Weekly Off-Topic I had the best weekend, you guys. The season has turned and we had the first day of really pleasant weather since the end of summer. It was so nice to be outside and the trees outside my apartment have these pretty, white spring blooms. On Friday, I played golf and finally cracked a plateau that's been frustratingly impenetrable for about 6 months. I played again on Sunday except this time I obliterated that personal best. I effectively dropped 7 shots in 2 days. On Saturday, I went for a drive to a local race track that was hosting a classic racecar demonstration event, which was excellent. What was great was that this event has historically been held in the city and, despite paying taxes for the use of the park lands, the government has always felt it just to charge a fee for hosting it. They love the taxation extraction part, but they seem to feel the providing-services-in-exchange part needs improvement. It was cancelled last year as a part of some "general cost cutting," though they saw fit to raise my taxes anyway ... but this year a guy who has built a world class race track out of town hosted it and, not only was parking and entry free, you could park right next to the track and watch from your car rather than pay $20 for parking on top of your ticket and then walk 2km to the event. Statists absolutely BTFOed. They must be seething right now. Despite all that, I found the time to got some odd jobs done including fixing a leak in my sink and patching some holes in my doors. Fat people spent the weekend watching TV and complaining that they don't have time to go to the gym. The only thing that went wrong all weekend was I missed the moment my odometer read 111,111. I've been waiting for that since cracking 100,000.
