No blog yesterday. My annual physical with Dr. Norris ate up most of my time and left me exhausted afterwards.
It turned out to be a close Ryder Cup. At the end of the first day’s play, Europe’s lead a large one 11.5-4.5. What a difference Sunday made! The U.S. came back big time. Lost by only 2 points 15-13.
A valiant U.S. effort.
Play was abusive. By the fans. Especially towards McIlroy and his wife. Language and behavior.
Golf is a gentleman’s game. Fans should conduct themselves in a similar fashion.
Lyndon Johnson was a comedian of sorts. He had an automobile transfixed into an amphibious vehicle. Drove on land and water. He pranked people with it. Told unaware passengers his brakes had failed and drove the car into a lake. Thoroughly scarring his passengers.
The New York Times reported Key West weather would have a “hot index” today of 104 degrees. Dangerous, even though the actual high will only be 7.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has ended his reelection bid. He was too far behind several other contenders.
I decided to change my breakfast restaurant of choice yesterday It has been Goldman’s for years. Its food good quality. However the food could be better, the help more courteous, and the seating improved. I generally breakfast alone. Sick of being limited to a small table, even when the place is half empty.
Opted to return to I-Hop yesterday. Guess what? Permanently closed. I was surprised. So it became Denny’s. I had a large booth. The eggs extra large. the potatoes outstanding. The breakfast called a $5 Smash. The toast left something to be desired. Redmond’s toast excellent in comparison.
Later in the day I enjoyed a healthy Smoothie at Date and Thyme.
Is Netanyahu going to make it possible for Trump to be awarded the Noble Peace Prize? Trump, note not Netanyahu, announced yesterday a peace plan was in place involving Israel and Gaza. Not firm yet, however.
I will believe it when I see it.
Both purportedly behind the plan authoritarian figures whose words often fail to materialize.
It appears the U.S. government will shut down at 12:01 am wednesday.
Major League Baseball announced robot umpires will be used in professional baseball beginning next season.
Trump’s plan to send troops to Portland remains riddled with uncertainties. It may never get off the ground.
Dolly Parton has “health challenges.” They are forcing a delay to her Vegas concerts till 2026.
Tropical storm Imelda heading for southeast U.S. today. Supposedly will not reach land. It is expected to turn sharply northeast this later this afternoon.
Let’s hope so.
Expect heavy rain this afternoon, however.
It is 8:20 this morning. Still pitch black outside. The weather changed without me being aware. For real. It has been changed for some time without me having paid attention.
Enjoy your day!
