Last time I played a round was at St Andrews. I remember my first drive landing right in the fairway on the Old Course. It could have been better only had I been playing the Old Course and not the course next to it. Great fun even though I managed to lose enough balls into the sea, gorse and ponds that when I found some kids who were fishing balls out of a pond and I bought some from them so I could finish the round.

I have the week off and with it being a nice cool day, I went in the yard to do some weeding and other jobs. My labradors stirred up some wasps, I think each got a sting. I got stung about 10 times on my legs. Spent the rest of the afternoon icing the bites down and napping by the TV.

Meanwhile this was taken by 1-91 by Lyndonville. Its on the internet so it must be legit.

We lost power for about 6 hours at home. A really good drink- maybe 1.5 to 2 inches based on the nearby Davis stations but 2 went offline with the power issues. Drive home was white knuckle due to the wind, rain, hydroplaining and occassional branch in the road.

Eye clearing out and getting much better looking right with landfall.

I just installed for the first time since we bought this house 8 years ago. The times before when we got hot or humid it would break soon enough but my wife has been really uncomfortable for the past couple of days with the heat. Looking forward to Tuesday's low dews now.

GFDL built a big addition to house a new computer in the early80s (I think that was when it went up). I remember visiting my dad at the lab in 90s and by then the computer had been replaced with one which took up just a fraction of the room.
