Doomsayers - Weather and World Affairs

 Today we were supposed to golf at Puslinch Lake Golf Course with lunch included.  But the forecast of torrential rains appeared to put this at risk.  It rained quite a bit yesterday, and again through the night.  Indeed it was raining while I got rolling this morning.

But the course told our organizers that they were indeed open and that carts would be allowed on the course.  So, I drove through the rain to Grimsby to pick David up, and we drove through the rain to Cambridge.  Not a positive vibe!

Nevertheless, it had stopped raining by the time we got to the course and once there, you would never know that it had rained.  The course was not wet and there were no soft spots.  Really unbelievable!

As it turned out, despite the doomsayers, this was a perfect golf day - affected negatively of course by the quality of our play - but perfect nonetheless.

Our intrepid foursome.

John Buckley sent me the following message today.


Sad, but true.  

And then, there is Canada at NATO.  Continuing to fall far short on our commitment to defense.  Old two sides of his mouth tried to put a political spin on it, but nobody believes him.  

And then he blamed the Conservatives.  Hopefully, after the next election we'll find out that they'll do better.

Back to work tomorrow morning, then a routine follow-up visit to the cardiologist who installed my stents.

Stay well.
