NMNM Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I haven't seen that much smoke since I boxed club cards in the 60s. Today fighters would be on a gurney with oxygen BEFORE they got to the ring. But it's really not funny. They've got to figure out something to prevent those horrible fires.

Rickp Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Well, it was supposed to be 100º today, but it's only 87º. So why is this a rant? It's sunny, not a cloud in the sky!! It's bright out, but there are almost NO shadows. Smoke from all the local fires, combined with the smoke coming up from California.

Popular Post robertson153 Posted August 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2018 So I'm enduring a 4 day training/school that requires me to pass a test on the last day. That's not my rant, this is a requirement for my job, understandable. My rant is the other 49 people in this class are morons. The man teaching the class will go ever a specific area, and then ask if they're any questions, it blows my mind how they can't comprehend what he just said. And these people control the quality of water you and I receive!! Now I know how stuff like Flint happens. I want to stand up and scream “This is Water Distribution, not rocket science!!†Rant over.

My advice, don´t underestimate it and all the advice the authorities issue. Keep masks with you and as much water as you can stored. I heard about the fire in Portugal. My prayers go out to all those that lost loved ones. Most of the smoke here is from 100's of miles away, but we have had some local brush fires. This past weekend we had on the edge of town; 6 houses destroyed, no one died, but they lost 2 horses. Unfortunately, the fires here on the west coast happen nearly every year. Tired of it.

Kor.A.Door Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A PGA tour hinge popped up on my Facebook page. That's normal. The caption though: the 3 best shots from Saturday at the PGA championship. #3. On a par three, Stone hits the flag on his tee shot and almost makes ace, #2. Wallace, makes ace on a par three. #1. Tiger Woods hits second shot onto a par 5. What? Seriously, the level of stupidity in Golf journalism is pathetic at best. This is why I don't watch the Golf Channel, and this is why I pretty much ignore any Golf talk from the networks. I get my golf talk from here usually. Tiger hit some good shots over the weekend, but I'm sorry hitting a ball on a green in 2 on a par 5 is not even close to the same level of an ACE in a major championship.

It's only a locally owned golf store run by a former Canadian tour player. Nice people. They have the major brands, but not a lot of stock. They always have lefty clubs though; the owner is a lefty and a +3 index.

NMNM Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Lefties can be really weird. One of my son's youth teams had a left handed first baseman--nothing unusual there. That's the only infield position that they can play. But with the significant advantage to batting left handed--primarily the preponderance of right hand pitching--this kid batted RIGHT handed. Rickie Henderson was the only big time player that I can ever remember doing that. The boy lived with a single mom. Perhaps an in home dad would have corrected that at, say, age 5.
