Yeah, but President W Bush didn't in 2002 cause he was in France. And Pres Obama is laying a wreath at a cemetery in Illinois.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

according to Snopes, Bush I never went to Arlington and Reagan missed a few, among others.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
imho, laying down a wreath somewhere is much the equivalent of wearing a flag pin. I'm more concerned about what he does, and does not do, in office, not how many symbolic gestures he makes.

Pres Obama is laying a wreath at a cemetery in Illinois.
That's what is driving me nuts about the Arlington kerfuffle. The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetary in Elwood, IL, is just as viable a cemetary as Arlington, if less wellknown.

Exactly. I am sure the families near the vast number of other National Cemeteries wouldn't mind having a president go to their ceremonies.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Changing the subject to Max --
Max got through the procedures okay, though his blood pressure was unacceptably low at one point. The vet wanted to keep him on oxygen and fluids overnight (largely because he had such a rough time recovering from last week's procedure), and he was doing fine. We visited him shortly after the procedure and again in the evening, and he was more like his normal self than we'd seen in quite a while. (Side effect of the lung wash -- the gunk gets cleared out of his lungs, at least for a few days.)
He showed a healthy appetite overnight, and he was headbutting for attention this morning. The vet expects to send him home this afternoon.
Thanks to all for the wishes.

Oh, I'm glad! Yay Max!

That is great to read, Fred. Continuing to send the kitty~ma.

Oh, hey P-C! I dug up my pictures from my trip to Budapest, if you want to see them (and anyone else who wants to really). [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My interview on Tuesday went pretty well, I think, but I won't know anything for certain until next week. It looks like they're interviewing three people for two job openings. Also, an interview that starts at 10 in the morning and ends at 5 in the evening is way too much interview.
Oh HELLS yes!
And for dinner, we went to an Indian restaurant where they knew the owner, and just told him "We need some vegan food," and got delicious dinner.
But was it GOOD Indian food? Don't go livin' somewhere without good Indian!
I'm glad its all going so well :)
