Last Monday Tiger Woods returned to Torrey Pines in beautiful San Diego, but not to golf. Instead he caddied for John Abel, winner of the “Tee Off With Tiger” online sweepstakes sponsored by Buick. This is such a great picture that I can’t help but fill in some dialogue. Mine is below. What do you hear them saying?
Abel: “This looks like a tough one Tiger. What would you do here?”
Tiger: “Well, I would push this putt along a path eleven inches left of the true line, with just enough touch to clear the fringe but still allow the natural slope of the green to pull the ball back and down, dropping into the hole dead center… I have no idea what you are going to do.”

On the radio over the weekend, they discussed a survey that had come out about gas prices and people’s habits. It was reported that 20% of those responding said they would drive 10 miles out of their way to save 5 cents per gallon on gas…
For those of us that are mathematically disinclined, the average car would require an 80 gallon tank just to make that little investment break even.
For me, that survey response is not the scary part. The scary part is… how many of these people vote?

Originally posted on BloodhoundBlog, this post references a dust-up that occurred over there (as will happen from time to time when you gather together so many high-powered thinkers and writers). I kept it here simply because I love the humor of the picture.
Dear Sis,
Thought I would catch you up while you are away at college.
You know how I LOVE FAMILY GATHERINGS, especially the BloodhoundBlog family. Well it has been an interesting couple of days lately. That crazy cousin Barry showed up; remember him? He’s the one that tries to agitate everyone over the dinner table. This got Uncle Russell going. You know sis, he has become so successful that we all look to him for approval. Anyway, he doesn’t talk much but when he does he brings the thunder and – you can probably see it coming – he thundered all over cousin Barry. Finally, Dad had to give everyone a time out. We never even got to have dessert.
In the past I have found there is no better way to bring the family back together than by uniting them in a common enemy. So I suggested we direct our vitriol where it belongs… AT THESE TWO GUYS!
Think of the efficiency: Everyone you love to hate – under one roof!
That’s it from the home front. I enjoyed the text book you sent me: The Rise and Fall of Real Estate: A Case Study in the Application of Discriminate Disintermediation. The funniest text book I have ever read. Keep up the studies.
See you in the funny papers,
Your loving older brother.
