It's really nice to see Jordan Spieth smiling again,. Let's hope it continues.
Things we don't notice in the USA: In Taiwan there is constant preparation against an attack by China. They're employing and training for a "Porcupine Strategy: which would make it exceedingly painful for a Chaina beach landing incursion They move key country asssets underground and they continually prepare the citizens for rapid movement elsewhere in the event of an attack.

The Answer:
There is something special about rainbows. I still feel like a kid when one pops up. I should act cool like it's passe for an old guy like me. But, there is that magic when colors brighten the sky: From on top we have Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Ah, the dreams
Color your weekend beautiful, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
