The weekend of the Masters has traditionally marked the beginning of the golf season in New England. Many see the perfect condition and the great golf being played in Augusta and think it's time to break out the sticks after a long snowy winter. It's like January 1st and people hitting the gym but in this case it's hitting the links.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The war the Arab world is watching. Good points by the author but feel its not a pro-Iranian or anti-Israel argument in the West that's driving the narrative but TDS. As pointed out the reality is completely different.
- Was curious what Jordan Peterson thought about possible Albertian independence and found this: Canada must offer more to Alberta than Trump would.
- As soon as I hit the lottery.
- 34 ships and $65.8 is nothing to sneeze at. It's time to build.

Congrats to Rory McIlroy on his back-to-back victory at the Masters yesterday by beating Scottie Scheffler by a single stroke. Rory now enters that rare air of not just golf greats known by a single name like Arnie, Jack, and Tiger but also worldwide celebrities like Bono or Madonna, Well deserved!

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Rory McIlroy is still tied up on the Masters leader board with Cam Young at -11. Rory had a bumpy Saturday while trying to win back-to-back green jackets. Can you truly be a wire-to-wire champion if you were tied for the lead on two days of the tournament? Also you know all the golfers are aware Scottie Scheffler is lurking 4 strokes back at -7. Should be a great Sunday.

Don't be surprised if VP JD Vance takes a hard line with the Iranians in the peace negotiations in Pakistan. Politically allowing Vance to appear serious is wise politically and the mullahs real don't have any cards to play. In reality they're fighting for either minor concessions or death from above. Don't be surprised if another venue is chosen either - so the Pakistanis know they need to make this time work as well. That subtly puts them on our side.

Yesterday kicked off the Masters with last year's champion Rory McIlroy sharing 1st with Sam Burns are -5 at the end of the day. Could we see not just a back to back champion but doing it wire to wire? Can't help but think that the champion usually seems to be sitting back in the pack around E after the first day. We shall see.

College Football Thoughts
Some offseason college football thoughts and observations. The post on Substack is mostly about the proposed 5-year eligibility rule.
Was having these thoughts anyway and figured I may as well write them down and share on Substack.

Today is the first day of the Masters. Know what I'll be watching starting at 1:00. Don't bet on the outcomes of golf matches because they are so unpredictable but do like watching (and playing). Enjoy!

JetBlue, Delta, United Airlines and others have all raised their checked bag fees due to the rise in fuel prices. These are the type of fees that don't come down - even when fuel prices come back to pre-war levels. Look for the fight for overhead space to get even more heated as people stuff even more into their carry-on bags. Airplanes just got even more cramped.
