- From the White House press release:
-
- President Bush took a spill during a Saturday afternoon
bike ride on his ranch, suffering bruises and cuts that were visible later
on his face just two days before he was to deliver a major prime-time speech
on his Iraq policy.
-
- The president was nearing the end of a 17-mile ride on
his mountain bike, accompanied by a Secret Service agent, a military aide
and his personal physician, Richard Tubb, who treated him at the scene,
said White House spokesman Trent Duffy.
-
- "It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose,"
Duffy said. You know this president. He likes to go all-out. Suffice it
to say he wasn't whistling show tunes."
-
- Soooo... it's been raining a lot in Crawford, eh?
-
- Here are the recent precipitation levels from Crawford:
-

on the 14th, Crawford saw nothing but sun.
-
- In the last week alone, the temperature was in the high
80s the entire time.

22nd.
