All that we think we are.We are just a bunch of carbon units. I got the term carbon unit from the original series Star Trek. The old Earth space probe called Voyager hooked up with something else and called itself Veger. Killing all human and everything else in the universe.
I was only stopped by thinking Kirk invented it. We are a bunch of carbon units if you think about it. This probe or machine was going through the universe killing carbon units (people) because they were not perfect. As carbon units (people) cannot be perfect. Therefore they must be eliminated.
Think how many carbon unit Vegers there have been. Carbon units eliminating carbon units because they are not perfect. Many times using machines to do so.
Being carbon units we are never going to be perfect. Maybe good at something at best. Some are real good while others are not that good at all. The common denominator is that all carbon units are not perfect. And there may be a Veger out to get you.

Golf Has Lost Its Popularity And Is Another Industry Dying Out
Golf has over the years been known as a rich persons sport. But it actually was started in Scotland where people are known to be thrifty. The original venues were simply a pasture where sheep were herded. Kind of something to do when tending the herd.
Golf course specific land did not come about to later. These however did constitute a bit of wealth as it was designated for the purpose and cost money to set up and maintain. These became country clubs supported by the membership. Making urban dwellers and rural people aloof and not being able to access the golf courses. Making golf a rich man's sport. If you consider it a sport.
Then we have the miracle of the American Way kick in. Municipal courses generally set up near or within a city park. The mega wealthy of the day knew the value of a happy, healthy and content work force. So just about anyone with a few bucks could play golf. Not with the best course or equipment, but play anyway. So golf gained a following. The factory worker, retail worker and farmer could play golf. A place to play and do something you could enjoy within your budget.
In this spirit golf has had its ups and downs. When the economy was booming in the twenties it was popular. Then died in the thirties. Not much going on in the forties also with World War Two. In the Fifties and Sixties with the advent of television it became popular with the middle class. People would emulate their TV heroes making like a $1000 to win a tournament! In the 1940s a lot of them bought War Bonds with the winnings.
In the 1970s and early 1980s golf was again an obscure sport played by the few and watched on television. Look out late 1980s and early 1990s! Golf took off like a rocket. All of a sudden golf was the cool thing to do. New golf club companies popped up out of no where (meaning the equipment). This sleepy little sport went off. The sleepy little municipal course became inundated with scores of folks taking up the sport.
All of the sudden your muny (municiple) course became a hot spot. The also sleepy golf club manufacturers that made the same clubs for twenty years had to come up with new things. Game improvement clubs. These would take you from zero to hero by simply buying and using them. You also had to have the correct hat and clothes. Your old IZOD stuff from 1974 now did not cut it.
Most people rode the golf carts. but the old hard core folks still walked the course. only to be told that you have to ride. To keep up the pace you know. There were clocks on the holes telling you if you were keeping up the pace. The driver you bought last week was replaced by the next greatest thing. What a fury.
Golf shops opened up all over the nation. Club fitting. Experts. Trainer to tell you how to hit this and that. Quite an industry. Ping and Titleist had about fifty different club variations for every varible you had. Do you hit it high or low? Swing speed? How long your arms are?
The golf courses were coming up like spring weeds. Now the point of rectification is here. Golf courses are closing all over the nation.The new generation just wants to eat and play with their phones.
If the Olympics had a food eating team the US could win. Have you ever seen such a fat lazy bunch? The United States has the most fat and lazy people. And it shows.

The New Jurasic Park
The big talk is the new Jurassic Park. I mean Jurassic World. As I have not been to a theater since 1995 I will wait till it comes on SyFy or FX. Depends how long of a run or how much it makes I guess before it hits these venues.
I just watched the original on TV. Setting up a little hype for the new one starting Saturday. Laura Dern started a kind of cool fashion trend with the work boots with short pants. Looked hot to me! Ford Explorers were hot then as Jeep Wranglers. A lot of product placement. Product placement is an advertising method that is very effective.
Listening to NPR (National Public Radio) yesterday morning they were mentioning that a lot of remakes and sequels are coming out. Hollywood has always done this. I still like the original World Of The Worlds made in 1952. It had some really good special effects. The more I watch those 1950s movies, the more I realize that they had a lot of technology then. Even in the 1930s. President Roosevelt had a car phone in the 1930s.
Turner Classic Movies show silent films from the 1900 to the 1920s. Ever heard of Ben Hur before. They made it in the 1920s. So many of these movies were made in the 1920s. Remade when sound pictures came out in 1928. then to be remade again in the 1940s and 1950s. Only to be redone later. A good story deserves to be told again. A lot of films however are a one shot deal. With the understanding that they could never be made better or simply should not have been made at all.

Making The Mistake That Everything You Want And Hope For Will Be Automatic
Most of of us were not up with the thought that we would be a loser. We are under the premise that we would be successful. Maybe even change the world for the better. Hey, this is America!
So along the way we have a few hoops to jump. Maybe you weren't that good at the sport. Someone got a better grade. You fell sick with some unexpected illness. You decided to do the wrong things. It all adds up.
There are a small percentage of those trust fund babies out there where everything is automatic. But for the other 95% of us this is not going to happen. The end result is exactly commensurate to our own personal actions. No reset, no game over. But just here and now. We may have been told this time and again. As we were distracted with whatever else was going on did not care till it was too late.
So when we were running and playing only thinking for the minute things may happen that will have a great impact on your future. As animals we have to think of the future but are more focused on the here and now. It is so much fun to do this now without any disregard to the future ramifications.
You may be getting too much sun. Not eating right. Drinking too much. Smoking. Buying things you do not need. Believe me the system is set up for this. Why do you think doctors and lawyers are the best paid?
Because as humans we do stupid things. That is why prisons, doctors offices, lawyers offices, court houses and graveyards all full. We are told to do the right things. But we all have to deviate.
Just think if you started saving 10% of your income from the very start of your working life. How much would you have saved. Your old high school economics class told you about compound interest. I am a fool as I have not taken advantage of either thing. When I did I would have to cash out for an emergency.
On the other hand we are set up to fail. Those that have the strength to no be distracted by other influences are going to be successful. Most of us though make mistakes. It is hard not to. We watch TV. We are bombarded by advertisements. Our heroes are deviants. So we mess up.
If you go with a good plan you are weird. You do not do the cool things. You do not have cool things. You may not even have debt. But how cool would that be? In reality it would be very cool.
It will not be the land of milk and honey automatically. You have to work at it. It may be too late to be very successful. But never too late to be somewhat.
