Carol was sitting on the deck,


yesterday evening, after a particularly trying day at the office, and had decided she had earned a tall gin and tonic, with a fresh lime, her special Beefeaters gin, in her favorite lead crystal glass. We had just sat down and I was thinking, 'Hmmm, that looks pretty good', when BAMM!, a golf ball, from #9 tee box, totally exploded the drink, sending shards of glass everywhere, cutting Carol's leg, and nearly giving us both a heart attack. Our neighbors, also on their deck, during cocktail hour, heard the shattered glass, and ran over, thinking a window had been broken. The young villains tried to make a highspeed run, in their golf cart, up the far side of the fairway, but I 'convinced' them to come over and face the damage. At first, they were kinda wise-asses, but the guy who hit it, finally agreed to pay, opened his wallet, and gave me all his cash. Ten bucks. All in all, it could have been worse. I'd rather replace a glass, than taking a golf ball, going FULL speed, to the head or knee, which nearly happened. The perils of golf course living....

OMG! Thank goodness Carol didn't have that glass up to her mouth when it was hit. It amazes me why people build houses on golf courses. It's like living on a shooting range. DUH!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
