TIS THE SEASON PEEPS
Reminds me, you know those little golden fishes you get as crackers, not sure the correct name of those slippery little suckers, but anywho...
Try those Golden Fishes in Pumpkin Spice...
Hell, try anything in Pumpkin Spice...

“Fanaticism is always harmful, especially in politics and religion, and even more so when they intersect. This week in Afghanistan, the Taliban enforced a law banning women from speaking in public, adding to the many oppressive measures they have imposed on the Afghan people. In the United States, far-right Christians who see Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as their messiahs are planning a similar version of the Taliban's Sharia law, known as Project 2025.

NOVELLAS
After watching Bun Man and Mr. Purple live in and among the apes, swing from the trees, and pound their chests and yell "Come and get your ya ya's out"; Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the novella "Tarzan of the Apes" which was published for the first time on this date in 1912.
YA YA
ON this date in 1990 - Stevie Ray Vaughn and three members of Eric Clapton's band were killed in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple heard the news and just sat in their Beverly Hills living room and wept as the Blues lost a great one that day.
The Boyz played Texas Flood for hours and hours that day in tribute.
ON this date in 1660 - The books of John Milton were burned in London due to his attacks on King Charles II.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, book editors for the New London Press, sat in horror.
Not because his works were burned, but because the SOBs didn't include 'Paradise Lost' which damned future high schoolers to years of tedious review of his boring work.
His wife thought him boring too...
BUT English teachers loved giving his assignments as they loved torture anyway.
ON this date in 1921 - The owner of Acme Packing Company bought a pro football team for Green Bay, WI.
J.E. Clair paid tribute to those who worked in his plant by naming the team the Green Bay Packers.
(NFL) Original Cheeseheads Bun Man and Mr. Purple, were ecstatic..."We got our own team..."
And the legacy lives on in Green Bay, still the epitome of what a professional team should be in any town or city-state...
THE ROAD, SOMETIMES...GETS STRETCHED
Bopsie: Two of us wearing raincoats, Standing solo in the sun
Mopsie: You and me chasing paper, Getting nowhere on our way back home, We're on our way back home, We're on our way home
Bopsie: We're going home???
Mopsie: You and I have memories, Longer than that road that stretches out ahead, and if you don't start remembering more, that road home will keep stretchin...Feel me, playa
Bopsie: Feelin' ya, girl...
NOW MORE THAN EVER...STAY THE COURSE
Ken-Dogger: Hey Max, good boy…
Max: I got a good boy already, what did I do?
KD: You’re finding your way, you’re looking out for obstacles…but you’re finding your way.
M: Yes, I’m staying the course…
KD: That’s right, wish peeps would learn from you…there may be obstacles, but you need to stay the course.
M: Instead of being the first one to jump off or seek advantage?
KD: Yes, stay the course for all of us, not just some…
Morning Peeps,
Had a nice time in Mesquite yesterday and yes, it does give me an opportunity to go to a different dispensary for goodies.
Playing in the Men's league today, and then no golf until next Tuesday.
What's a fella to do?
Guess I'll just fill it with a trip to Denver to see my beloved Orioles, then back through Escalante, and then home.
And guess what?
W.E.B. Du Bois died on this date in 1963
"The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression."
- W.E.B. Du Bois
Playing a new course down in Mesquite today...
Mesquite closes their courses for most of September so now is the time to enjoy and get in some cheap golf before High Season prices return.
Peace Love Dove GOLF Peeps
