Monday, Monday...

Pictures from Saturday's photo walk.

Been reading and walking and finishing up the corporate taxes so far today. Now it's flurring outside and the wind is still howling.

of note:

-both those golfing people with familiar names, Sorenstam and Mickelson, won this weekend. Did you agree with the commentators during yesterday's PGA event who picked Quinny after the first nine? I didn't. Lefty won going away. And because he won, he had to give out a whole bunch of hugs and kisses on his way to the clubhouse...

-In Korea back in November of 1950, the UN Forces, Americans, South Koreans, Turks, Brits, are caught in a bind and getting smacked pretty good by the Chinese. MacArthur finally sees that things are not going as planned, as he 'decreed', and notifies Washington that maybe the troops will not be home by Christmas. The author is not painting a very nice picture of the 'American Caesar'. The fine wine of the Inchon victory is turning into bitter vinegar. It's cold there, down to -20 degrees some nights. I remember, while in the early months of our Far East adventure with the US Navy back in the '60's, steaming to Korea and standing on the open bridge of the Washtenaw County and freezing my butt off. Think that within the year, the bridge was enclosed.

-Via tpmcafe.com, a look at the problem of being the 'one and only' female candidate for the presidential nomination. One of the results of being that is the emphasis on 'hair, hemlines and husband'. Solution: have more women running thus moving the conversation to agenda rather than gender. Worth a read.

Lots of things going on in our world today but there is no mail and the banks aren't open. Guess I'll get up and move around a bit, mayber even go for that second walk...

World is in a spin. Enjoy it while you can.
