An Indonesian teenager has made it safely back to dry land after being adrift at sea in a wooden hut for a staggering 49 days. Aldi Novel Adiliang was rescued by a passing freighter after he was found adrift some 1,200 miles off the coast of North Sulawesi.
The hut he was stationed in broke free from its moorings during a storm and proceeded to carry him out to sea. He admitted crying frequently and being scared while adrift. Itâs believed that more than 10 ships passed Aldi when he was adrift before he was found, but none of them saw him or stopped to pick him up.

Kind of reminds you of your days in the Navy right?
Or maybe it is your days out fishing for those large mouthed bass?

Didn't catch much of the Ryder Cup today due to yard-work and various drudgery. The Sgt. Major put me through. However, the Europeans took the day with Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood capturing the spotlight. Teams winning the foursomes usually win the cup. However, we have some strong individual players. The big thing in playing a European course is that they are rarely, if ever, as manicured as U.S. golf courses. Our American players generally don't deal with natural conditions as well as European Ryder Cuppers do.

The last thread Bahmer posted on that I found seemed appropriate to update him on golf...as he does me the same way.

Spot on they were great this morning but afternoon bought out different conditions and it appeared as if the players were playing differently as well.

BB's first assigned duty was on The Ark.
He was head pooper-scooper for the decks.
It was a crappy job, but Noah saw his BB's talents and took advantage of bb's youth.
We will have to see what tomorrow brings out in our players. Lets hope that we retain the Ryder Cup. They were saying that we are not used to the conditions of the European courses are because the US courses are manicured better.
