With the news breaking the way it is, and how the world is poised at the moment, WNU you're going to be busier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
James .... I am looking at my Reuters and AP news feeds .... and I am losing count on the stories that I can post. This is unprecedented in my 7 - 8 years of doing this blog.
It's bad time indeed, you are right there James. I hope it dosen't get even more worse, but to be realistic thing can escalate in many places, like North Korea which is now behaving "strange", They have a "sick" leader, pernhaps a potential coup. They have now tried friendlines towards South Korea but it seems the negotiations are collapsing and there is sheeling over the border and South Korea has said that if this continues there will be a "strong reaction", hope it will calm down but in Korea everything could happen.
Rhaegar,
People tend to have the conceit that things can't get as bad as the "bad old days". There is absolutely no reason they can't and no reason they can't be worse than they have ever been.
That being said, I am an optimist.
WNU,
The real reason for all the mayhem etc, is I'm on the verge of having a real golf game and the golf gods will not tolerate that. I shot a 76 yesterday with only a fair iron game. But, I got around the course in only 26 putts (only 10 putts on the front nine). So I now expect the worst from the gods. They are an envious vicious group of D.ieties
76!!!!!
I am humbled.
Winter is soon coming here .... my last game of the year is tomorrow. I will .... cough cough .... try my best to break 76.
WNU,
Putt like you're not afraid of missing.
