When I was growing up our next door neighbor owned the Chevy dealership. There was always a new Corvette in our shared driveway. Those were the days when every year the new model was exciting.

The Times reports on decisions at the DoJ to decline to defend two laws. One is the Affordable Care Act. The other, which apparently has experts divided, involves a technical dispute (what makes this a Federal and not state-level offense? See BACKGROUND below.) about a 1996 ban on female genital...
Notice! Final-Round Tee Times Adjusted Due to Weather
Given the possibility of severe weather Sunday afternoon, groupings and tee times for the final round will be adjusted.
Players will be grouped in threesomes with tee times scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. off the Nos. 1 and 10 tees. The leaders will tee off at 9:20 a.m.
Gates are scheduled to open at 7:15 a.m.

“The safety of everyone on our grounds is paramount,” said Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. “We also believe the earlier start will give us the best opportunity to complete the Masters on Sunday. This decision should benefit everyone – the players, our patrons and our fans watching around the world. Given the competitiveness and drama of this year’s Tournament, we look forward to an exciting conclusion tomorrow.”

Masters questions:
What are the little red square pins that most players have on their hats?
What is the history of the little logs used on the tees?
I am using AirPlay on my iPad on the Apple TV for the first time. Pretty amazing tech.

JMH, Montana has the slogan, “The last best place.” Maybe not for long. My parents are buried in Kalispell. The sign in the cemetery reads, “The best last place.”
Love it.

Ross Douthat is excellent on the immigration box into which Trump has placed himself: Across the decade that preceded Donald Trump’s election, American politicians of both parties consistently tried to pass big, sweeping immigration bills that would legalize most of the country’s illegal populat...

Darn, They Held That Tiger
Virginia prevails over Auburn in a wild see-saw finish. Auburn was dead in the water, down ten with five minutes to go. They roared back with a 14-0 run and had Virginia dead in the water, down four with less than a minute to go. Then, the big, controversial finish. In the second game, yeah yeah...

I am so sad to hear about Pagar and Frau. I guess they can gather with the others on JustOneEternity.
Frau must have been 83 or 84. She came to the big Tea Party march in 2010 to celebrate 75, I think. She was a little spitfire even then.

When daddy was backing out of Jane’s driveway after the Sturbridge visit he hit a hydrant or some other obstruction an did some damage to the rental car. We all burst into laughter because this man drives huge planes perfectly.

Fourteen years we have known that great guy called “daddy”. I remember someone asking why he used that moniker. He answered something like, “Because that’s what my kids call me.”
He texted me once in a while when he thought he wasn’t keeping Jane in line.

So, Was The Governor of Virginina in Blackface, Or The KKK Robes?
Hard to see Gov. Northam of post-birth abortion fame surviving this blackface/KKK yearbook debacle. Having a nickname of "Coonman" isn't likely to help. If he wants to quietly resign, the Super Bowl is a great distraction. Of course, that means he has to hang on until Sunday evening.
