Night owls and golf in the desert.

These two stories by Rob Antel in yesterdays Telegram are essential reading for all in this Province, and beyond for that matter.

What a sorry state we are and have been in with our government representation. Many blogs have linked to the stories and added comments. I have yet to come across any feed back in defense of the indefensible. May have more to say on this later.

For now we have local and golf news.

Our neighborhood has been relatively quite of late, but I/we are always expecting things to hotten up late nights early morning.

Well the hood was in action early this AM.

The duplex across the road was the scene, not sure if it was the party place, but lots of people ended up going in and out of one unit, and back and forth to the rear of another unit.

Some noisy half crazed bloke woke me about 3. I looked out, he only had pants and shoes on, was knocking frantically on the door of one place. The door opened and he was allowed in, next thing several other people come from behind next door and start knocking on the door as well, all were allowed in after being vetted. Later shirt less and a young women are outside, he trying to make up in an intoxicated way, she in better shape and trying to put his clothes back on. She did succeed with that and calming him down, arse hole.

A bit later another bloke comes out of the place with only shorts on, like it is -14 wind chill, not bad really I guess. He is also trying to appease a young woman who was out a bit away from the house. Another woman comes from behind, gives the first woman an hug and what looked like some encouragement, seemed to work as she took off down the road, wise choice.

As I have mentioned before, I don’t want to interfere in people lives, but this sort of goings on interferes with out lives. Noise carries on still nights, all the homes and units are close to each other, except ours because I bucked the system and purchased the next door lot years ago. That said the roads are not very wide, so we all suffer from these arse holes activity.

So the jury is out on whether this trend will continue, as is its wont some times. Or is it just an anomaly after a funky weather week, letting of some tension and the like, lets hope it’s the later because some one usually ends up for the worse, and it’s usually women.

Another tension filled day on the golf scene. Nick O’Hean who beat Tiger put up another good show yesterday, but he had a real bad break and his opponent Stenson of Sweden had a bloody amazingly good break on the 18th. So the Ozzie lost 1 down.

So we still have another Oz in the final, the defending champion Geoff Ogilvy, one cool dude.

Stenson has already defeated an American, a Korean, a South African and two Ozzies. I will note that only one American made it to the semi final, so we can expect a subdued commentary and crown down there in the desert.
One commentator, Johnny Miller, I have time for. Miller gives mainly an unbiased view of play and players, does not go on with all this bull shit analyzing every time some one plays a bad or good shot, plus he knows the mechanics of the game as well or better than most, and he sure is not caught up with the Tiger mania razzmatazz.

Ps now that the sun has risen the night owls have hit the sheets. I’m thinking of getting a dirty great big drum and going around banging on it.
