The less Bryson, the more likable he is.  Not having him be visible except 4 weeks a year is probably the right amount of Bryson for both himself and the public.

For all the BS with LIV, I think its allowed him to be more himself outside of the PGA guardrails.  His Youtube channel is great and has done wonders for his personal perception.  I think its all helped a lot with his general demeanor and leaving the animosity he had with PGA management.  Its a shame that it took leaving the PGA Tour to unlock that.

People can still dislike him, and thats fine, but you can't say he's putting on a facade.  He's absolutely an odd duck, but he doesn't pretend to be anything else.

This was rather where my head was. We also have a gasoline powered sedan that we could drive everywhere (and it has a relatively low amount of miles on it) and could acquire an Ariya at comparatively favorable terms. My wife, however, wants a Murano for long-distance travel.

Big question is whether Nissan will negotiate on the residual. Exactly the same car is available at multiple dealers for between $35,000 and $37,000 and the resid on mine is $42,000. If they negotiate, I'll probably keep the car I now have.

All, the reason EVs have become political is because some states, like California, are outlawing purchase and sale of new ICE vehicles. That was a political decision by the State of California. Period.  We honestly are looking at it on an economic and convenience and need basis.
Yea. If your wife doesn't want to only have the sedan as the option for long distance travel, you'll likely have to keep your Murano.

If the dealer wants to sell you the Murano, they'd be silly not to renegotiate.

Do you think it was a political decision when lead-based paint or leaded pipes or leaded gasoline or asbestos were banned by the government ?

1. My personal advice to you would be to turn in your Murano at least end (or buy it out and trade it in depending on equity/market price) and lease an Ariya. Install a level 2 charger in your garage and plug in every night. Take your other ICE vehicle on the road trips

Don't talk to us, and don't talk about gubmint. Talk to your new right-wingnut pal, Elon. This is his baby.

Easily Hovland for me.  Outside of struggling at the Masters this year, I think he has like 5 top 20s in his last 6 majors.  Like 3-4 of those were top 10s.  He's really damn good and is really close to breaking through and winning a couple IMO.

In other news, I know the feelings on him here are mixed, but amazing tournament image-wise for Dechambeau.  I read 4-5 accounts of how awesome he was with fans and support staff all weekend and his gallery support seemed way stronger than in the past.

Congratulations on losing the title.   Who, now, is the best player without a major?   Hovland?    Cantlay?

Probably Hovland.  Cantlay blows

I’ve been told Talor Gooch is the best iron player of the last 20 years, so maybe him

COVID-19 / Re: Will you get the Covid Vaccine?
« Last post by The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole on Today at 06:46:14 AM »
  one main issue MUDPT however, the "experts" along with our gubmint peeps, were not very transparent about this NEW vaccine that, for obvious reasons, wasn't allowed to go through the normal protocol-phase I, II and/or III testing.  this disallowed many from getting good honest answers from their doctors.  you know, the thingy between a doctor and his/her patient.  man people's lives were destroyed both ways, some have been able to live to tell about it.  the "hammer down" mandate was a killer too.  jobs lost, relationships ruined etc  it also hindered some good science from being debated. 

  I understand this was not an ideal time to allow for the normal protocol for testing procedures and we had to fast track the vaccine, but once again, doctors and pharmacists were NOT ALLOWED to exercise their professional judgments


I, for one, am grateful that the horse paste dentist was not allowed to exercise his professional judgement.
