How ah spent muh summer vacation

Right after getting the Aug. 6 PDB, Bunnypants went outside to play
On August 6, 2001, reports Newsday, "It was a classic dog day of summer in Crawford, Texas. Despite the 100-degree temperature on Aug. 6, 2001, pResident George W. Bush laced up his running shoes to go for a four-mile jog, roamed his sprawling ranch and fished a pond for bass. Bush was on a working vacation, about as close to a real vacation as presidents get. On that day, after a dusty morning run, the president put on faded jeans with a big belt buckle, a short-sleeved, button-down shirt, cowboy boots to get down to work. He met with aides for 45 minutes. He took the call from Rice."
Did he then call the FBI, CIA, or organize a conference call to advisors? Nope. "Bush put on a white cowboy hat and drove his pickup to the canyons. He was building a nature walk."
