Years ago I went up to Andrews to fish the pond at the end of the runway. This was when the volcano in Iceland was erupting. Obama was scheduled to fly to Poland for a state funeral. Once his plans changed, he went golfing instead.
So I'm about to launch my boat. I see 2 guys walking over in my direction. I thought they wanted to talk about the boat or fishing. Instead the guys tells me that I can't launch my boat. At the same time he produces a badge and says he's special K so & so. Him and his buddy are dressed like 2 LL Bean catalog models. Guys with outdoor gear on that don't like to step off the asphalt. I inquire why, and they explain Obama is on the links and due to security, the lake is temporarily off limits.
Bummer. I ask how long it will be shut down. They say it will be a while. Then they overshare about how he's a ####ty golfer and takes forever. I look across the lake and see 4 guys spread out equidistant from each other. Trying to not look conspicuous, they couldn't be any more out of place.
A while later a bunch of suburbans blast past and I finally drop the boat into the lake. I never did see the prez but I really wasn't looking very hard to see him.
