). At first I didn’t believe it, but the photos of her with my co-workers proved otherwise. According to my co-workers who did meet her, they said that she was very warm and gracious. Even one of the die-hard Democrats in the store described her as ‘classy’. And typical for Home Depot, we didn’t have what she waslooking for.”

[Derb] I would have thought the Bushes were more Lowe’s people, but hey. Has anyone ever heard an unkind word spoken about Laura? I don’t think I have.
