Here's a quickie about the recent "haps."
Laney and I have just returned from the Womens U.S. Open in Edina, MN (near Minneapolis). Several of our members here at Black Diamond Ranch (snowbirds who spend their summers in Minnesota) hosted several "others of us" to marshal the 18th hole at Interlachen C.C. As you can imagine, a great time was had. If you are interested in seeing Annika's final eagle shot, check out my www.YouTube.com/jmcgiv site. There is more on our visit there, as well. Be certain to skip any of the songs my kids and relatives have asked me to put up. (It's strictly "amateur hour" there).
My axe to grind: Since United Airlines has seen fit to "halve" most retirees' pensions so they may ostensibly stay in business (they've said this off and on for a half century, though it's true that 9-11 and the fuel crunch has had their considerable effect), Laney and I have searched for "alternate income." Real estate, being what it's been for the last year or two means--we're still looking! A BLOG, such as this, may be one way to garner interest in our (and hopefully your) major and/or minor endeavors, such as REAL ESTATE, GOLF, AVIATION/airplanes/airlines, money-making OPPORTUNITIES, as well as a few other sundry, random items--about every few weeks. We promise to keep it to a minumum so as not to clutter your inbox, so give it a chance. But always feel free to "opt-out" with a quick reply to jimgive@gmail.com.
There will always be lots of free interesting stuff, but possibly an occasional "shameless ad." (None today).
Todays "quickie" includes a few URLs you may wish to peruse:
I got a kick out of a comment from the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml9WT7hLq0g video I put up. (Unfortunately, I was advised to add a "watermark" on it, as reason to be immune from any suit by putting up possible proprietary TV scenes, etc. (so forget that), but read the next paragraph first::
Doofus0123 has made a comment on Annika's Historic eagle approach at the U.S. Open. (I love the guy's e-mail name--"Doofus"). He says, "I'm not even a golf follower/fan and even I thought that was awesome!" (If the blue underlined phrase above doesn't "work," try the YouTube one--last paragraph above. (It's also imbedded in the URL in the very first paragraph, after a brief search. Read the "more" comments to the right of the videos).
With the market yoyo-ing the way it's been lately, check out this freebie. (Hopefully, we won't get a bunch of spam trying to sign us up, but I wouldn't bet on it. Opt-in at your own risk): http://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/11b52401ea80d542
That's it for today. The last was not a "shameless ad," as it's nothing I necessarily recommend or tout--just info only.
