      Maybe it involved that saying: "Alcohol - because no good story ever started with someone eating a salad!" 555

                The QR Code was invented in 1994.

                That’s 30 years ago. Before Microsoft launched Internet Explorer.

                  Nice… so let’s do the math, if you’re a bad golfer, that’s ~ 150 shots per round, or 650 rounds of golf.

                  If you’re a pro, that’s 80 shots per round or 1250 rounds of golf.

                  My guess is you are a very good amateur and shooting 100-110 per round. That’s 1000 rounds, or 200 per year. That’s damn near a full time hob…

                                Somehow I think that his vision and President Trumps vision of how to accomplish this have more differences than sameness.

                                    That way of presenting a map of the USA is a nightmare of false memories.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                        I find it hard to believe that Kansas has any mountain at all, much less one taller than their buildings.
