 TID BITS

Here's a fact you can stump your friends with.  The Masters Championship played last week at Augusta National Golf Course is the premiere event in the long golf season.  Anyway, who holds the record for lowest score on that course?  Amazingly, it is an amateur and not one you're likely to have heard of.  His name is Jefferson B.A. Knox.  Jeff is a club member there and is considered the best amateur golfer in the state of Georgia.  They use Jeff to play with the pros at the Masters when there is an odd number of players on a Saturday -  as a pacer.  Anyway, he has recorded a 61 on the course, 11 under par.  No pro has done that.

I'm embarrassed at how many times I have placed a half cup of coffee in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm it and find the cup there the next day.  Talk about short term memory!  Talk about being easily distracted!  If you have done it, you're not alone.

Hope everyone got their taxes submitted to the IRS by yesterday.  When the Federal Income Tax was first introduced in 1913, the taxes had to be submitted by March 1 of the following year.  In 1918, they changed the date to March 15.  In 1955, the date was changed to April 15.

By the way, what is a "tid"?   If you don't know, ask a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or Latin student.
