Setting up IP games XLVIII

[rah]

Sorry I had Jury duty today. AND GOT SELECTED FOR A JURY. I have to go back tomorrow.

But on Sunday, I shot a solid 85, for a combined net of 5 under. Normally it would have been enough except for one true sandbagger. A 10 handicap had 78 the first day and 75 the second day. A 10 handicap my A**. Even his friends were teasing him. So he got low gross, but since the same person couldn't win low net. I won that. The next person was 11 strokes back, so it really didn't matter what I shot on Sunday. Didn't stay long enough to hear how much prize money, but it will probably be around 150. But a very satisfying two day total. Only one penalty stroke for the two days, and it was on the 36th hole. I really didn't putt that well, so that made it an even more solid 36.

(Oh, and too bad about the sandbagger. B*stards are everywhere...)

They didnt take playing civ as a valid excuse then?

[Ming]

[rah]

Somebody had to be in charge

It's a well-known fact that hardcore Civ players

1. excel at situational analysis,
2. have long attention spans, and
3. have excessive free time on their hands.

All highly desirable qualities for a jury.

Oh, and RAH -- Nice citizenship, dude!

[rah]

Yeah, but what's the old joke.
Quite a justice system we have. Your fate is decided by 12 people that were too stupid to avoid getting on a jury.

War4ever alert.... half way through, internet connection very unstable even with new isp, maybe the damm worms are screwing up things...

their techie comes on tuesday

1 1/2 hours of internet stable connection a day makes me go off on a

****ing capitalist swines

[Ming]

[war4ever sighting]

Well... still a step in the right direction. So are you all moved in and unpacked... do you like the place...

[/war4ever sighting]

[rah]

I begining to wonder if there is such a thing as a stable connection in Canada.

[-Jrabbit]

Hey, War4, I know you're out BC way, but what city are you near? My company's rep in that area is a comp nerd -- maybe I can ask him for ISP suggestions...

[Ming]

Hey JR... I assume you are going to be around this Friday...

[rah]

Note TO FF. I had originally thought I would take tomorrow off so I would be available to play tonight. But, since jury duty went two days, I'm still swamped at work and will be unable to do so.

Unless a miracle happens.

RAH

[Ming]

That's ok... FF told me last night that he wouldn't be available as well since he had an important errand to run early on Friday morning...

Here's praying for a miracle anyway
