    I don't have a game at the course this morning, so here I am on line at 8 o'clock in the morning.
    Fucking depressing, but so is Morning Joe.

    Republicans, without exception, suck the pus out of syphilitic penis sores.
    That takes care of the thread topic.

    Now to what's immediately important: it's raining, today, on Friday.
    I only play golf on weekdays.
    I must therefore wait until Monday to play. Bummer.

    Still, a three game set against the Yanks starts tonight.
    It's also Maher's last show before summer hiatus, so I'll DVR that. Don't know why. It'll be On Demand as well, but I DVR it just in case.
    I know that a lot of us have "cut the cord," but life without cable seems MUCH too dire for me.

    How the hell do you guys do it? I spend over three bills a month on my cable, broadband, streaming, and land line bundle.

    Although I'm not trying to disguise the smell of marijuana in a prep school dorm room,

    I nonetheless often light incense sticks down in my man cave.

    I like the smell, and it also maintains a small connection with my childhood faith.

    Unless I'm mistaken, incense was one of the gifts that the Three Stooges brought to Jesus on the first Christmas.

    I'm sure that the kid would have preferred candy or toys, but the legend goes with incense and some other stuff that I can't remember.

    Anyway, I'm burning some now. The basement level has its own heating / air zone, but even on the hottest days,

    there's no need for A/C down here. In the summer, a de-humidifier goes on automatically instead.

    There's occasionally a very faint musty smell from the lack of the A/C being on, but incense more than takes care of that.

    The fragrance does make one want to light a joint, though, but I'm just having coffee instead.

    Although we have every day year round access to our club's other amenities,

    people with senior discount memberships can only play golf on weekdays.

    [An exception is for formal events and tournaments, member-guests, for example,
    but everybody pays extra fees to enter them.]

    So today, while the poor young stiffs who have to work all week have the course to themselves,
    I'm home and on the internet on a beautiful day. Not good.
    I'm going to find an excuse to go out.
    Have a nice weekend.

    Wewww.

    Lots of hate here. All I have to say is if we can't get beyound the pathalogical divisiveness and anamosity gripping These United States we are headed for the end of These United States. I'm not sure how close we came on January 6, 2021 but what happened should have beeen a wake up call to all AmeriCANs. But of course it can't be because we are so divided; 1/6 is viewed so differently by people that are, like it or not, COUNTRYMEN.

    The Great America that Trump and his supporters are "Againing" about was great because we AmeriCANs were US; after War 2 we were United. And though we may have disagreeed, after all was said and done, we were still UNITED; U.S.

    I'm probably the first AmeriCAN grandpa, to look at his new born grandson and wonder; "You were born AmeriCAN, I wonder if you will die American".
    A Great America is one that makes the MOST AmeriCANs Great

    We're 6-0 against our arch rival Yankees so far this season.

    Now all we have to do is learn how to beat other teams and we're in business.

    The Astros and Rays are really pissing me off this year.
    Texas and Florida are two of my favorite places as you well know.

    We actually LIKE New York.
    We just don't like the Yankees.

    Today is a spectacularly beautiful day in the Boston area, but my golf game got cancelled this morning.

    One guy, the "baby" of our group, had to take his mother-in-law to the emergency room.
    He's the only one young enough to have a mother-in-law.

    Another was too hung over from a family BBQ yesterday to even get out of bed.

    And yet a third came up with some excuse, but I really suspect that he didn't want to play with just me.
    [I'm the one he has no chance of ever beating, if we have to be brutally honest.]

    I think that I'll just clean the bathroom in my man cave.
    Birthingpersonfucker. I'm in no mood for working. No need to alert the media over that, however.

    Well, I can least bump my thread while I'm up.

    It was absolutely scorching hot out on the course today---the putting greens, even more so that the fairways, turned brown the second the sprinklers shut off--but everybody played well.
    Everybody got nailed by sprinklers at some time or other as well. They just rise up out of the ground and get you.

    Antique bones react well to heat. We stay nice and loose...and we are riding, after all.

    I could have had six drinks in the clubhouse afterward--I actually got the guys to stay a little this time--

    but between being dehydrated and having to drive home, I kept it to one drink and a cheeseburger.

    No game today,
    Didn't have to wake my dog up at dawn to get in a walk before I headed out to the course.
    Just having coffee on the porch waiting for her to wake up on her own.
    She's probably sprawled across my pillows right now.

    Neighbors who are up early wonder what the fuck I'm doing with my laptop outside [I never post on a telephone.]
    "Porn first thing in the morning, Nifty?"

    We need more Jews in the neighborhood.
    They make better comedy writers.

    Better get on topic for a minute.
    Republicans suck.
    OK, that should do it.

    Until we address the fact that people will totally incompatible core values can't live peacefully under the same laws and tax codes,
    we're doing nothing to stop our descent into outright dystopia.

    Conservatives go on xenophobic rants about the evils of globalization.
    It's largely a distraction, however.

    Neither conservative mutants nor progressive liberals loathe anybody on this planet more than we loathe one another.
    There is no hatred more viscerally felt than that which we have for one another.
    As long as we're trying to tell one another what to do and also what not to do, they'll be no stopping America's journey down history's toilet drain.

    It's partition or chaos, and chaos seems to be winning.

    Game went well today but the guys didn't feel like staying for a drink.
    I stayed and had a cup of coffee and a BLT instead.

    I wondered if the new barmaid likes older gentlemen.
    Much older gentlemen. It would kill me for sure,
    but there are worse ways to die, I might imagine.
    Still. she was pleasant to talk to.

    It was much cooler today, maybe about 80ºF, but I really didn't mind when it was hot.
    Hot is good for golf, at least if you're riding.

    What the fuck is Milquetoast Macaw spouting on about?
    Never mind. If I cared in the slightest, I wouldn't have him or ignore.

    No game today.

    Late night tonight.

    The Scarlet Hose are in Oakland.
    Almeida County Colosseum is usually the depths of hell for us.
    We tend to suck there.

    So close to the prettier park in San Francisco, yet so far away.
