At the golf course today - I really couldn't believe it
That not a soul was wearing a mask? No not that.
This young woman was driving a golf cart. If today was her birthday she at most could have been 15.
I couldn’t believe it.
The adult riding with her had not practiced or even warmed up and shot a 91 (44-47 with two ⛄️ 8’s on the back)
Wait what? How do you know....
Today is my little girl’s 15th birthday. SHE’s 15!!!!. Yeah I let her drive the cart.
I can’t find the DU thread when I announced that I had spawned.
I can’t believe she’s 15. Great kid. Old soul.

ACC sets 11-game fall football schedule, includes Notre Dame
The ACC Board of Directors voted Wednesday to proceed with an 11-game football season that begins the weekend of Sept. 12 and with Notre Dame playing a full league schedule, but only if public health guidance allows.
All ACC schools and Notre Dame will play 10 conference games plus one nonconference game of their choosing, and the Fighting Irish will be eligible for the ACC championship game. There will be no divisions for this season only.

Barr's "blistering" opening statement - preview
Bits more at link. I’m just posting as full of quotes as I can.
Barr calls Russia scandal 'bogus,' says he acts independent of Trump in blistering opening statement
"Ever since I made it clear that I was going to do everything I could to get to the bottom of the grave abuses involved in the bogus 'Russiagate' scandal, many of the Democrats on this Committee have attempted to discredit me by conjuring up a narrative that I am simply the President's factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions. Judging from the letter inviting me to this hearing, that appears to be your agenda today," Barr says in his written remarks.
"My decisions on criminal matters have been left to my independent judgment, based on the law and fact, without any direction or interference from the White House or anyone outside the Department," Barr will say.
Barr calls the killing of Floyd "horrible" and says it "understandably jarred the whole country and forced us to reflect on longstanding issues in our nation." He continues, however, by recounting the ways that policing in America has changed since "the Civil Rights movement finally succeeded in tearing down the Jim Crow edifice."
"To state what should be obvious, peaceful protesters do not throw explosives into federal courthouses, tear down plywood with crowbars, or launch fecal matter at federal officers," Barr is expected to say. "To tacitly condone destruction and anarchy is to abandon the basic rule-of-law principles that should unite us even in a politically divisive time."

Two NFL players wanted for armed robbery. Using Semi-autos to steal money and watches at party.
Two NFL players wanted on armed robbery charges: What to know about DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar
DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar are currently wanted for armed robbery by Miramar (Florida) police and have yet to turn themselves in to answer the arrest warrants issued. According to the police report, Baker brandished a semi-automatic weapon as he stole cash and watches from partygoers at a cookout in Miramar, with the assistance of Dunbar, and then escaped in seemingly well-positioned and lavish getaway vehicles. The allegations take an even darker turn with witnesses stating that although the firearm was not discharged, there was an order given to shoot one of the attendees.
As it stands, the NFL joins the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks in investigating the matter but also in withholding judgment and further comment while they and Miramar PD do so. Should either or both be indicted on the charges they'd face extensive prison time. If Baker is ultimately convicted of holding a semi-automatic weapon, for example, he'd be up against a mandatory 15-year minimum sentence on each of the four robbery charges -- barring a plea deal -- based upon Florida Law, per CBS Sports legal analyst Amy Dash
Dunbar is set to earn a base salary of $3.25 million from the Seahawks in 2020, and while Baker is still under his rookie deal, the fact he's a first-round pick grants him a higher salary than most others from his draft class. He's set to hit the Giants salary cap for $2.392 million this coming season, assuming he remains on their roster. That same tenuous air now hangs over the future of Dunbar in Seattle as well, where the team was looking forward to seeing the player who reeled in a career-best four interceptions in 2019

Virginia high school fall sports all moved to spring. Football in March.
I know this is sports related but I wasn’t aware of any other state making this move yet. I could be wrong.
VHSL moves football and other fall sports to spring. Prep sports won’t start before Dec. 14.
The Virginia High School League’s Executive Committee voted Monday to implement a condensed schedule to reopen high school sports.
There will be no sports competition until December, football regular season kicks off in March and every sport gets to play.
The new alignment will be:
Winter sports running from Dec. 14-Feb. 20, with the first contest date on Dec. 28;
Fall sports running from Feb. 15-May 1, with the first contest date on March 1;
Spring sports running from April 12-June 26, with the first contest date on April 26.
VHSL Executive Director Billy Haun said the adopted plan was not set in stone and could change depending on developments within the state.
