Down by the club house there must be 30 golfers waiting for their tee off time . Some sit on the steps and take in the view. Others nervously pace back and forth. Two American gentlemen enjoying the sacerdotal side of golf sit and happily repeat the words ' Wow oh wow ' over and over.
Dogs and children pause to enjoy the sunshine on their morning walk.
The world is on a crash course in American domestic politics. This morning the BBC radio news programme provides an insight into the unusually rich and varied life of one Ms. Laura Loomer. 'Goodness ' says The Font when the item ends. Ms. Loomer is 31 , has 'unorthodox' views about many things and is big on Rumble - a social media platform that until now we were both unaware existed. She also believes herself to be an expert on National Security.

That Golden Retriever really wants to say hello... did you? YAM xx
As an American, I sincerely apologize that you have been forced to learn who Laura Loomer is. The timeslip story reminded me of Dr. Who. A warning for Tokyo - there are Hubs there as well, but best to be avoided: http://www.eok.jp/restaurants-bars/group/chain/hub
Yes. Dogs seem to recognize 'dog' people.
I bet a few tears are shed at the sight of hallowed ground each day.
The "mystery worshipper" link was interesting. Looking at the world today, Jeremiah 12:5 seems very appropriate: If you have run with the footmen and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?
Just trying to understand how any part of golf can be spiritual . . .
I think being moved emotionally by an experienced of beauty or something you've longed to experience over many years, and taking it all in, and maybe feeling gratitude can be a spiritual experience. I certainly said wow, wow, wow when I saw Joni Mitchell last October at the Hollywood Bowl. I often say wow when viewing Angus' photos. The beauty often moves me and takes me out of my mundane and agitated present...
I can understand being emotionally moved by a lifelong golfer who realizes his dream of finally playing St. Andrews. It takes one to know one!
The “mystery worshiper” link was quite interesting.
Thanks for all!
Many tears were shed in Vilnius, Lithuania for the four American servicemen that died there. Crowds lined the route to honour the servicemen’s. No tears were shed and no words were said at the all important golf game attended by the American president. The optics were lost on him. Shameful.
