Opening Stuff:
Wow, it's August already! The month with no Holidays, unless of course you live in RI where despite numerous attempts by the "kinder and gentler" to eradicate memories and shoot down a momentous day in US History, the people here still celebrate VJ Day! Oh, they've tried to disguise it with a various succession of new names, but enough publicity remains to get the word out. Happy VJ day everybody!! After that, most of August is waiting for the end of Summer and the beginning of beautiful Fall! And of course Back-to-School sales.
"One Day More". It's still the biggest headline for today, even as 0-Man announces an agreement. It must clear the two houses. "One day more" today is not unlike these selected lyrics from Les Miz: "One day more! / Another day, another destiny... / One more day before the storm... /Tomorrow we'll discover / What God in heaven has in store / One more dawn / One more day / One day more." And the there is the optimistic, Tea Party side of the One Day More: "One day to a new beginning / Raise the flag of freedom high / There's a new world for the winning / There's a new world to be won." But, in the aftermath of hope, if you remember the scene, come the scavengers crawling though the sewers taking the gold teeth form the mouths of the brave, "Watch them run amok, catch them as they fall, never know your luck when there's a free for all." Which way will it fall? Has it all been disguised to fool us all?
Some people have dyed their hair so much, they have to hire a genealogist to find the historic roots!
The Question:
According to PGA statistical rankings, who is the best all around golfer on the PGA tour? Quickie Bonus: What are you doing when you are doffing?

There are just too many people out there wanting to help me through my life. Like the latest recommendation form Fortune Magazine -- Stepchild of nanny-state fostering Time Inc: "Get a retirement Coach!" Here's some retirement coaching for you -- Stop hiring all of these coaches and assorted facilitators so your retirement money will last until you die. And, that advice is free to you. Medicare will not pay for advice from the Tids. It's too practical.
I think my favorite All-Time Tennis players are Evonne Goolagong and Ken Rosewall.
And then, I have to believe that the media left loved the emergence of an excuse like Anders Breivik upon which they could rale against the "Right", just as they did when they targeted Palin as the reason behind the Gabby disaster.
The next big culturally popular way for young upwardly mobiles and their fawners to lose their minds will be with the advent of chic "Moonshine". I can see the wheels turning in the minds of Booze marketers after reading about the new Shine operation in North Carolina. "Moonshine overT Manhattan."
Put a fence around the Middle East. Now that the Prez has Detroit making better mileage cars, we don't need them anyhow. The new State Department report underscoring new levels of violence in Iraq, just reminds us that there is probably no possible solution to the turmoil anywhere in the region. Two many factions with too little restraint seems to assure instability as the rule in the ancient sand hills and alleys there. Maybe that's why Militant Dictators have been the most successful rulers in the mire we call the Middle East.
I have met some amazing Middle Easterners. Brilliant, warm, humorous and peaceful. The problem there isn't the individual. it's the groups that individuals gravitate to.
The battling reports about cancer from cell phones continues. The latest is a report based on an extensive study that says there is absolutely no chance of cancer form cell phones. Have you notice that reports warning of cell phone induced cancer always are couched with the phrase "Might be" while the reports refuting them always use the phrase, "Absolutely no."
Almost Near Chapter 31 continues. --"Actually, I'm just going to stroll up that way to see what I can see. I think two people would be too obvious." She turned to walk but stopped. "You know I'm beginning to think you are perfect. Maybe you've noticed. But, don't get a swelled head." Tucker just sat there with a dumb look on his face. He never knew how to respond to words and looks like that.
Audrey continued. "This is a tender moment. -- No, not between you and me!" She laughed an smiled. "I've been thinking about this a lot while we drove. These kids may be severely traumatized, based on what you believe may have happened to your girl friend. I'm starting to feel for them. The last thing we want to do is barge in and add to their discomfort. I just want to be sure they are safe. And, Florence may have gone to this place now, to move them again. I'll be right back."
Tucker just sat there thinking about this amazing person who he was watching walk down the street. And then his mind ran to Samantha in Lobster Cove. He pulled out his cell phone.
The Answer:
1. You probably did not guess that when you review all stats, Webb Simpson is #1 on the PGA Tour! He's 33rd in Driving Distance, 77th in Driving Accuracy, Greens in Reg 22nd, Eagles 66th, Birdie Avg. 5th, Scoring Avg. 6th, Sand Save 26th, Total Driving 10th. So, that's what it takes to be #1. But, he has never won a tournament. Quickie: When you are doffing,you are removing an article of clothing, or tipping your hat.
Most people in the world are just about the same until they come under the influence of something or someone.
