It is kind of funny how Mark McGuire and Jose Conseco were vilified, but Tiger, deified.

In his peak years, he was spitting on the green, next to the hole, where others would have the ball roll through. Pretty disgusting. I bet he didn’t do that before steroids.

I wonder what part global warming played in this crash. He wasn’t driving a green EV.

I could crank the ball about 300 years in my twenties and early thirties, if I wanted too. But the swing was so aggressive, accuracy was sacrificed.

I’m about 5’8, and credit the distance to my flexibility and the power in my legs. And technique, a perfect draw with a great top spin.

Being smaller, it was fun out driving everyone I golfed with. For a while, my golf buddies called me Tiger. Many times I hit par five greens in two strokes. Moon shots with the irons.

Now, I just thank god can play, hit it 250 down the middle and concentrate on the score. If the temp gets down under 60, my back will cramp.

More than 3500 pounds, moving 80 MPH downhill.

If I remember right, Einstein’s theory says an object actually gains more mass or weight as it moves faster and stores energy.

3500 pounds moving downhill on wheels, like a launched missile. Waiting for a tree to slow it down.

He was running a half hour late, so it seems he may have been trying to get to the Riviera GC at warp speed. If he had just called on the cell phone, and said I’m stuck in traffic, he would walking around today, enjoying his life. And thank god the billionaire didn’t kill anyone.

Was it steroids that Tiger was doing?

Maybe that’s how he bulked up in his late twenties.

He went from a skinny string bean to a muscle bound hulk in an about one year.

E = MC squared.

When a car is moving downhill, with the energy is gains because of it’s mass, I bet its relative weight becomes magnified, multiplied by some number. Like TNT with a lit fuse.

My daughter launched a car in these Pennsylvania hills, speeding down a hill. Every window blown out, all air bags deployed. By some miracle, she didn’t have a scratch. She was sitting in an ambulance, in shock, about 18 years old. I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a broken bone. Thank god.

But these hills, with a car, dangerous as hell if you speed. One bounce, the wheels are in the air, and thats it. A runaway train with no steering.

Was he wearing a mask?

That is the most critical question.

Nicklaus was great. He could really hit the ball hard in his twenties.

He was hitting it with persimmon woods and golf balls that didn’t fly as far. I have an old set of persimmon woods, and I would say I get about 50 more yards with the metal driver. Plus, its just hard to het the sweet spot. In his day, with modern equipment, he would have given Tiger a run for his money with distance.

Tiger wrecked his back and his knee to gain distance. I think if he was more careful, smarter, he could have matched Nicklaus. There is no way he can do it now.

I recently saw him mocking Trump on come comedians show. Kind of a nasty comment, trying to be funny.

I guess Jack Nicklaus will hold the record, with 18 majors.
Tiger has 14.

They said he’s getting his legs operated on. This could be the end of his career.

Harris will give it, North Korean style.

Fawning press, and all who do not fawn, investigated for ties to Russia, treated with FISA warrants and IRS audits.

I live in PA, north of Philly. We get bitter cold air temps, first few weeks of January. 0 to 15 degrees.

It probably gets 20 percent less miles in cold weather. If I dont pre-warm the batteries, and its like 15 degrees, it barely moves. Very little power. But I pre-warm for about 10 minutes, and its perfect. I set the car seats to low heat and the heater to 68 degrees, low speed fan. So on a hot day, maybe 200 miles on a charge, with the 2 gallons of gas. On a cold day, maybe 150 miles.

Its not for everybody, but think of the maintenance saving.

I use almost no braking. I can stop this thing just using the regeneration. I can drive this thing for 50 miles, and never touch the breaks. So, virtually no break jobs. Period. No oil changes. Transmission, no gear changes, just press the pedal. Fast or slow.

So Maintenance, it’s just batteries. Expensive, but going down in price every year.

So I laughed at these cars too. Then I took a test drive after talking to a guy who has a chevy bolt. He loves it.

After driving it, and the thought of almost zero maintenance, I said thats it, buy one.

If you live in Minnesota and drive 200 miles a day, in the cold, its not for you. I typically do less than 150 a day. But I will be driving it for about 1000 miles in a few weeks. I’ll stop a few times for a half hour for a DC charge. 80 percent charge in a half hour. Then overnight charges at hotels. That the key. When you sleep, the car is always recharging. So its always fully charged, every day. Its a mind set, you get used to it really quick.

If I had the 40K, I’d drop it on a new electric Volkswagon suv. It looks awesome. Maybe next year!

When its cold, the BMWi3 that I have, it pumps warm air around the battery. So I keep it plugged in and let it warm for 10 minutes before I drive. I do it through a phone app as I have my coffee.

The future is here.

I had purchased solar panel stock about two years ago. If I remember right, It jumped about 800 percent in the last six month.

I thought EV’s were a joke until I drove one.

I love my BMWi3. It has a range extender, a generator, with a two gallon tank.

Fast as heck, about 190 horse power. Carbon fiber body. Sunroof, leather.

The thing with EV’s, your always on a “full tank” every morning. After driving it for a few months, I became a believer. The 2021 Volkswagon looks awesome. 40K for an SUV. Put some solar panels on the roof, done buying gas.

I’m thinking the next communist march we will see a backlash. People have been holding back, thinking they could correct things at the ballot box. They were wrong. Four or five cities now dictate who is in the oval office.

Amy Klobuchar, an educated idiot. The education can’t undo the idiocy. Dumb as a rock.

Depends on the trip and car.

My BMWi3, I can set the car temp and battery temp by using my android phone while the car is plugged in in the garage.

No doubt, if it’s ice cold, its a slow car until the battery is up to operating temp. You know it.

After you drive these cars you love them. I was a sceptic, but I love these things now.

I have a BMW i3, and it has a two gallon generator for when the battery gets low. It will go about 80 miles on the gas.

I’ll be taking that car on a 1000 mile ride in a few weeks.

Its about 180 horse power, carbon fiber body. Fast as hell. I love driving it.

Mitch needs to retire and enjoy all that money from communist china.

I would call Kamala Harris.

Why was she promoting riots during the election season?

Why is she not impeached.

Call Joe Biden. Why was he allowing his VP to call for Violence? Why did he call for violence?

Then Pelosi... on and on. Lets do it.
