Relative cost is a very honest indicator of how green something is. Cost ultimately summarizes how much total energy was used both directly and indirectly, and the total pollution created. Although not intended for that purpose, a cost of living index accidentally shows that living in a high density city is much less green overall than living in the suburbs, even with the expense of a well manicured lawn.

In other news, Kaymer’s collapse in Abu Dhabi lets in Stal for maiden victory. Rory comes from far behind to take second.

WOW! As they say- "That's why they play the game."

I follow the tours a lot and I've never even heard of Gary Stal. But he will certainly be moving up from # 435 in the world ranking.

That would be 25 on the stempmeter. We’ll be chipping into the hole.

I follow golf avidly. Tried playing but I’m too astigmatic to find the ball…but love the sport. Individual effort is much more interesting to me than team sports. The Seattle who’s?

Besides McIlroy, there are several young players now who could turn into uberchamps, makes the game more fun to watch than when Tiger ruled.

No. It was a couple of people that didn’t speak English too well. They were pleasant enough and we understood what they were saying. Was easier to cut my son’s lawns back then one day not find him.

I agree. I like the drama of the sports where a person has to do well or go home with no paycheck. Golf and cycling replaced the NFL and NBA in viewing pleasure for me many years ago.
