Tiger Sighting

Looking forward to next weekend’s PNC Championship in Orlando. Participants must have won a major championship or the Players Championship. This year’s participants include Lee Trevino, Fred Couples, Steve Stricker, Padraig Harrington, Trevor Immelman, Justin Leonard, Nick Faldo, Nelly Korda, Annika, Stewart Cink, John Daly, Nick Price, Gary Player, Mark O’Meara, Tom Lehman, Bernhard Langer, Matt Kuchar, David Duval, and Tiger Woods. Also Charlie Woods and the other siblings.

The Independence Bowl found another opponent for Army – Louisiana Tech. I’m just now realizing that La Tech plays their home games in the Independence Bowl stadium there in Shreveport. Marshall had to drop out of the bowl due to so many players transferring.

Ate dinner Friday night at the Chiles house: chicken cordon bleu. Very tasty, and a good time. Nancy and Noelle were interested in my daily blog, so I may write an explanation post. Stay tuned.

Saturday morning after golf I was putting my little cart back in my trunk. When it was folding up it clamped down and squeezed my finger, causing a bad cut on my right thumb. Still having to wear a bandade which hampers my typing.

Saturday we cleaned out Matthew’s bedroom. Seemed like we just moved the mess to other rooms. I set up train tracks around the base of our Christmas tree. A&C brought Goose over to play with Winnie. Anna and Caleb were visiting during that TD that Navy scored, so I wasn’t able to really understand the penalty. Used to be you couldn’t spike the ball in college. Not sure if it was that or if he screamed in the direction of the Army defender. Didn’t seem like CBS showed much of the politicians in attendance, but then again I was only watching bits and pieces.

Sunday School and worship. Then I drove Ceil on a couple of errands. Leftover tenderloin and potato soup. Watched the Chiefs game. Laundry. Gassed up Ceil’s car.

Cashed in more McDonalds deals. Yesterday was their Chickfila type sandwich. Today a sausage McGriddle.

MAX SCHERZER [B-R Bio] is currently an unsigned free agent, but has publicly stated that he is not considering retirement. His current career WAR is greater than those of retired Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell, Whitey Ford, Jim Palmer Sandy Koufax. With another of his typical seasons, he could easily also pass Robin Roberts, Nolan Ryan & Bob Gibson. David Price, a teammate of Scherzer on Detroit (2014) and the Dodgers (2021).said "He's definitely a different breed, always has been. Just seeing the way he goes about things. He's a machine."

I played golf this morning. Arrived at work late and will leave early. Team dinner tonight.

Chipper’s reaction to ignorant / obnoxious fans.

Article: ways to be interesting.

The US could have been better prepared for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Had US government agencies better communicated with each other, the September 11 attacks could have been prevented. Now with tensions around the world threatening for widespread war to break out, the US government says the large drones flying around military based and nuclear installations are of no concern, without any real information about where they came from or who sent them. Based on recent history, how can the government be trusted?
