    Not sure how advanced you are, but I'm guessing 32 years you're using blades as opposed to cavities, and have a pretty good feel for the ball, so this won't really help you.

    I don't get out as much as I used to and never had to confidence to use blades full time, but when I switched my old cavities to my new ones, I realised how far golf technology had come and it drastically improved my iron play. Hoping you notice the difference with your ones. Same thing with my driver, found more accuracy and greater distance without changing my swing a single bit from my old one, although that could just be luck.

    Either way, enjoy your new clubs, and I'm jealous. Hopefully this summer I can get out more than twice like I did last summer.

    Just back in, with beer & pizza, watching Marlins-Douchebags. It was really funny, I put myself in such horrendous positions off the tee that the irons really didn't matter, scoring wise. Going in I had confidence in the driver and it proved to be my downfall. Anyway, I hit the irons decent but not great. My progression is really opposite what you think. I've been playing cavities low these many years and these new sticks are more of a 'blade' type club...they require I bit more skill to square up consistently. I'm either going to commit to grooving my swing (at an advanced age :pray:) or I'm going to trade to a more forgiving club. I haven't given up yet, only 18 holes invested, but I think I was in my niche and maybe just need an update on technology rather than a change in club style.

    SF wasn't the only Hippie haven...I guess Haight Ashbury was cool and shit, never got there...but Greenwich Village was well...positively 4th street.
    I got married in November 68, done with the US Army for good by then... then went right onto/into the Summer of LOve.
    Damn. What a fuckin' trip...

    Gotta pass this on....just saw two episodes of "Apocalyse WW I"...truly must see TV.
    Best documentary I've ever seen on The Great War...very nitty gritty, with footage, pretty much all of it, that I've never seen before. You really get the feeling of trench warfare, and the artillery pounding that those poor bastards took, day in and day out.
    It is colorized, too, adding a whole new dimension to normal WWI footage. Superb on all levels. Not for the sqeamish, I would say.
    I saw it on AHCH, or the Military Channel.
    Dont miss it.

    Lets Be Cops was hilarious. There is one particular scene where I laughed harder than I have laughed while watching a movie in a long time.

    I recommend watching it.

    This is probably not a news flash, but Robin Williams' med for the Parkinson disease had the possible side effect of suicidal thought.
    Poor bastard never had a chance with all the other shit he was dealing with, and this on top of it.
    Bummer, man. Too sad.

    No posts about the decapitating, filthy cocksuckers of ISIS, eh?
    I heard today that a part of that roach pack are left over from Saddam's elite corps, the Republican Guard, who did nothing when we went through Iraq like shit through a goose back when. Now we are gone, so waging this kind of cowardice and murder on captives, Christians, women and defenseless others activates their evil psyches and death worshipping appetites, , because there is no opposition to stop them.
    "the American people are tired of being in Iraq" sounds so pathetic, as if we are enduring anything but hearing and watching headlines we'd rather not see. When I think of my own mother and her family going through the Blitz, and keeping the faith and fighting through, the disdain of the population who faced and did nothing in Iraq is nauseating.
    Only the volunteer soldiers in our forces get it and are willing to die for it.
    Meanwhile, unspeakable crimes are all beginning again.
    Let's see what our leader does...

    Yeah, it's terrible. But we all need to see and know what the fuck is going on over there. We sure aren't solving shit or stopping this human stain by not looking at photos of their handiwork....maybe this will make Americans "less weary".

    Pictures dont mean anything to anyone.
    If you need a picture to feel you already dead in your mind.
    What do you think the "i see dead people" from signs means?
    Its about brain dead people who envy the life of those who still use their brain for something other than basic instinct.

    The only reason you suffer is lack of knowledge, and you is the nation/city/church/circle of friends/family
    and you have lack of knowledge because you rather be entertained and be entertaining.
    You put yourselves in the mouth of the circus lions trap door thinking its jaws will let you out when the show is all over.
    Like the trained lion always does, except the one time the lion decides to shut its jaw and clamp down with its bloody fangs. Because it is a wild beast you fool. You cant play with fire forever and not get burned.
    Such is playing with teh beast.

    Nobody needs to see what is going on, they needed to feel it before it happens by knowing what is going to happen. This needs to be collective or it fails.
    Its too late for any of that, there is no point, its always too late because by the time you have the smoking gun the people are already dead
    And autopsies are there for the next group
    Except this time you are the next group
    The only thing left for you to do is to run for the hills to prepare and listen to the sound of the music.
    And the hills are a metaphor, like prepping is a metaphor
    If your idea of prepping is hoarding material goods then you already lost inside a besieged castle, always happens that way.
    Build castles in the sky as thats the only way to have them drop anchor on earth.
    The foundation is long laid but the workers need to make strong pillars.
    That is what the man said when he said that he had a dream
    Nothing is news, its all olds and newswatchers and commentators are just chewing up scenery since the hidden ages called dark by history ashamed of his self.
    If you dont want to go that far back read news from the 1800s to know what is going on and how the story goes and where we at in the old ball game. Learn what was learned by our founding fathers, sons of liberty and granddaughters of the revolution way back when.

