Bush also has done much of his presidential duties from his ranch in Crawford, Texas. As of August 4, 2005 he recorded his 51st visit, accruing 325 days away from the White House, nearly reaching Reagan's eight-year record of 335 days in 5.5 years[38]. Critics contend that he takes more vacation than any president in history, but officials respond that his longest visit to Crawford, in August 2005, included only one week of actual vacation in the five-week visit.

If by "duty", they refer to a bowel movement...

Interesting...I made an assumption based on our (Atlantic) inshore waters always being warmer due to volume, coastal barriers , etc. ..what makes the Gulf's inshore water cooler? You can pluck some water temps from the buoy data links I posted above.
I just saw this effect again on CNN. Seems that there are some dramatically cooler waters near the shore. This surpises the hell out of me too.
