It’s been a great Memorial Day weekend here in the Valley of the Sun. The weather has been perfect – more like March than May – and it’s been both fun and relaxing. Played an enjoyable round of golf on an extremely tough course on Saturday (next post), and, while Sunday and Monday were pretty much working days, it was nice to have a quiet house and being able to get a lot of work done. In the meantime…

Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t this just stupid? I mean, scaling Mt. Everest being the equivalent of Cape Cod traffic on a summer weekend? Earth to all you climbers: if there are that many people able to make the trek to the top of Everest then maybe it’s not that unique a thing to do.

R.I.P. Bill Buckner. 69 seems awfully young. I’m glad he and the Boston fans made their peace. After all, it wasn’t his fault that manager John McNamara put someone with his bad knees in a position to fail.

I’ve said all along that Joe Biden’s ride to the Democratic nomination was going to be a bumpy one. The guy’s a doofus and a phony, his record on important issues sucks – has this bonehead every been on the right side of anything? – and he looks like death warmed over. If he thought the progressive wing of the Democratic Party was simply going to roll over and play dead just because he thinks it’s “his turn”, he’s in for a shock. The progressives know what happened the last time their choice got run over by someone who also thought it was “their turn”, and they’re not going to let it happen again. Here’s the money quote:

Voters are going into events with him expecting ‘Uncle Joe,’ but they come out having seen ‘Grandpa Joe.’

Personally, I hope Ol’ Slow Joe gets the nomination – Trump will make mincemeat out of him.

…and I personally Democratic dopes like this get their wish. Tlaib and the equally-repulsive Ilhan Omar are poster children for the hate America drift of a Democratic Party that has truly lost its way.

This is such a cool story. I’m wondering if an alien life force triggered the satellite to start transmitting.

The fact that this guy apparently still has a job justifies President Trump’s use of the term “fake news”. These people truly are the enemy of the people.

R.I.P Edmund Morris. His book on Reagan sucked, but the three-volume work on Theodore Roosevelt was both fascinating and a masterwork. You really got a feel for who the real “TR” was behind the legend.

This is so very cool. I love reading stories like this.
