Climate Change

This year the televised PGA tour season had a “rough” start.

Only three weeks into a new season, two tournaments out of three were delayed due to the inclement weather. The blustering trade wind had shortened the first tournament, The Hyundai Tournament of Champions, in Hawaii, to only three rounds. And a week after, the thick fog in southern California debunked the entire third round of the Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday. So far for the PGA golfers, the weather had not been very kind to them.

As the times go by, it looks to me that Mother Nature had intervened. And I totally agreed with the insightful comments from one of the CBS reporters on the course. While waiting for the play to resume on Saturday, he suggested the tour commissioner worries less on belly-putters but more on issues such as weather condition. In recent years, the weather patterns did become more unpredictable and volatile. I would think these unforseen delays due to bad weather are costly propositions to both the sponsors and the players. - Ayee

Timely Reminder

One of my dear family members manages her medications well. She does not skip a dosage or take her med at the wrong time.

And this is what she did to help her take the pills her doctor had ordered. She enlisted the help of a humble alarm clock.

Like everyone else, she set her alarm clock each day so she will not over sleep in the morning. Now she also sets her clock to remind herself when it’s the time for her to take her next scheduled dosage. And so far, it seems to be working for her! - Ayee
