Here’s something to mull. I called a United States Government Agency on Wednesday and the representative was unable to speak fluent English ! I’m not making that up, it’s not acceptable and it made me angry

Some more Baseball Trivia this morning, listen to win Hickory Crawdads tickets ! Thanks to Powell Septic Tank Service

The Masters tees off today. It’s maybe the most storied event in all of sports. The winner will be Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, or Justin Rose. One of those three because they are best three in the world right now

Quote of the Day: “A golfer that says their approach to the Masters is like any other tournament is telling a lie”… Tiger Woods
