BIOLOGY EXAM:
This is straight from Scotland. Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam.
The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.
The question was worth 70 points or none at all.
One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. However, he wrote:
1) It is perfect formula for the child.
2) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6) It is always available as needed.
And then the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote
7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get ii.
He got an A.

The doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired.
At her next checkup, the new Doctor told her To bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for Her.
As The young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide As he realized Grandma had a prescription for birth control Pills..
"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL Pills?
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in These that that could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and Patted the young Doctor's knee...."Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old Granddaughter drinks ... .And believe me, it definitely helps me sleep at night."

The US Open was "very local" for me. The "Blue Lot" for parking is about 3 blocks from my house, in the park where I exercise my dog. I was thrilled that Jordan Spieth's caddie, Michael Grellers, is literally a local boy. It is a truly great story: How a middle school math teacher became Jordan Spieth’s caddie. I watched the transformation of the gravel pit to golf course myself, and one of my favorite bicycle/motorcycle rides has always been up Chambers Creek Road and along Grandview Drive which runs above it. When I first moved here it was actually a huge 200+ foot mound that was gradually eaten away at to provide roadbed around the region. Most of the sand in the traps is native. I'm with you regarding the deliberate move away from "perfect/country club" courses. The community course that I learned to golf on had " sand greens". Talk about tough putting! Sadly, my golf game has not improved significantly over the 35 years since. I do, however, love me some golf cart. I love the walk, when I have wheels and a deserted course, but my game takes so long because everyone plays through while I zigzag down the fairway...
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I lost two good buddies at Greta's because they threw in the towel in dealing with conservative morons: daddyo and Jess Fuchenwicha

I did. And I loved it! What a finish. Dustin Johnson might have another take. Living in the NW the tournament felt special to me. We had lived in Seattle for most of the 1980’s and I remember when that land in Tacoma that the course was built on was a working sand and gravel pit. The reclamation from it to golf course is an amazing story. I was wondering where the tournament was being held when I saw the cement barriers on Sunday. I've only seen parts of the tournament in the break room at work. The first day I saw the ocean in the background and thought it was Pebble Beach and thought: boy did they let the turf turn brown.

Good jokes Scout.
We all need a little levity in these cruel times.

Those were jokes? 
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

I guessed you were from Southern Washington NWP. Perhaps Vancouver.
How did your RV venture go?
