Homeless Vets
Who are homeless veterans?
The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) says the nation's homeless veterans are mostly males (4 % are females). The vast majority are single, most come from poor, disadvantaged communities, 45% suffer from mental illness, and half have substance abuse problems. America’s homeless veterans have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the military’s anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. Forty-seven percent of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam Era. More than 67% served our country for at least three years and 33% were stationed in a war zone.
Happy Veterans Day

Rained out Golf and Trick or Treat
This was to be the last home golf weekend.
Not to be. It's been raining for days. Even if it stops tomorrow the courses locally are going to be shot for the weekend.
Golf business may lose millions
Some of Atlanta's largest golf courses are asking the state to exempt them from tough outdoor watering restrictions they say could cost them millions of dollars and diminish or drive away the region's top golf tourname
This is one damn fine golf shot.
We do the trick or treat thing with our son at a neighborhoood gathering Satruday evening and again next week in our neighborhood.
Happy trick and treat. I'm gonna catch - up on all the books written by the presidential candidates.
Another gift for Halloween
Check out Cooper's Poe Post at Wonderland or Not.

Work is Hell
It's been awhile. Like I mentioned, my business is growing and I've been looking for office space. I sign a lease next week on a small suite of offices. This leaves me with no time to write in this thing, but money must be made, food put on the table and golf outings attended.
All eyes are on Iowa with polls giving conflicting data. Hilary is cackling her way into the hearts of some, while Obama's wife predicts he must win Iowa.
Check out Cooper's take on pinking up for Breast Cancer awareness month.
Shayna has officially quit the blogging scene and Pia is moving.
I want no more quitting out there. Hear me?
Enjoy the week.

Dr. Randy Pausch’s farewell lecture. Have a good weekend.
My wife is not an email-er. She doesn't send me cute little notes all day; she's a busy attorney. If she needs me she calls, but otherwise we do our jobs with no communication during the day.
Today she sent me this. As rare as the occasion I watched it.
She sent be the version from ABC GMA -
Dying Professor's Lecture of a Lifetime
There are various installation currently on You Tube.
I like this because there was no talk about religion or being saved, except for a death bed conversion to MAC's. He talks about life lessons, life.
Take a look at this when you have time.

The Good and the Bad
Senate deals legal blow to Guantanamo prisoners
Players fighting for jobs at Fall Series
The US Senate Wednesday narrowly rejected an attempt to allow 'war on terror' prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detention in federal courts.
Senators voted 56-43 in favor of the bill, but the final tally was short of the 60 votes needed under Senate rules for it to move forward.
The bill would have restored the ancient writ of habeas corpus to inmates, giving them recourse to the US civil justice system.
Players fighting for jobs at Fall Series
The golf season is complete, but it's not. A four-week grind through the FedEx Cup playoffs is over, but a seven-week grind is about to begin. The PGA Tour awarded its biggest prizes of the year on Sunday at the Tour Championship, but it still has plenty more to dole out.
