Well said and agreed.

Big rains in Southbury CT now.

“It’s important to understand the most common underlying factors that lead to violence: untreated anger, family violence, past history of violent acts, growing up where violence is used, and being young and male. To be clear, anger is not a mental illness. Hatred of others is not a mental illness. Wasting time pointing to mental illness doesn’t get us closer as a nation to solving the gun violence epidemic, and doing so leads to discrimination and stigma against those with mental illness — who are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Other countries with similar percentages of people with mental illness in their populations don’t see the same level of mass gun violence that we do in the U.S. In 1996, a massacre in Scotland killed 16 students and one teacher. The United Kingdom took legislative action, and 23 years later, all forms of gun violence have significantly dropped. In stark contrast, America has more guns and more guns per capita than any other nation. With 120 civilian firearms for every 100 people, the United States more than doubles the next country in line.“

Mental health struggles are all around the world though. Mass shootings are the result of easy access to guns, which is the only thing America is number 1 in. Mental health and mass shootings are not directly correlated. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/mental-health/stop-conflating-mass-shootings-with-mental-illness/?amp=1

I always prefer teeing off in the afternoon as well.

We’re roughly 2 weeks away from peak climo too so any sustained big heaters need to start showing up on guidance by then.

Lol. Coc is dynamic. It’s not just 68/35 all year around. Warmth with low dews that feels great on the body and mind…regardless of season.

So we have 3 definites and 3 maybe’s so far for the 17th at a course tbd in NECT. Likely CT National or Thompson Raceway. Yes: me, Ken, davisstraight Maybe, modfan, mrreaves, Chris (late tee of only) We’ll let this marinate into the weekend so more folks can chime in.

If we pick the 17th, tee time is still tbd. also, we if we get into a rhythm with these it won’t be the last golf gtg.

Yea. Congrats everyone and enjoy the 4th. Although we have yet to realize America’s full potential, citizens are more active then ever…striving for civil liberty and justice for all. We’ll get there, someday.

83/51 here with bright blue skies for July is money in the bank though. Can’t beat it.

COCed for the 4th weekend. Congrats everyone.

This one is the strangest one yet:

After the long and oppressive summeh heat wave which lasted for 18hrs…back to coc tomorrow.

Lol, fire hot sauce too.

Sure. Let’s shoot for it and if we get enough two foursomes or even two theeesomes, we’ll plan an appropriate tee time afterwards.

0.04” at SBY. A small rumble at like 3am but that’s it.

Whatever is best for the crew. My July weekends are packed though but I could probably swing a day. votes on: Sun 7/17 Sat 8/6 Sun 8/7 Sat 8/13 Weather permitting obviously.

That’s all my wife uses to “cook”. She loves it.

And you probably make as much in those two days then you do a full week during the school year lol. A bit exaggerated there I know but teachers are grossly underpaid (and under appreciated) from what I know.

That’s right. I’m down. I’ll come up with a few dates and give it a few weeks for everyone to decide.

It’s more about us getting together, the hacks are a given. I’m know to string together 3-4 holes of great ball striking, my playing partners hyping me up for a sub 80 round.. only for me to melt on consecutive holes where I duck a few tee shots. Whatever, it’s all in good fun.

Dangerous summeh day for teachers, be safe.

You can always start at “a while” and cut back to 18-24 when more dews trickle down the backside.
