Smiles

This is a segment for those of you golfers, er, hackers, duffers, well, whatever...who were playing golf back in the day...when golf balls were sold by compression numbers...70% up to 100%...like them pros had the highest...now, they are sold by name brand...and the 'pro version', or 'soft', you get it...by other means...still, the revered ball was and is, the Titelist...which was the most expensive...not anymore...others are JUST as spendy, now...$40 to $50 bucks a dozen...the point is, that the balls back then, if you didn't hit it just right, would split OPEN...create SMILES, we would call them...not anymore...nope, you can smack them right in the middle and nuttin'...I brought this up to my playing partners, who started later in their life, chasing the ball around...and they had no idea what I was talking about...well, they are Republicans...

What on earth was that excuse for closing a game out in Eugene?...as the UCLA Bruins were done...out of it...down by 10+ in the closing session of the game...and then...the Ducks fell apart...in all phases, ie COACHING!...I have no idea what the game plan was, and the boxing out...on free throws...who knows what they are taught...or not...anyway, UO lost in OT...oh my...the tip of the things to come for this team...OTOH, the mighty Beavs won in OT over USC...there is hope for the state, after all...this time in Corvallis...

I hit the Pick 5 and got me some new wheels...ah, just a fibbing...

Your boy Donny, was tripping about in Texas...drumming up support for his monikered wall...was he hunting down illegals scurrying across the border?...nope, not him...he has club feet...right?...oops, that was bone spurs in 'em...whatever it took for him to evade the service...however, he did boast last week, that he would have made a great general...as he said, 'don't you think?'...Sarah, Mike, Jr, Jared, Eric, and Ivanka all nodded affirmatively...

February 7...mark that date down...as that is the announced one, that the House of Reps crack committee will be interrogating Michael Cohen...figure all of the pixels in the White House will be turned to that...and the rebuttal Tweets will be forthcoming...as the wall will begin to crumble, right before his and our eyes...Watergate redux?...

Speaking of impeachment...I was, wasn't I?...ABC ran a 2 hour thang on Slick Willy and Monica...I dunno, kids...with friends like the gal that she had, that taped everything...about her and Bill's relationship...and then was trying to make money on it...smells...Linda Tripp...what a piece...

Donny Wall...all points are directed toward a 'National Emergency'...and the funds just may come from those that WERE allocated for the fires in California...notice, the key word, WERE...shenanigans abound...stay tuned to this...

Getting back into Texas...really...we watched a flick last nite, starring Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine...'Hell or High Water'...shoot 'em up fun...terrific acting...and had nuttin' to do with the Donny Wall, or the Rio Grande...it was in Midland...so far away...we kept asking each other, is this the way of that part of the country?...a must see, kids...

So many rumors out there about the Apple Co...stocks are down...prices may drop...thing is, they put out such a good product, it's hard to figure out more to do...to entice, buyers to buy a new model...so, this just got released, that the iPhone may have THREE cameras in it...what?...there you go, you will NEED it...

The futures were down...again...take a peek at the Market today...

So you are one fine, gifted athlete...can play 2 sports...like REAL well...talkin Kyler Murray...QB and Heisman Trophy winner at Oklahoma...and pro baseball dude for Oakland...and he is debating doing the pro football thing...like, he may be 5'10"...tops...but soooo fast, with a decent arm...could make millions immediately in football...but, longevity may favor baseball...what should he do?...

Dang, if I couldn't find a picture of a golf ball with a smile cut into it...man, I had a whole bucket load of 'em in my garage back in Orygun...here's the best I could come up with...
