As part of Cranelegs' never ending search for the truth about the world around us, I was able to get a few unprecedented moments with President Bush--alone. I got right to the questions you have on your minds and heard first-hand from the leader of the free world. I think you'll find the President's frankness and openness refreshing during this no-holds-barred interview.
(08/31/2006, 07:23 AM: complete unedited transcript: White House Gym locker room)
Cranelegs: So Mr. President, first I'd like to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to speak with me.
Mr. President: Just taking a break from the treadmill. Caught me at a good time. Hope ya don't mind the sweat. Heh! Heh!
Cranelegs: Not at all sir. Again thanks. Let me start by asking, have you heard of Cranelegs?
Mr. President: Can't say I have. Good name for ya though, with those pretzels for calves you have. Heh! Heh!
Cranelegs: You are quick Mr. President.
Mr. President: Call me Dubya. I love nicknames when no one's around.
Cranelegs: Okay, Dubya. Anyway, that is how I got my nickname, my skinny legs.
Dubya: Yeah, I can see that. I would have called you Stick Boy, but Cranelegs is good.
Cranelegs: So, Cranelegs is my website. It's a site for humor. Maybe not right now, but usually. You know, poking fun at stuff.
Dubya: Yeah, well ya came to the right place then. Heh! Heh!
Cranelegs: So let's see. One of my regular visitors wants to know what's your favorite barbeque?
Dubya: Favorite barbeque? Yeah. Um ... pig on a rotis-ree, slow cooked over mesquite coals. Sometimes I imagine it's Osama with a big ole apple in his mouth. Yeah, I look forward to that day--think that'll require a little extra hot sauce on the side. Yeah.
Cranelegs: Well speaking of Osama, do you have any idea when that day may come?
Dubya: When that day will come? Yeah ... um ... September 11th, 2008, two months before the big election. There will be one heck of a barbeque at the ranch. Might even invite that Campfire Girl lady who's been settin' tents outside the ranch there.
Cranelegs: Ya mean Cindy Sheehan?
Dubya: That her name? Seems like a good cause. Campfire girls.
Cranelegs: She's protesting the war. She lost a son.
Dubya: No, that's just the liberal press. Rovey told me she is looking for contributions for the campfire girls. She's on our side. Good Christian woman, even Methodist, I've been told.
Cranelegs: Ya might want to check that out.
Dubya: No need to, Rovey's been doin' a good job. Yeah, 9/11/2008, we plan to have Too Tall all skewered up and basted in bacon fat. Pork Chop's already dieting in preparation so he can partake.
Cranelegs: Too Tall? Pork Chop, sir?
Dubya: Bin Laden and Cheney.
Cranelegs: I don't understand. How can you be so sure of the date you'll have him?
Dubya: It's all part of a classified plan, even if it requires a look-a-like--a double. Already have three candidates in Gitmo as we speak. Ah, I can smell the sweet mesquite smoke now. Makes ya kind of hungry.
Cranelegs: But sir isn't that a little underhanded?
Dubya: I understand that. Good people thinkin' that's underhanded. Makin' a political thing out of it. I understand. But they would be wrong minded. Ya see, the American people need to be safe. Ya can't leave that up to the Democrats. We'll make ya safe even if we have to make it up. Cause people are frightened.
Cranelegs: But Dubya, aren't you guys the ones that scared us in the first place?
Dubya: Not me! I think you're talkin' about Cheney and Rumsfeld. Hell, those boys scare me. Some of the bedtime stories Pork Chop reads me are bone chillin'. I mean, the American people know that our troops are the bravest!

There are many resources to find West Virginia vacation cabins and getaways on the internet. However, what you see on the internet is not always what you get. Just because a cabin is in West Virginia does not mean that it is always secluded and will offer you the almost heaven experience you are hoping to enjoy.
Within this article I hope to give you some good advice on how to choose your West Virginia Vacation cabin.
Some important points to consider
* Availability (when is the peak season) * Where are the best locations to spend your vacation? * Where you can get the best cabin package for the money
Vacation Cabin Availability
The peak seasons for vacationing in West Virginia may not be the seasons that you suspect. Winter time in West Virginia offers a host of outdoor activities that attracts locals and visitors to certain coveted destinations. Snowshoe Ski Resort, Winterplace and Canaan Valley are certain to be booked during the winter months. So make certain that you prepare ahead of time and reserve a cabin several months prior to your trip.
Fall foliage is a major attraction in West Virginia. The vibrant colors that explode from the mountains are some of not the best in America. So be prepared around the end of September till the middle of October to run into cabins that are already booked. Later in the fall you will see that the reservations are not as full as most of the foliage has dropped to the ground and folks are getting ready for the winter season.
