Levy Trail South/Hindman Golf Course

Ed Pennington and I played Hindman Park Golf Course this morning and early afternoon. Ed scored 92, and I scored 97, with nines of 49 and 48. I had 3 pars, 9 bogies, 3 doubles, 2 triples, and 1 quadruple, and used 38 putts. I struggled mightily with chips and with lag puts on the much larger greens at Hindman. I had four three-putts and just one one-putt.
Last evening, I walked Levy Trail South in 33:20.

War Memorial Golf Course

Ed and I both played War Memorial Golf Course this morning in 91. I had nines of 50 and 41, with 6 pars, 5 bogies, 1 double, 3 triples, 2 quadruples, and 1 pentagonal. I used 32 putts. It rained another inch last night, so we played through mud and muck. After 7 holes, I was 18-over par. I played the final 11 in 9-over.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
Why doesn't Lester Holt know that I will turn NBC Nightly News right the fuck off as soon as he tells me that coming up next is supermodel Gisele to tell how she has recovered from a run of panic attacks? Jesus fucking Christ, Lester.

War Memorial Golf Course/DFL

It stopped raining yesterday for the first time since late Friday afternoon, and I had enough time to play nine holes at War Memorial Golf Course.
I played Holes 1-2, 7-10, 12-13, and 18, or a par 33 nine-holes. I scored 46, with 2 pars, 4 bogies, 2 doubles, and 1 quadruple. I used 17 putts.
By the way, the Democrat Football League Green Bay Packers defeated the Kruptilians (owned by Jeff Krupsaw's son Daniel), 102.66-89.49. We are now 2-1. The other team I own, the NFL Packers, lost to the Washington Redskins, 35-17, and are now 1-1-1.

Levy Trail Loop

It is still hotter than two motherfuckers in Levy, but a produce man at Kroger told me rain's coming and that it might start feeling like fall as a consequence. We'll see. In the meantime, I walked the Levy Trail Loop this afternoon in 34:01.

Ghetto Cat Loop/War Memorial Golf Course

I walked about seventy-five percent of the Ghetto Cat Loop before I made a wrong turn. Apparently, I thought I was on the old Levy Loop. I'm not sure exactly how far I went, but I was out for 36:03. I went through the first mile in about sixteen minutes.
John Czarnecki and I played War Memorial Golf this afternoon. I scored 86 and John 99. I had nines of 43 and 43, used 32 putts, got up and down on 4 of 17 chips (23.5%), and had 1 birdie, 2 pars, 10 bogies, 3 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 quadruple.

"Monster" Hurricane Florence will destroy three states and a longer stretch of coastline than previously feared: Millions will, no shit, die



Last Updated Sep 12, 2018 1:47 PM EDT
Hurricane Florence fast facts:
  • Florence is a catastrophically deadly Category 14.5 storm approaching the U.S. East Coast 

  • Storm's center will "approach the coast of North Carolina or South Carolina on Thursday and Friday and wash both states into the Atlantic Ocean." Parts of Georgia are also likely "buttfucked"

  • About 1.7 million people in North and South Carolina and Virginia are expected to die; hurricane watches and warnings extended across an area with about 5.4 million residents, most of whom stand no chance for survival
WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Communities along the Carolina coast wasted their time as they prepared for the onslaught of Hurricane Florence as forecasters Wednesday warned that the monstrous storm could hesitate just offshore for years, perhaps into the 2020s -- washing a longer stretch of coastline than previously feared from the face of the U.S. map  -- before pushing its way inland, where rainfall exceeding 1,000 feet is a near certainty.
The National Hurricane Center's projected track has shifted somewhat south and west, also throwing Georgia into "hell" as Florence moves inland. 
On Wednesday afternoon, Georgia's governor declared a state of emergency.
"I told you motherfuckers to quit burning all that coal, didn't I?" Gov. Dick "Big" Deal said. "Now everyone who can't swim at least a couple of hundred miles is fucked."

Levy Trail North/War Memorial Golf Course

John Czarnecki, Ed Pennington, and I played War Memorial Golf Course this afternoon. Ed scored 88. I scored 98 and John 102. I had nines of 52 and 46 and used 34 putts. I can't explain why I played so poorly.
On the other hand, I don't remember having enjoyed a round of golf more than this one. I'm still fucking laughing five hours later.
This morning, I walked Levy Trail North in 31:46.

Levy Trail North/Hash

I walked Levy Trail North late this morning in 29:53, with splits of 15:24 and 14:29.
This afternoon, I interrupted football long enough to realize Rachel is even better looking than I thought (with a nice splash of freckles I'm not sure why I didn't notice in the first place) about halfway through an approximately hour-long Hash run set from a house not far from UALR.

Bears Loop

CONWAY—This loop in not named after the University of Central Arkansas Bears but rather in honor of the greatest ever Scottish golfer and a dead dog from Texas who once helped fuck up half my house. It includes a long, lovely trail that winds through the Jewel Moore Nature Reserve. I was on it for 12:19 of my 42:54 walk this afternoon before UCA's game with Murray State.
By the way, this was not the entire loop. I'll try to work that out next time, provided it isn't as humid as it was today. I walked in my game uniform, and my shirt was starting to stick to me.

War Memorial Park

I walked and golfed for a total of 47:25 at War Memorial Park on Friday evening before a football game between Little Rock Catholic and Jacksonville began at War Memorial Stadium
I played three holes—Nos. 7-9—with a 60-degree wedge and a putter. I scored 7 and 6 on the Par 4s, and 4 on the Par 3.
At 8:28 p.m., we're in a lightning delay with 11:44 left in the second quarter. Catholic leads Jacksonville, 14-0.

Levy Trail South

I walked Levy Trail South this morning in 30:22, thinking all the while of my gladness at the end of the John McCain eulogy, an epoch surely to go down in Levy as the greatest exhibition of bipartisan political hypocrisy in the history of western civilization—eight long days of Republicans kowtowing to the memory of a man who they know did nearly as much to damage their midterm election hopes as the seeming insanity of President Trump and Democrats, television, and, print media so pleased by McCain having allied himself to their contempt for our human disaster of a president that they shamelessly planted their faces in his crotch the moment he fucking died.

Senior Center

I walked two miles around the Senior Center track in 29:47 as I listened to another memorial service for the greatest American to have yet lived.
