Midnight winds gusting between 35 and 50 miles per hour failed this time to damage our front yard acacia. Last winter a big blow ripped a major limb from its trunk. Subsequent trimming and prunings have lightened the young tree's wind resistance and now the slimmer, trimmer version is taking on all comers. While you're at it, note the new paint job on the house. It is called "Shady," which is a sort of boring gray that is approved by the board of socialists running the neighborhoods. Our pal and swing coach Leno Masolini admires it from across the street, this morning while dressed in a heavy storm coat and coordinated wool stocking cap pulled over his ears to ward off the morning's 50 degree near-chill. The big baby whimpers over what he considers unseasonable weather. He won't be joining the golfers today, preferring a dental appointment and some quality internet time on a Yahoo sports site where they are discussing the lack of player respect for Coach Brad Childress and, of course, Tiger's trip to a Mississippi clinic to treat his sex addiction.
We report, you decide.
