Started at 70°, cloudy skies, and a pretty stiff 13 mph breeze. I was joined on #3 by a guy that I know, but he just doesn't shut up. He carried on a monologue about his money until #13 tee. He made the mistake by saying the the US would save a lot of money if they didn't pay the military retirees! Can you believe that?! I lost my cool then and told him what I thought. He didn't much like it, or the manner in which I stated my position, that he picked up his ball and went home! Not even so much as a "kiss my ass! :) Needless to say, there wasn't much good work done today (on my golf), so that story will have to do the explaining for me. My next round will be on Sunday and "Monolgue Monty" doesn't play in that, so we'll see what happens.
