Golfists...always whining about the Golf.

Ooh theres rain! Gotta put my Golf bats away....

Ooo theres a pandemic, they wont let me Golf!

I'm going to set up a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the Atlantic with a few holes you guys can play regardless of weather and I'll fill the entire lower decks with explosives.

First person to get a hole-in-one is gonna be really surprised.

Welp - lost a pretty big branch off my lilac this morning. The shape is going to be all messed up. (I'm assuming any break in a branch means it's game over?)

Seems the other trees bent a lot, but didn't actual snap or break. Thank goodness nothing really had leaves yet.

So the South got hit harder than the North? This makes no sense to me.

If it snapped clean off, then not much you can do but reshape. If it's a branch that cracked badly, but not clean off, then if you try and squeeze it back together and hold it in place with gardening tape or whatever? Maybe there's a chance to salvage the situation?

All these years of BC rejecting pipeline proposals from AB through BC and this is the idea you come up with?

Please submit proposal ASAP. You might be on to something.

Yeah, we need some Kitimat water for future forest fires...
