Back in Birmingham

My sister and brother-in-law came home for the weekend, so I came down as well. We played golf this weekend. I played 9 holes on Friday, and 45 yesterday. I am sunburned. My shoulders hurt. My fingers feel arthritic. I’m golfed out for awhile.

But now I’m back up here, resuming the job hunt, etc., etc.

Added a new insane thought.

Yes, there really is someone this dumb…

Witness Scott Larson, 26 years old. Mr. Larson lost his baseball cap while looking at Kilauea, an active volcano on Hawaii. Mr. Larson wanted his cap back. Mr. Larson decided to go fetch his cap. By reaching over the edge of the summit crater. Mr. Larson proceeded to fall into the volcano.

As you read this article, a good question to ask yourself is this: Mr. Larson is an officer in the United States Navy. Shouldn’t there be a test or something for entrance into the military so that we can weed these people out?

Question 1. What would you do if you were right by the opening of a live volcano and your $10 baseball cap flew off toward the molten lava?

I would just let it go like any sane person.
I would go after the $10 cap like an imbecile.

Yeesh…
