Random Thoughts

Spent last weekend at a friends in Greenville, SC to do a little golfing. When we left his house, he plugged in his Garmin GPS so we could find our way since neither of us had been to that course before. Once we were there my friend broke out his GPS to navigate the course. It gave us distance to greens, how far to sand traps and water hazards. Of course it didn't help my game, when the biggest handicap in your golf game is your swing, no amount of technology will help! It did get us talking about how far technology has come so quickly.

It is amazing to think where we are now as compared to 20 years ago.

It's frustrating to stand in line at a store behind someone yakking on their cell phone. It's even more frustrating to watch that same person pay for their groceries with "food stamps". Me thinks somebody has their priorities abit screwed up!

I love the hypocrisy of the ADT, Brinks, Broadview commercials. The stats don't back them up. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're not paying attention.

The argument used to support raising the minimum wage is ridiculous! If someone's skill set is such that they can only get a job earning the minimum wage, perhaps they should have thought twice about increasing the gene pool!

Could someone in the White House please tell the President that the campaign is over, he won, it's time to LEAD!

Congratulations to the University of South Carolina baseball team on winning the NCAA Championship! Maybe it will help cover up the dysfunctional political landscape of the state! I doubt it!

Why does it seem that all golf holes that dog-leg, do so to the left? My ball goes right, that doesn't help!

The South Carolina Educational Lottery has "supposedly" generated millions in funds for our educational system, yet we still dwell in the bottom of the country. Perhaps they need to re-think the system as a whole, instead of trying to throw more money at a broken entity.

Speaking of money, when will politicians realize that "sin taxes" (cigarettes, alcohol) only serve to hurt the poorest among us?

Just some things I think about when I home alone and the cable's out! Hope you enjoy!
