I just got back from the East Coast. What a relief to not be in that scrum.

No Way I would go live in that willingly.

Don't even want to visit NYC, LA, or San Fran, even if it was all free. Been to all of those many times in the past and it was wonderful, but they have all devolved into shitholes these days.

Such a shame.  As a kid I was mesmerized by NYC and the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg., Times Square, Rockefeller Center, fancy restaurants. It was a city that drew people in, now it's a city that pushes people out..

I live in Orange County, Ca. and I have avoided going to any large city like Lost Angels, San Franshitco and even downtown Santa Ana or the like. I hate crowds and dealing with large groups of idiots.

ALL built using western money.

When  discussing the morality/values of the leadership,there is damn  little moral difference between the upper-level Communists and the upper level Capitalists. Both want to rule the world.

Very nice.  Such a perfect summary of why I hate golf.

I bought a sack of golf balls from a guy at one of the tables at a gun show where people sell all sorts of odds and ends. He said "heading for the range"?

I said "Yep! My granddaughter loves knocking these around with the Sig."

Oh.

He meant 'driving range'. :shrug:

Never played golf in my life.

@Smokin Joe

I honestly thought I was the only one that liked to do that.

Started doing in when I was working at a golf course and finding stray golf balls that had been hit by a mower or otherwise damaged. I liked to scatter them around in the yard and then spin around and snap shoot at them with  my  combat commander.

A LOT more fun and satisfying that shooting at a paper target.

Do NOT do this if your ego beats you up if you miss an occasional shot!

Oooh!  New game:  set up one of those miniature practice putting greens one finds at most golfcourse club houses, then everyone gets a ball and a .22 pistol, and they have to sink their ball into each of the holes - in order - using just the .22.

Gives whole new meaning to "shooting a round of golf".
