Golf Clubs Closing

All around the nation, the economic impact of the recession has forced many tough decisions. One industry that has had its troubles is the golf course industry. Rising costs of the upkeep of the courses has driven up initiation fees. Membership in many courses has dramatically declined. It seems that not as many people are playing golf as before.

In the days when times were good, many courses were built. This has led to an oversupply of courses in some areas. I am sure that the balance between players and courses will soon even out. Golf is a great game and there will always be a place for it.

Eat shrimp

The oil spill in the gulf has had a tremendous impact on the fishermen who make their living there. The price of shrimp has dropped as consumers are afraid that the shrimp are contaminated. This has caused the fishermen to be leery about going out and making a catch. They don’t know if the price is high enough to make a profit.

I happen to believe that the shrimp is good. There were many areas that were not touched by the oil. I plan to help these people out by ordering some Louisiana shrimp. I hope everyone will also support these people and get them back on their feet.

Acing the test

My daughter has entered into her first year of college. We are all so proud of her and we hope she does well. She is very smart in many ways and has pretty good study habits. The only area of weakness she has is in mathematics. She struggles at times with the subject and we have had to get her help from time to time. It’s worked out well so far as we found a great way for her to get the help she needs.

When she was in high school, she would go after class to a tutor. The problem was that it interfered with her work schedule. She would also miss the bus so we would have to drive her home. It was inconvenient. We found a site online called tutorvista.com that allowed her to get help on her own time. She could do her homework at night when she had time.

Make no mistake; the subject of math can be difficult. Trying to find an Acute triangle can be hard. There are also other tasks such as working with a Line segment or Indices that can become very confusing. With this new tool at her disposal, she is quickly becoming proficient in the subject of math. I know she will go on to have a great future now that she can ace her math tests.

Helping a friend

We all know that life is precious. That’s why it can be painful to us when a friend has a disease. One of my best friends has a disease that is called Multiple Sclerosis. This disease has changed her life dramatically for her and the people around her. While as of yet there is no cure, the good news is that the disease can be combated using a variety of techniques.

While I have heard of the disease before, I didn’t really know much about it. I went online to find out more about it. I found a website called allaboutms.com that provided me with an overview of the disease. I found information on such items as Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms and Multiple Sclerosis News. The site was very helpful to me in understanding the things my friend was going through.

Now that I am better informed, I feel I am in a better position to lend support and guidance to my friend. I believe I can help her regain control over her life and help mitigate the effects of the disease. I will be there for my friend and support her every chance I get. We all only get one life and making it the best it can be is crucial. I am glad I can help one person make her life better.

Football

One thing I love about this time of year is the fact that football season is here. The preseason is starting and I can be found in front of the TV watching the games. I will once again root for my favorite team the Washington Redskins. I hope well have a better year than last.

Whatever happens, I enjoy the game and am glad we will all have something to talk about every Monday morning. I wish your teams the best of luck this year. That is of course unless your team is playing the Redskins!!

Wolves and us

For many years, the gray wolf was a key part of the ecology in the western United States. They lived along side the other animals and made sure that other species were kept healthy and strong by eliminating the weak. That all changed when farmers and ranchers moved in to raise cattle and pigs.

The wolf population was decimated and they were all but extinct. Strict laws were enacted to restore their population and their numbers have risen. Now some states are claiming that the wolf population is too high and they want to hunt some of the animals to keep their numbers down. The courts are scheduled to rule on this matter shortly and we will wait to see what the results are.

A sense of style

This summer has been a good one for us. While the weather has been a little on the hot side, we have still managed to use our yard to great effect. I have had several barbeques and have invited many of my friends over to enjoy the food. What was really surprising was that many of these people have commented on the fiberglass planters that we have on the deck. They like the way they look and the fact that they are built to last.

I believe it was my daughter who first came up with the idea to get them. She had seen a fiberglass planter at a friend’s house and had to have one. We checked them out on the internet and found that there were many different ones to choose from. You can choose from many sizes, shapes, or colors. You can also get your fiber glass planter shipped to you for free. It’s a great deal.

We like the way our house looks now that we have the ability to add plants where ever we want them. They make the place look so much better and are set off by every fiber glass planter that holds them. I am glad we are so lucky to have a daughter who has such a good sense of style.

Majority

One thing that is particular to America is that the majority rules. This is the way our founding fathers set up our nation and it has served us well over the years. This years coming election will be important for both the democrats and republicans. There are many seats available and no one knows who will get the majority.

The GOP is campaigning hard to regain control of the house. Both sides are opening their war chest and funding massive campaign advertising. The outcome will surely affect our countries future and I hope the voters will choose wisely.
