          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.

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

                                      Lol. When you wrote that, it made me think the same thing. but.......

                                      Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Kansas.[1] At 4,039 feet (1,231 m), it is 3,300 feet (1,010 m) above the state's topographic low point, which lies on the opposite side of the state. It is located between the communities of Kanorado and Weskan in Wallace County, less than half a mile (0.8 km) from the state border with Colorado and is close to the lowest point in Colorado.

                                        I worked with a very Irish urologist who had a daughter named "Kelly."

                                        She married a guy...

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
