I've read where a golfer in Japan just missing a HIO is congratulated by those is in group as making one can cost into the thousands of dollars (or hundreds of thousands of Yen).

the day I hit the one that landed past the hole and finished in front of the hole a good friend of mine holed out in the next group on that par 3.

we were part of a large group, maybe 5 or 6 foursomes.  He handed the bartender this credit card........ bartender started telling everyone in the clubhouse there was a HIO and free drinks.  Swanky country club, women were ordering expensive glasses of wine and men were calling for expensive glasses of scotch.

Tab was almost $2K

my buddy was pissed, but paid it.

I got a Budweiser.  Almost glad mine didn't go in.

I'm going out to the swanky place tomorrow afternoon and Friday

I'd love to be able to pay.

Not that much, but that's one of the few things credit cards are good for

Glad I'm not there.

Still waiting on the WDOJ report on the Jacob Blake case to come out. That could get ugly, fast.

I don't see it.

He wasn't released from prison. He was released from jail. Big difference. He's still facing the exact same charges that he was facing before, he's just not in a holding cell. 

If he is acquitted, then Minneapolis will probably burn again, in the same way that LA did after the Rodney King officers were acquitted.

But nothing will happen based on him being released on bond.

The crowd is a bit different today, and some are looking for any excuse.

We went out to dinner last night, a place we go fairly often, a fish kind of place called Lure.  Was good.  They had a decent crowd, mostly on the patio.  The weather is conducive, we actually sat inside. We walked over 6 miles yesterday.  The doc gave me clearance on the shoulder, but no throwing yet.

I self published a book on Amazon/Kindle.  I wrote it over a few months (in between posting around here) and tried to proof read it as well as I could.  It's historical fiction, 232 pages, Book One.

We're about to get some rain tomorrow from the hurricane.  The Gulf coast has been hit pretty hard this season, I hope this one weakens of course.  

Da Braves are looking strong, but the Dodgers look fearsome.

We're headed up into the mountains on Monday to visit a cousin and look around.  Staying three nights in hotels, I'll see how they are.  I think the risk is manageable, I hope.  I am less concerned about contact contagion than I was in March.

On principle, I probably won't see this out of feelings for Mel. That said, it's a brilliant premise and looks hilarious.

My first thought is this is going to be comedy...   like a funded version of sharknado.

I feel like maybe closer to John Wick? Like hyper violent, but also so silly that it's cartoonish?
