This doesn't happen every day

2008.05.05
Everyone's gathered in the middle of downtown Zebulon...waiting, and waiting, and waiting. The guest of honor was an hour late arriving, but no one seemed to mind.

"Hey, y'all! I'm here!"

"Have you tried that new barbecue place down the road? Mmmm, that's some tasty food right there!"

"Seriously. I'm talking goooood food here."

"In fact, I think I still have some stuck in my teeth."

"I did not....have cole slaw....with that barbecue sandwich."

I live in Zebulon, North Carolina, a small town with a population around 5,000 people - and growing. Not the kind of booming metropolis where you expect to find a former President hanging out.

Former President Bill Clinton came to town today. No matter what your politics are, it's a very special occasion to have him visit. He was late arriving, and I didn't stay around too long for his speech, but I got what I came for - documentation of the day a President came to town. :)

Leighann heh. Both Hilary and Barack were here in Evansville today. I had no chance to get away from work and observe either, dammit. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna be at the polls at 0'Dark Hundred tomorrow though.
...and when Bubba was stumping for his second term?? The closest he got to here was a completely famous bar-b-que shack down the road a piece in Owensboro, Ky. You nailed him dead-on Lissa. lol

BreezyOnTheEyes very cool! i love that you caught the food talk, it was probably just as well to document the humanistic side before the politics turned on!!

LastFrontier Your commentary is a hoot, and sounds just perfect. Subtle with that punctuation surrounding the famous cole-slaw incident. Great shots!

diblanka that's for sure!
