Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

it's funny how until you hurt a particular body part you have no idea how importaant it may be in a given activity.....now that i've got your interest i'll burst your bubble and tell you i'm talking about my right big toe and no i don't have a foot fetish....i went out and played golf tonight for the first time since i messed up my right big toe about a month ago, and until i took a couple of pratice swings never realized how much pressure i actually place on it during a normal swing, if i finish with a high follow through, the only part of my right foot still on the ground is...you guessed it the offending toe...well after a couple of swings i realized that although the foot felt great walking it wasn't up to that kind of abuse just yet.....now if i take a short follow through more of the foot stays down and the toe was fine, of course the problem then was that i was hitting the ball on a much lower ball flight, actually i use that shot from time to time to get under the wind or a tree or what ever, called a punch or a knockdown, well i ended up playing most of the round like that and the foot is ok........hope i'm over that crisis......i thnik that the main problem is that i just can't keep my foot out of my mouth and it gets waterlogged and hurts.....(hehe)
was a great day, warm but dry...really beautiful day........popped in and out of work this morning and then just took it easy til about 4 and then played golf......i never play during the day on the weekend just to busy....i'll wait til late afternoon and then can usually play pretty well at my own pace without worrying about slow groups.......i don't wait well.......on the golf course or in life in general.....patience may be a virtue but i neither have it nor do i desire it....
