Top June Posts

June was great.  We had a wonderful month page view wise (rankings below).  More than anything, it was a month for golf, both on the links and in the blog.  Thank you to all our readers!

1.)  The Golf Channel: Spouse's Guide To Sanity (Special Guest Post) - Our Father's Day post, courtesy of the mother of my children, offered golf widow insight and a Father's Day authorship respite for yours truly. She opined on Retief, Tom and Mike, harpooned the menagerie of Tiger, the Bear and the Shark, and simplified the rules to one. Not one to gloss over, she peered beneath surface, to the underwear of it all. Teresa's post not only led the month, it vaulted to number two on the all time list. First place beckons. Don't look over your shoulder Jon Tester, she is catching up. It is rumoured another guest post is on the way.

2.)  Sundays at the US Open: Memories and How to Watch a Golf Tournament - My musings and memories from Opens past at Congressional and Shinnecock, with a primer on how to track down a Tiger at a tournament.

3.)  To Sell a HouseGoogle vs. Bing. Competition for the best search engine? No, the sources of before and after pictures on how to market a house in a hot market.

4.)  Happy First Day of Summer!KISS.  A Yellowstone webcam. Snow fields lasted into early July, gone now.  But where have all the snowflakes gone?  They will return before Labor Day, claims of global warming notwithstanding.  There is no urban heat island in Yellowstone.

5.)  Club Fed Cashes In: Special Favors for Federal Employees
I said you the taxpayer might as well have written me a check for $35K. I've since looked at my account balances and bonds have continued to lose value. It's more like a $50K check you've written me.  I, along with millions of federal employees and fellow retirees, thank you for your generosity.  My children, who the cost of this is being passed on to, not so much.

6.)  Student Loan Accountability: Put College Skin into the Game -  Young, naive college students are becoming the subprime borrowers of the education market.  Let's stop the insanity and inject responsibility at all levels.
