Political Oinkers

From a family friend of ours:

President Bush gets off the helicopter in front of the White House, carrying a baby pig under each arm. The Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says, “Nice pigs, sir.” The President replies, “These are not pigs; these are authentic Texas razorback hogs. I got one for Vice
President Cheney, and I got one for Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.” The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and replies, “Nice trade, sir.”

I’ve long been looking for proof that there were pigs in office. Lo and behold, Bush provided the evidence his very own self!

Apartment Update

We got the apartment! It’s a top-floor apartment close to Capital Mall on Olympia’s west side, only a bus ride away from the College itself. I’m going down on September 3rd to complete my paperwork and secure the room — my roommate will be joining me later. I’m still figuring out furniture and stuff, but I think I may have it. I’m unsure.

The latest furniture research seems to suggest that both my bed and my desk may be an online purchase through Target, if we can figure out any way to do that in an efficient manner.
