"The World is Full of Stupid People"

It ceases to amaze me how stupid some people are? I mean, gosh, some people are so stupid, it's not safe for them to be out in public. It's funny to be around people who have very little common sense. I work with a few. They're are good people, and I like them a lot, but come on, they can be so dense. Someone at work was reading the newspaper and saw an ad for a HOG rally in Nashville. HOG meaning Harley Davidson. She thought it meant hog, as in pig. Well, we all got a good laugh out of that. One person at work thought one evening that the sun was the moon. She was looking outside and saw the sun setting. She looks at it, in all seriousness, and says, "Boy the moon sure is bright tonight." I replied with, "Ummm, that's the sun." She didn't believe me at first but oh well. Golfers are funny. I have to say that Willowbrook has some spoiled golfers. On the carts, there are these little things that give you the distance from where you are to the flag. Some golfers cannot golf without those things. Now some on the carts don't work because the battery is dead and we don't have any spares. Well, they will check every cart in line to see if the range finder works. It's funny. Then there are some golfers who try to bring the golf carts into the parking lot where they're not allowed. What's funny is that there is no access to the parking lot unless you drive across the Driving Range tee box. Now one day, sure enough, there was a Japanese couple who were out there driving across the driving range trying to get to the parking lot. Lack of common sense. If there is no direct way to the parking lot, maybe that says something. I don't know how some people think.

I've been fortunate only to get it with a golf ball once in my 3-years there. I got hit in the neck with one that bounced off of a tree. I was out on the driving range where we keep the ball picker-upper thingamajig at. Two coworkers and myself were behind these trees talking and a ball hit the tree by me and hit me in the neck. It stung for a minute but wasn't that bad. I know one guy who got hit once and you could see the dimples from the ball in his leg. Bet that hurt.

I got hit on at the golf course yesterday. That was a first. I have never been hit on by someone at the golf course. The girl who did the hitting actually reads this and she knows who she is.

I'm hopefully going to get some pictures of me flying through the air and put them up on the pics page. There's a picture of me jumping from someone's porch onto a very tall guy named Riley. The plan was for him to catch me ,but it didn't work out that way. I ended up tasting dirt. I haven't seen the pictures yet but I've heard there's a good shot of me in mid-air. Neato.

I put a poll of the week on the front page. Click on the link and email me your answer. Other than that, there's not too much going on. Well, guess this is goodbye. Until next time, that's my story and I'm sticking to it
