Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.
Don't teach a man to fish . . . . and feed yourself.
He's a grown man.
And fishing's not that hard.

Well, I suck at golf. It's a stupid game for that matter and now I'm afraid to ever golf again.
Bring on The Oaks tomorrow, confidence is high. At least it rained AGAIN.
We were on the 6th hole and things were turning dark and I looked at the radar and saw the outflow from the coming storms. I mentioned that in about 15 minutes we were go from complete calm to very windy as the outflow (air column of air from being displaced by rain) would hit us.

| Calm before the storm - 6th hole at Door Creek |
I didn't get my swing back until the cigar started to make me dizzy and then it all came together as I aimed for the middle of the 3 fairways. My ball is way up there in that last shade and then I flew the 2nd shot to 10 feet of the hole. . . . and 3 putted (guess I was aiming at the wrong hole).
Then as we are about to tee off on 7 the wind hit. All four of us tee'd off and could not find our balls which were about 30 yards farther then we thought. I heard the group behind us all when 30 yards shorter LOL
So I ended with a 53 which seemed a lot better then what it felt.

We got a new refrigerator yesterday . . AND IT DOESN'T fit. Remember, if you physically measure the height of a refrigerator it's probably on carpet in the show room and the wheels sink down 1/4 inch. I'll have to take off the shelves above and reattach them 1/2 inch higher . . . I hope.
As luck would have it we saved about $600 exchanging the 1st "too big" frig so we purchased a new Bosch dish washer that is 42 DB. Literally can not hear it in a quiet room when it's running. AND - It's Energy Star so we can get a rebate from Columbus Water and Light.
Next step is seeing if we can get a gas hook-up for a gas range. We have a WHITE glass top electric range. DO NOT EVER GET A WHITE GLASS TOP stove. What a mistake that was. Looks great clean . . . which is only after cleaning after EVERY use.

We now have to be very quick to read the paper as Gus has decided his best diet would be one of all paper products.
BAD DOG GUS!
His legs continue to grow while the rest of him stays the same. I think it's because of his paper diet.

Trump has lost his ability to influence Republican primary voters and Alabama is about to teach Trump a lesson. Although in reality endorsements rarely have any type of influence.******************************
Lots of organizations are looking to help Texas by sending truck loads of stuff south. Talking to disaster relief people last night. It does not help. Cash is king. All those trucks of junk just get in the way with no roads, no places to stay and just add's to the crowds. If you REALLY want to help. Send money to the organizations that know what is REALLY needed.
When Haiti had their earth quake they ended up burning over 40 tons of clothing and other garbage people sent from America to "help".

Bad news for Thornton Colorado. As they were digging for a new Public Safety Building they uncovered a triceratops bone. Everything is put on hold now as scientists are flocking to the site.

This year Albert Pujols is the worst every day players in baseball. His WAR is -1.99 which is the absolute bottom of all players. WAR takes everything into account. 0.00 is your average player. this means if you would use ANY player you would win 2 more games.
Giancarlo Stanton leads the Majors in HRs with 51 which is 14 more then the 2nd place player Aaron Judge The last time someone was leading by 14 it was Babe Ruth. And he lead by 14 seven times in his career.

Aaron Rodgers has a HUGE article in ESPN magazine and online it seems. 5 full pages. I have not read it but they were talking about it on Sports Talk radio and it seems he was pretty disappointed in winning the Super Bowl. "That was it?" He said it was sort of a let down . . . . I tend to agree.
When the Packers win, I still had to go to work the next day and nothing in my life changed at all. It's the journey, not the destination that is the fun part.