    The story is coming to its climax.
    ISIS is the great mother of old, the raw power of mans nature given to it by nature itself. Its beast mode.
    countered by RA the sun that is mans representation of reason or great father of intellectual excuses and rhetorical logic that man has given unto himself. Intellectual hashashin from the west.
    This is the crusades, both sides have been fighting for eons and both sides are about WINNING!
    That is why both RA and ISIS worship is worship of envy/self/ego. They are designed to give you what you want.
    For the west that will be the virgin Mary and Jesus angle. And you will fall in love with the New Romance because you always have. Its still just Isis and Ra.
    This has been fed to you many many times and you love it every time.
    Including atheists and agnostics. The beauty is just too beautiful, the reasoning too reasonable and you too weak to look away. Nobody wants to be the girl left out of the dance. Nobody wants to be unreasonable or illogical when the pain of being either or is too harsh for a weak devilitated people.
    Most everyone always prefers to buy the lie than suffer the truth.

    And all your girls will line up for the show so of course the non believers will run after the shiny.
    We have lots of church girls in knee high skirts and tight sweaters who love all this stuff.
    All the protestant churches are like pretty little maids all lined up and ready for the feast.

    They are primed and ready and want to go to the wedding and be taken to the honeymoon too.
    But they too busy planning the afterparty and making fancy plans instead of working on their bodies.
    I mean if you really want to be the one that goes to the honeymoon you gonna want to work on your body as thats the moment where your dirty clothes are flung off and we see what you look like underneath.

    The believers are drunk with their own personal Sun, their own reason and excuse.
    So of course they will jump at the chance to join up, its only logical and people are very well enter trained to do whats 'right'.
    Right.
    The girls are so drunk trying on gowns by then that they pay no mind to their body, forgetting what happened to the emperor in all the stories. Hes always an old decrepit crypt keeper looking bag of skin and bones. He is dead man walking trying to steal a little bit of your life force or your youth or your soul or even just your nacho libre spirit for mucha lucha.

    You know who both sides of the crusades are, there have been movies im sure you are familiar.
    Neither side are the good guys, au contraire mon amirish they are the sons of mars/aries aka war, death, plunder and chaos for gold and power. They are knights of glory and beer.
    Ends justifies the means types. Many start off meaning well i suppose. But that is what is called Mammon.
    The french know well if they remember, as do the dying gauls that look like larry bird and fans of sinead oconnor over in the northern troubles.

    Your founders much like Superman kept hidden things hidden in a glass jar with a tight double seal.
    Like how people keep tea and herb sealed for the right time, like when there are times of trouble and disease.
    You put them in a mason jar, you dont leave them out in this kind of weather.
    They stay fresh when everything around them is putrefying.
    Superman had a little city pulled from the crypts of his cryptonian home.
    A little city hall with people working hard for the common good. Making sure the law codes were interpreted correctly.
    At the end of the day its all about the coda. The end of the great opera. The outro, the hashtag.
    The circle in the cross.

    Supermans really big secret wasnt his identity like people assume.
    Sure a cover job is always important, but Supermans secret was what was in the Jar.
    And its not a secret but a mystery.
    Like the one shared by a man and his new wife during their honeymoon.
    The best man prepares the wedding but steps out of the limelight for the groom to take the party of adventurers home.
    Except the best man and the party only go to the wedding, they dont go to the honeymoon.
    So the mystery remains special even within those partying at the wedding.
    But its a mystery not a secret that someone may whisper to you an answer.
    Mysteries are to be found by those who look out for danger at the edge of town.
    There you may find the news of the living world and stop being taken by surprise by the news of death and the death of news.
    There will be new news, but you guys are going to have to step away from your regularly scheduled programming.

    I was clever like you once Rube, so I thought I would change the world.
    Like you.
    Now I am wise, and realize I must change myself.
    Mason jars ? Sinead O'Connor? Girls in knee high skirts and tight sweaters?
    Take a stand Rube...after your epic, clever and meandering verse as it is, at the end, where do you stand? If the answer is within your words, then I apologize; I missed it. Is the message not to be surprised and upset over this? That's it?
    Are you singularly life's chronicler, off to the side, as we all are from time to time...an observer with poetic commentary? Or is there something else?
