Golf—an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle. –unknown

GOLF ROAD TRIP NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO

The purpose of this road trip is two fold One, to play 9 holes of golf and Two,find golf balls. Time and Place: Windy Hills near Lancaster,Ohio:::: Monday (chance to find more golf balls after a weekend)

I am a little concerned: am I getting to old to play golf ? I have perfect eyesight and can see where the ball goes but then I can’t remember where it is.

Looks like a storm is rolling in. This could be the game of my Life. G.O.L.F. Gentleman. Only. Ladies. Forbidden.

The problem with my golf game is L.O.F.T. LACK. OF. FRICKING. TALENT. Getting ready to head up that gulley to find golf balls.

Nine holes of golf with cart, hot dog, coke $20.00. I found about fifty usable golf balls @ .50 cents each =$25.00. Using this kind of math I have been able to convince my wife Linda that I can afford to play golf. LOL

Click on picture for a short Windy Hills Golf Video. I would like to leave you with this thought: “It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don’t get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs and fart if you are performing Brain Surgery !!!!”

This is not about Medicine Hat. Cape Spear. Come By Chance, Joe Batt's Arm, Heart's Content. Hearts' Desire, or Starvation Cove.IT IS ABOUT BRUCE MINES ONTARIO CANADA

The baseball glove was invented in Canada in 1883 but not in Bruce Mines.

The area was named after James Bruce, the Governor General of Canada appointed in 1846.

Canada's largest city is Toronto located on Lake Ontario Not Bruce Mines which is located on the north shore of Lake Huron but both are located in the province of Ontario.

Canada is the home of many great inventions, including: basketball, the electric light bulb, the electric range, the electron microscope, standard time, the television, the telephone, and the zipper.So says the internet. Sorry about that Mr. Edison and Mr. Bell

LUNCH CONSISTED OF :a dish consisting of French fries covered with brown gravy . Poutine is a diner staple which originated in Quebec and can now be found across Canada (Just add the cheese curds). Also, I had the best apple pie I have ever eaten . (Sorry wife) For $15.00 Canadian you can buy a whole pie.

Saturday mail delivery in Canada was eliminated by Canada Post on February 1, 1969.(Canada is ahead on this but I think we may soon catch up).

Guess what??? One of the above pictures doesn’t belong to Bruce Mines. Which picture is it? (really not to hard a question).

Ok you figured it out and think your pretty smart aye. Where was the picture taken??( is in Canada)

Let me leave you with this thought: Canada does not own the North Pole but It is believed Santa Claus is from Canada.

CLOUDS OVER LANCASTER,OHIO

It is a wired world in Lancaster,Ohio and we do sometimes have neat skies and clouds.

Or is it a weird world? Have you every had a cloud direct a spray of water at you then disappear? Tom D'Ercole 1975, in Oyster Bay, New York.

Sometimes a cumulus cloud will pass over a town and rain down dead insects.This happened in Hutchinson, Minnesota as reported in 1932 issue of Science.

Same sky different perspective. Sometimes clouds will rain down seeds. This happened in Macerata, Italy 1897. The seeds came from a tree found only in central Africa and the Antilles.

Sometimes in drought conditions irate farmers have seen small planes fly into clouds eject “chemicals” and then watch the rain clouds just disappear.A sinister conspiracy.

I wonder why they run a power line right thru a tree. Maybe to make it easier for the squirrels. (not really the case but it looks like it). It started in the 1940’s, cigar shaped clouds or cigar or saucer shapes in clouds. The aliens have arrived.

That’s what the sky looks like from the perspective of a corn tassel. Now I will tell you what is strange,all the above pictures were taken in my backyard in August in Ohio. We just don’t get clear blue skies like that with white puffy clouds in the middle of summer.

So I think I will go golfing
