Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

But in the interest of keeping things in perspective, found out last night that my BIL and his family had a fire in their only bathroom. That's destroyed, and there's lots of water everywhere else from the fire dept putting it out. So they're in a serious state of limbo right now. I know they spent last night at a hotel, but I'm not sure what the plan is going forward. Initial estimates put the return to the house at around two months.

Had a neighbor's house go up (started in the garage) and they were out for about 8 months. Their insurance put them up in a hotel for a little while and eventually rented them a house nearby.

And any insurance company with any sense is trying to limit their exposure in FL because of the storm potential, government interference, etc.

I believe they have State Farm, so I think they should be ok.

Dormant right now. Went out a couple times in mid-April, but the weather has been shit here since. Hoping the forecast holds and I'll be back out there Saturday. I've played pretty well so far, if I could just straighten out my driver consistently, I'd be on to something.

Today is Tuesday, May 2, the 122nd day of 2023.
There are 243 days left in the year.



Today's highlight

On May 2, 1994, Nelson Mandela claimed victory in the wake of South Africa's first democratic elections; President F.W. de Klerk acknowledged defeat.

On this date

In 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was accidentally wounded by his own men at Chancellorsville, Virginia; he died eight days later.

In 1890, the Oklahoma Territory was organized.

In 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Buck v. Bell, upheld 8-1 a Virginia law allowing the forced sterilization of people to promote the "health of the patient and the welfare of society."

In 1932, Jack Benny's first radio show, sponsored by Canada Dry, made its debut on the NBC Blue Network.

In 1941, General Mills began shipping its new cereal, "Cheerioats," to six test markets. (The cereal was later renamed "Cheerios.")


In 1970, jockey Diane Crump became the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; she finished in 15th place aboard Fathom. (The winning horse was Dust Commander.)

In 1972, a fire at the Sunshine silver mine in Kellogg, Idaho, claimed the lives of 91 workers who succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover died in Washington at age 77.

In 1997, Tony Blair, whose new Labour Party crushed John Major's long-reigning Conservatives in a national election, became at age 43 Britain's youngest prime minister in 185 years.

In 2005, Pfc. Lynndie England, the young woman pictured in some of the most notorious Abu Ghraib photos, pleaded guilty at Fort Hood, Texas, to mistreating prisoners. (A judge later threw out the plea agreement; England was then convicted in a court-martial and received a three-year sentence, of which she served half.)

In 2010, record rains and flash floods in Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee caused more than 30 deaths and submerged the Grand Ole Opry House stage.

In 2011, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, who'd been killed hours earlier in a raid by elite American forces at his Pakistan compound, was buried at sea.

In 2018, the Boy Scouts of America announced that the group's flagship program would undergo a name change; after being known simply as the Boy Scouts for 108 years, the program would now be called Scouts BSA. (The change came as girls were about to enter the ranks.)

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama arrived in Mexico City on his first trip to Latin America since winning re-election. Dutchman Robert-Jan Derksen shot a 6-under 66 to take the first-round lead in the China Open, while 12-year-old Ye Wocheng opened with a 79 at Binhai Lake; at 12 years, 242 days, Ye became the youngest player in European Tour history, breaking Guan Tianlang's mark of 13 years, 177 days. Jeff Hanneman, 49, a founding member of heavy metal bank Slayer, died in Hemet, California.

Five years ago: Attorney Rudy Giuliani said President Donald Trump had reimbursed his personal lawyer for $130,000 in hush money paid to a porn actress days before the 2016 presidential election, comments that appeared to contradict Trump's past claims that he didn't know the source of the money. Two black men who'd been arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything settled with the company for an undisclosed sum and an offer of a free college education; they settled separately with the city for a symbolic $1 each and a promise to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.


One year ago: A draft was leaked of a Supreme Court ruling throwing out the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling that had stood for a half century. The court cautioned that the draft was not final. (The decision would be released in essentially the same form on June 24.) Russia resumed pulverizing a Mariupol steel mill that had become the last stronghold of resistance in the bombed-out Ukrainian city, after a brief cease-fire allowed the first evacuation of civilians from the plant by the International Red Cross. Those managing to escape the city described terrifying weeks of bombardment and deprivation. A fired Philadelphia police officer was charged with murder in the shooting of a fleeing 12-year-old boy, who prosecutors said was on the ground and unarmed when the officer fired the fatal shot.

It was an electrical fire. Not sure if it was faulty wiring or something that was plugged in and caused an issue. Haven't gotten those details yet. Not even sure if they know at this point.

No argument here. Though, he only has one, his fiancee's son, so with only 3 of them in the house, I'm not sure they ever encountered much of an issue. Hell, my sister, BIL and nephew live in a house with only 1 bathroom, so it's not unheard of. Though, I know she'd kill for an extra half bath.

Who wins in a fight, Jake or Flo?
Jake is pretty ripped, but I feel like Flo is someone who would try to catch you off guard by tickling you before she goes for the throat.
are guys allowed to hit a woman now?
she is a she right or is he a she too?
But maybe Flo is Trans....would make it OK in Florida.
Let's not make, ”ok in Florido" the defacto standard.

how's your golf game Dave?
What about you, still getting out there every week? Or have the dr appts taken over your normal tee time?
still playing Wednesdays and Sundays. I have a whole of new clubs, driver, 3, 5, 7 woods, a hywood (13°) 3, 4, 5 hybrids, 4-pw, 52°, 56°, 60° wedges, and putter. depending on what course I play dictates my club make up. I have them dialed in pretty good and if I can maintain my balance in my swing because of the tendon repair I can be pretty dangerous at times.

there's a new standard in Florida: take all the vacant land north of Tampa on the gulf coast and turn it into parkways, rv parks, housing, and shopping centers. they have ruined the Nature Coast here, and Crystal River now is turning into a big tourist destination.

my surgeon wants to fuse my ankle to alleviate my pain. everything in both ankles are bone on bone. looked into an ankle replacement in Tampa but because of the tendon repair they won't do. looked into nerve blocks and they are afraid it would leave unable to talk, but no pain.
was in the ER twice with heart problems just last month. I go for a chemical stress test and ultrasound next week. the new medication my cardiologist prescribed costs $600 for a 30 day supply! although she says sex in moderation is good for me and the widow lady is happy to accommodate when she can. problem is we are both old and 'moderation' is not what it once was.
according to my pulmonologist my lungs are shot. mostly from my arthritis and the 4 surgeries on my right lung in 2003-2004.
