People are Strange..when you’re a stranger

As we travel we meet all sorts of folks….some are strange and some should be put in a care facility before they hurt themselves or others due to “Advanced Stupidity Syndrome “ or ASS for short………alas the vast majority of folks are kindhearted and good folks with a dash of simple mindedness thrown in for good measure and entertainment value just like you and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Faces look ugly when you’re alone”

I like to golf……well I try and play golf……well I have golf clubs……well…I’m pretty bad at golf……..someone told me “if you can swear and drink beer you’re half way to being a golfer”…….I got 49% to go! When you golf you need friends to golf with…..or you get paired up with strangers…who happen to wanna golf at the same time you wanted to golf….seems benign……but if you are socially awkward like me this creates a huge source of nervousness and anxiety……Normally you get paired up with nice folks who are for the most part, just like you…….a crappy golfer!!!!!!……….I played with some strangers the other day….Jimmy and Jerry**….for some reason it is a LONGSTANDING golf tradition to forget your new found golfing friends name before your gloved hand retracts from the now normal fist bump greeting

my good friend Jimmy from Casper taught me to write down their name IMMEDIATELY on the score card….this works great IF you write it down in the first 3 seconds……….my new golf partner Jerry did NOT get the memo and for some reason though my name was Kerry

I tried to correct Jerry several times…..but like most husbands and ALL old guys he was too deaf and too busy’s talking to hear me……I figured what the hell…no big deal……….BUT …..after 3 holes Jerry starts calling me Larry!!!!

I’m thinking what the ??????

Ty Webb about the same year Jim went to Rock and Roll Heaven to await
Jimi
and Janis

About this time , his bro Jimmy steps in and tells Jerry..” you moron,,,,his name isn’t Larry….its Jerry”

(

Im thinking who are these TWO?????

Right after playing musical chairs with my name Jimmy informs me that he is a real estate agent…………….I’m not real sure what is going on in Sun Lakes Arizona BUT you cant swing a dead cat without hitting someone claiming to be in real estate

No dead or live cats where harmed in he writing of this nonsense ****

I sh*t you not….every time I’ve been paired up on the golf course down here……one of the golfers proclaims “ I’m in real estate “ or “my wife is in real estate” ….. “My brother is an agent” “my neighbor is with Broker 12” “You looking to buy????” and as you might imagine….they ALL proclaim to know what’s what in the local market

I suspect that sometime prior to 1912 statehood a group of real estate agents headed to Sun Lakes

When they got here they musta started …..you…know…..

Anyway ,,,,,,,I went into the clubhouse the other day to watch golf on TV…….(apparently watching golf on TV is not well understood by spousal units…;but thats another story) And these 55+ communities really groove on being Country Club like………so ya got rules….normal CC stuff…..no dropping F BOMBS…….no eating with your fingers……..no wearing horizontal striped shorts with vertical stripped shirts …..no urinating in the parking lot…..

you know…….”the usual” stuff……..I notice one of the rules stated that men must remove their ball cap….so I uncovered and smoothed out the 8 lone hairs on my peach like dome…….

when I noticed the younger female server “eyeballin” me……………….just to clarify , ANYONE under 60 at these places is younger……

“oh how far we have fallen”…………………

…anyway…..I notice many of the other men still wearing hats….perhaps “Bambi”was impressed with my ability to follow “the rules”

I did also notice several of the female members giving me the once over!!!!

Perhaps the younger server and the Country Club ladies where giving me the look because I’m new?

As I strutted toward the babes I glanced at the wall mirror…….prepared for my image and the affirmation of my studdlyness !!!!!

Even though I am occasionally told I have Hollywood looks.

I was horrified to see my reflection!!!!!!..

I had SERIOUS HAT HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!!! The ladies and younger server where not lusting after my rugged good looks and Sam Elliot like voice…….they were entertained by my HAT HEAD!!!!!!!
