FYI- California has an Open Primary ... which means that the top two candidates runoff in the general regardless of party affiliation. (Unless one candidate wins it all by securing 50% +1 of the total vote.)

FYI- There are more voters registered as “Unaffiliated” than Republicans in California.

We have a nice sunny day today with a cool breeze, just back from our walk and having a brew then over to help mum out before lunch.

Cool is something you almost certainly can't say about East Texas until MAYBE October. It's walk outside and break a sweat weather around here.

I think I'm finally recovered from my trip to CO.

In the past week, I've been averaging about 4 hours or less of sleep due to a variety of factors. (Flights, jet lag, time at the bar, kids being awake 50,000 times, etc). We went to bed at like 7:30 last night, and our kids slept the entire night. Now I feel like asuper hero.

CO was a great time. We took care of the business aspect, and we got some time at some world class breweries, too. We even squeezed in a hike to the top a relatively modest 7600 foot mountain.

(iPhone pics...my camera battery died 1 mile from the trail head...you know, where my spare batteries were safely stored)

Morning, hosers.

Still feeling a bit stabby after this morning's commute. I swear traffic has gotten worse since I got back from vacation, and I am convinced that it did so intentionally out of spite.

They're probably all jealous of your vacation.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is scanning the morning paper checking out who won and who lost in yesterday's primary. A lifetime ago, Gary used to run political campaigns, like JonA_CT, he'd get little to no sleep the week leading up to election day. The good ol' days.

@Fujidave: you mentioned having a before lunch "brew" is that a hot beverage brew ... or a brew as in a "Pint" or a "Brewski"?

Took the wife to med care station this morning. Her one eye is swelled shut the other one close to being there. She has pink eye in both eyes. She gets those eyelash thingies, that woman do, wonder if it was from that? Anyway, she's miserable. I'll be washing my hands a lot. Got golf lesson last night and learned a lot from the son in law, he is a scratch golfer. He said there is nothing wrong with my swing but my legs were too close together, causing excessive movement. He made me open my legs wider than my shoulders, straight down the middle now. Showed me a trick on pitching up on flat greens, use my 9 iron to roll in up to pin as opposed to gap wedge. Tonight we are working on my pitching with loft, and putting. He has a mirror thingy to check my alignment. I shot pretty good Monday night but I need to find consistency. He also taught me that I don't need to use a driver on many holes, think about playing safe and getting a good second shot. He said I have so much power, that using a driver will often hinder me into difficult second shots if I skunk the drive.

I saw a moose crossing the road in front of me on the way back from town. My wife was fumbling with her camera, while I had the truck in reverse in case she lowered her head. Fortunately we were 200 ft away and she decided to follow her calf into the woods. What a beautiful girl, easily as high as my truck at the shoulders.( sorry no pics)

He was trying to exercise max control over his curve. Now the coaches told him to throw it hard ... as hard as he can and just aim for the center of the plate. Seems to be working.

I read that and it's a common thing with young pitcher's, trying to micro manage your stuff. He is gonna be a good one.

I could see a Red Sox versus dodgers World Series. Or peg versus Gary
