President Bush stops by the Habitat for Humanity work site in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans for a photo opportunity. Habitat for Humanity is now constructing 75 new homes on this site. (Carolyn Cole / LAT) (Emphasis added.)



Amish volunteers Melvin Stoltzfus, Aaron Esh and Dave Lapp wave as President Bush goes by after his stop at the Habitat for Humanity work site in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Their group has been in New Orleans one week so far helping with the recovery effort. (Carolyn Cole / LAT)

Don't let the barn door hit you on the way out....
