I wish all of the people around here had to watch it. There are many curvy mountain roads and at many intersections on the county roads you can't even see more than 100 yards down the road. Some of the problem could be reduced if the state or the county would keep the trees cleared back close to intersections and some of the problem could be reduced if people just slowed down.

There are also a lot of walkers, joggers, and bicyclists on those roads and I worry about them every time I see one. Many are wearing ear phones and listening to music and they don't even hear a car coming. When I run or walk I don't listen to music for that very reason. My wife does and when she walks with me I have to motion to her that a car is coming and to get off of the road.

I do my best to not drive faster than my reaction distance for the visibility ahead but many of my friends don't. Some may not "care" (or think nothing is going to happen) but some probably never really think about it.

I always drive slower on local country roads. And give cyclists, runners, plenty of passing room, I know what it's like as a cyclist to get passed at close proximity at high speeds. I think one of the reasons I'm a better driver is that I'm an active cyclist and runner and I know this POV well. I'm generalizing, but in the city where I ride, suburban drivers are the worst at dealing with cyclists because they're not used to seeing them. They expect you to stop on a dime - hello, handbrakes?

Another thing is tailgaters. Going 60-75mph, only 10 feet or less distance behind, 4-5 cars stacked this way. You see a bunch of cars on the side during a traffic jam, with bumper damage because they tailgate like crazy.

Self driving cars - can't wait. Forget flying cars, people can't handle their low tech cars now.

Perfect for a Monday morning.

I didn't realize the Roomba was that powerful. That cat looks to be 8-10 pounds? Not counting the shark suit, ha ha. Didn't slow down the Roomba at all.

I need @Lihu to rig up something for my 76 lb. dog. He needs a new gimmick for his FB page. Yes... My dog has a Facebook page and he is more popular than I am.

The motors can do 1m/s or more in plush carpet. It's limited for safety reasons. I should ask about our new motors, but the focus is on cleaning efficiency. We want to continue to kick everyone's butt in cleaning performance even with big name competitors coming into the picture.

I never knew Tiger Woods ad libbed the tackle in this old Nike commercial. This is an outtake. They all get the funnies afterwards. So that's how he screwed up his knee! :-$

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
