Curious about GW's "Home Office"?
Here's a link to Google Map, with a nice satellite view of the humble vacation home.

Enjoy.

3. Yeah, It's a lot of fun...
to identify things on the ground. There's the big "whining pool", just to the "south" is, I think, the photo-op area, with a discreet bunch of trees hiding the line-of-sight to the big plantatio...uh, presidental residence. Move to the "west" and there's the helicopter hangar and landing area. Zoom out and check out the neighbors...they've all done their plowing, evidently.

Haven't spotted any animals yet. George must borrow them from the neighbors when he needs quick photo-op.

7. Now, here's what I want to know...
What's THIS place just to the west of "George's Don't-Drop Inn", just a little north of Gatesville?

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.487894,-97.704281&spn=0.006623,0.009917&t=h&hl=en

Looks like Dr. Evil's West-Texas Lair, but considering it's amazing resemblance to an Integrated Circuit, and how close it is to where George spends most of his time in office, I'm thinking it's the transmitter for the controller-module on George's back.

5. Could you help me?
I`m searching, searching for the hay bales corporate media use for their back drops. Oh, yeah....could you point out the quaint chainsaw shed? And where`s the old wooden wash tub where Laura rinses out the girls` thongs? Golly. It`s like a Norman Rockwell painting.

6. Here are some close up images.


When * puts his mind to it, he can really learn a lot.


Before jumping on his next bike, * works out with his peer group.


And here is our pResident on his next bike ride.

8. OK, now as near as I can tell...
Here's the house they do all the photo-ops in front of:






Here's one with a local politician.



Now, as near as I can tell, this house is actually quite a ways away from the real residence:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%2B31.571260,-97.535854&spn=0.006522,0.007960&t=h&hl=en

It's the little white house with the round thing in the backyard.

Now, I can understand not wanting to have those grubby reporters anywhere NEAR his vacation hut, but...




PS: Here's after he's finished clearing all the brush:

15. Yes I see what you mean
The silvery triangle area to the right of the chickenHawk's compound -- doesn't look like water to me -- and the silvery area to the left bottom.

Let's hope that he is very well guarded and protected -- because if anything happens to him -- all HELL will break loose. Besides I want him to KNOW that he is an absolute failure at absolutely everything he has done in his life.

10. Secret Service, Homeland Security blah blah blah and no one thought
to censor this? I think I have a gut busting laugh coming on.
Secret Service got all the access roads covered? No people within five miles. No cameras.
Leave the protestors in your SUV dust. That about covers it I guess. :rofl:

21. You're in for a real treat...
I was able to find a home video of Shrub's current vacation. It's not the best quality, and it is quite short.

The first scenes are of Junior and a guest clearing out more brush. Then, we see another unidentified guest
chowing down at one of Dubya's popular Texas barbecues. (Might be Mama Babs, can't tell for sure.)

The last scene has Dubya taking an evening stroll. Must be a bit chilly, since he has donned his jacket.
Oops! Be careful out there Mr. pResident, you could fall down and scrape up your face.

Enjoy! You're welcome. :hi:

Dubya Down Home
