Screenshot Last Sunday Miss and I went to a tiny church in Napa Valley. Gilbert was the guest preacher from Fresno. He taught us well. He reminded us of the value of our name. Gave us a history lesson on the very old school approach of ancient Israel and how they trained their young. It … Continue reading Scottish…

Today, these boys rode 57 miles on what used to be country roads. The pic above was taken in Johnstown, the sleepiest of towns until Intel decided to move in.

Back in 1921 a group of Americans & Brits gathered at … Continue reading Ryder cup pressure…