In the heat of summer you will find that folks love to get away to shady retreats while school is out, especially in the early months of summer such as June and July. Even though this is one of the most pleasant times to visit the lush forests of West Virginia it is also one of the most dangerous times for poisonous snakes such as the copperhead and rattlesnakes that inhabit the rocks and leaves throughout the woods.
One of the best times to visit the mountains and forests of West Virginia and to rent a vacation cabin is in middle to late spring. This is a wonderful time of the year, if you can get away. During this season you will be able to enjoy serenity, peace and quiet in a spectacular display of wild flowers and foliage that comes to life after the winter months. White Dogwood trees, Rhododendrons, Wild Azaleas and other wonderful colors of nature give nature lovers and outdoorsmen a very beautiful environment for relaxation.
Spring may be a little cool in West Virginia so make certain that you plan accordingly and bring some warmer clothes. Heavy winter Jackets are usually too much and can be too hot, but it is good to have one in case the occasional snow storm comes up unexpectedly. A thinner insulated wind breaker is very comfortable to wear when hiking and does not burden you down when going for longer treks.
Where are the best vacation cabin locations for your vacation in West Virginia?
One of the most frustrating things that can happen to the vacationer is to plan your vacation ahead of time, get everything in order for you to leave, and plan the best time of year to go and then once you get there; you realize that it was not at all what you thought it was.
West Virginia is by far one of the most beautiful states in our country. However, just like any other place there are good areas and bad areas that I would not want to visit unless I absolutely had to. It is critical to your vacation planning, to research the destination and surrounding environment so that you can get the most out of you time and have a good experience; that way you will want to come back.
I highly recommend that you do at least these three things to research your destination.
1. Search the internet about the area
There are bound to be at least half a dozen websites that expound on your destination. It does not hurt to post a message or two in a message board to gain other peoples perspectives.
2. Try to find pictures of the area during the season that you are planning to visit.
It is not good to see an area with wonderful winter snow or colorful fall leaves if you are planning to visit in the spring. So try to find a website that will give you a good idea of what the entire environment is like.
3. Purchase a local State Map
If you can find somewhere that sells a detailed WV state map. This map will include rural roads as well as all the national and state parks. This gives you a very comprehensive guide to the area and can really help you if you are lost. In addition to a state map I do highly recommend the purchase and use of a GPS system. This can save you time and gas money when searching for your favorite state park which often is very remote.

Denver Real Estate Investment
Denver is the capital of Colorado, lying east of the Rocky Mountains Front Range, at an elevation of 5,280 feet. The population was around 598,700 in 2008. The city sprawls in an area of 401.3 square kilometers. Denver was established as a mining town in 1858 when the Pikes Peak Gold Rush created history in western Kansas. The city is located in a 'bowl' and hence is protected from strong winds and severe cold. The climate is semi-arid. Denver City and County possesses 79 neighborhoods. The city has a varying character, with houses from the beginning of the twentieth century lying alongside suburban style, modern development areas and large skyscrapers. The older brick buildings are denser in the city center, while the neighborhoods away from the center contain modern structures.
Denver is a growing metropolis. The Denver real estate scene is quite attractive. The office buildings, restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment venues are situated in downtown of Denver. This area is a thriving one but also safe and clean. The heart of downtown offers condominiums, lofts, town homes, and single-family homes for aspiring home buyers. Cherry Creek, Crestmoor, Belcaro, Bonnie Brae, Hilltop, Washington Park, Denver Country Club, and Polo Club are highly exclusive communities around downtown. Prices of condominiums and homes in this area are priced around $400 to $500 per square foot.
If you prefer a lifestyle of high-rise condominium, LoDo, near the Coors Field area, is the best one. Other areas near LoDo are Curtis Park, Highlands, Riverfront, and Golden Triangle. They are also developing rapidly and offer ample scope for developers to plan neighborhoods and homes. Curtis Park and Highlands are witnessing the renovation of old historic houses. Apart from Golden Triangle, Baker, Regis, and City Park are also undergoing renovations.
Cherry Hills and Greenwood Village are among the affluent suburbs in south Denver. Cherry Creek, Centennial, Aurora, Englewood, and Littleton are the other suburbs. All of them have lots of open space and very low crime rate. However, the biggest attraction for people relocating to Denver is Highlands Ranch, the largest planned community area in Denver. This neighborhood lies between Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The community is a mixture of suburban neighborhoods and rural sections and is an ideal place for Denver homes for sale.
The suburbs of Lakewood and Westminster lie in the west of Denver. This area is a combination of old homes and new construction. The nearby foothills have the suburbs of Morrison, Evergreen, and Conifer. These could be termed as mountain communities, with excellent views, golf courses, trails, and gravel roads. The northern suburbs include Broomfield, Louisville, Boulder, and Lafayette, with housing and shopping opportunities. Another area with old and new structures abounding side by side contains the communities of Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City, and Brighton.
