Sunday Funnies

Pictures: Colleen Bird after a round of golf on her wedding anniversary; Ed and Maggie Schnarr after their round Saturday afternoon.

On Walls and Borders

From dKos, this tongue-in-cheek rant on saving all of America by building walls not only on the Mexican border but just about everywhere, as for example, around Florida, and the Great Lakes, and San Diego.

On Golf

Mickelson leads at the Scottish Open, Green at the John Deere and Pak at the Corning. Watched a bit of the John Deere on tv yesterday and noticed few people in attendance. Too bad; am wondering if the tournament directors even considered inviting another woman golfer once Mz Wie withdrew.

On Summer Vacations

Iraqi politicians want to emulate American politicians and take August off. Too hot in Baghdag and DC. I agree - they all need to go vacation at the beaches where they can practice pulling their heads out of the sand. And leave the people alone to get on with their lives.

And while on the topic of politicians, did you notice the latest poll numbers? 26%? Come on, nobody gets that low. Do they?

On Lakeview

Yes it's hot out there too but safe for all to wander out and enjoy a few holes of golf. When I was out there earlier, a big old pileated woodpecker was banging away on some helpless tree out by Bob Panko's Bench. Bob, I'm sure, was enjoying the company. Ok, I'm heading over there to see what's going on - good golf and good times I imagine.
