I had a choice of two undesirable options today:
1 - Stay in the condo and listen to the incredible noise of the saws cutting balcony railings (you couldn't hear TV or talk to each other it was so loud).
2 - Go to the greenhouse and work in the heat and humidity.
I thought that represented a "Hobson's Choice", but upon checking Wikipedia, discovered that what I had instead was a "dilemma".
I chose to try to avoid both by heading to the greenhouse but not intending to work. Cut a bit of grass, picked up a lot of plastic, and did a couple of other almost useful things before heading back home.
Thankfully, by then the noise was finished for the day.
Just scraping the patches this time around. And painting.
Probably only a couple more months before we get our balcony back. 😢

Meanwhile, Mardi golfed. She had a decent game despite the heat and humidity.
Speaking of heat and golf (as in "hot golfer") Matt had a pretty special day. On hole #9 at Willow Valley, an albatross - that's a hole in one on a par four! And folks, that's not a blind squirrel result (maybe a blind gorilla). That's a lifetime achievement moment. Well done Matt!

How many mass murders (four or more people) in the U.S. so far this year?
It's 220 and we're not half way through the year yet! That's at least 880 people (but they sometimes number about a dozen so it's probably over 2,000 people lost).
If they included 3, 2, or 1 person shootings, total murders must be in the thousands!
But guns don't kill people. Stupidity kills people. The N.R.A. and their Republican friends are really stupid and it's their stupidity that allows this carnage to continue.
In Canada, old age kills people. Not quite as gruesome, and more satisfying.

Blue Jays won their sixth game in a row, a 6 - 5 victory over the White Sox. A real nail biter, right up until the final pitch.
Stay well.
