Sports Today -- PGA -- US Open - Observations -- June 20, 2026

Locator: 51023SPORTS.

Updates 

6:50 p.m. CT: another huge crash.  Lap 35/60. Another red flag; took about an hour. Exciting finish.

First caution: lap one. Car hits manhole cover that had supposedly been welded down ... a manhole cover ends up in the radiator of car #17. Race is over for Corey Day. 150 manhole covers, or thereabouts. How fast can they weld the manhole cover back over the manhole? 

4:15 p.m. CT: NASCAR race starting momentarily out at San Diego. Naval Base Coronado. Street racing. A very irregular track; not the typical oval. Many of the curves single file; spotters / crew chiefs can't see every spot on the track. 

****************************
Original Post 

1:00 p.m. CT: Scottie about ready to tee off.  We don't see the leader until 2:45 p.m. CT -- almost two hours from now. 

  • this Long Island golf course not as nice-looking as the Masters at Augusta, George; 
  • Rolex needs to move on; still using "stills" of Tiger Woods to sell watches;
  • the first wave of players: USA Network (NBC) and NBC only interested in Jordan Spieth it seems, and he continues to disappoint; his last win was in 2022 -- there are upwards of 45 PGA tournaments each year; so he's had some 150 opportunities to win; none to date; 
  • crowds huge in some areas, but sparse in other areas;
  • Scottie has just teed of from the first tee; in the rough just off the fairway; bogey first hole, Rory, par; not impressive in either case;
  • I'm still not seeing any "real" champion; no "must-see" golfer.
  • finally the first wave is completed and now we see the top of the leaderboard. 

NASCAR is making history this weekend (June 20-21) at Naval Base Coronado for the Anduril 250, marking the first time the Cup Series has ever competed on an active military base. It will be located at airfield operations, north island, I believe.

  • today's race: late afternoon
  • tomorrow's race: mid-afternoon

Naval Base Coronado (NBC) is a massive, 57,000-acre consortium of eight military installations in Southern California. Stretching from San Clemente Island to Imperial Beach, it serves as the West Coast hub for naval aviation, amphibious operations, and special warfare, employing over 36,000 military and civilian personnel.

FIFA Soccer: based on countries, none that interest me. The USA plays Turkey later. this week, Thursday. Not exactly must-watch television.

Bakken -- Staggering -- A Reminder -- June 20, 2026

Locator: 51022B.  

A reminder. This link to see staggering wells from over the years. 

When you get there, this post will show up at the top, so scroll down through all the "staggering" wells.

*****************************
The Book Page

Arrived today: The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film, Michael Ondaatje, c. 2002. Dustcover price: $35. Thriftbooks, $6.75. 

*****************************
The Book Page

Re-reading. Trying to sort this book out.

Suddenly Something Clicked: The Languages of Film Editing and Sound Design, Walter Murch, c. March, 2025. 

Link here for the notes. 

This is the first of three volumes. The author says he has already completed volumes 2 and 3, but they won't be released "until the right time." 

Walter Murch is 82 years old. Volume 1 was published when he was 81 years old. Wiki. 

Never quit reading. This is truly amazing. On the very first page of this book: "uncanny valley." See wiki. So incredibly relevant at this moment in time.

Murch started compiling notes for this book in 2013 or thereabouts. And now AI.

As related to robotics engineering, robotics professor Masahiro Mori first introduced the concept in 1970 from his book titled Bukimi No Tani, lit. 'uncanny valley phenomenon').

Bukimi no tani was translated literally as uncanny valley in the 1978 book Robots: Fact, Fiction, and Prediction written by Jasia Reichardt.

Over time, this translation created an unintended association of the concept to Ernst Jentsch's psychoanalytic concept of the uncanny established in his 1906 essay "On the Psychology of the Uncanny" which was then critiqued and extended in Sigmund Freud's 1919 essay "The Uncanny." 

Mori's original hypothesis states that as the appearance of a robot is made more human, some observers' emotional response to the robot becomes increasingly positive and empathetic, until it becomes almost human, at which point the response quickly becomes strong revulsion. 

However, as the robot's appearance continues to become less distinguishable from that of a human being, the emotional response becomes positive once again and approaches human-to-human empathy levels.

When plotted on a graph (see above), the reactions are indicated by a steep decrease followed by a steep increase (hence the "valley" part of the name) in the areas where anthropomorphism is closest to reality.

Presidential Libraries, Museums, Shrines, Centers -- June 20, 2026

Locator: 51021OBAMA.  

The President Barack Obama Center (is that the correct name?) came up in passing this morning in a one- or two-line conversation with my wife when she mentioned a friend of a friend of a friend attended the opening of said library, Chicago, IL.

I mentioned that as far I knew, I have only visited one presidential library, the George W. Bush library here in Texas, and I think I only went there because of its proximity to where we live. I thought it was a great museum / library.

Then my wife reminded me that we had been to John F Kennedy library in Boston. Now, I remember. Without question that was my favorite. Very small, mostly a library in the true sense of the word, except not a "lending" library. The site, the location, the view, second to none. What I liked most about it: small, intimate, quite, restful.

The Bush libary here in Texas is beautiful, but it was a museum, not a library. It's "way over the top." Wonderful to visit, but I liked the JFK library so much more.  

So, now I'm starting to get it. Library. Museum. Shrine. Center. Campus.  

Factoid:

  • the Obama Center in Chicago, the one we're talking about, is 8 stories high;
  • the proposed Trump Center, to be built in Florida, is expected to be 50 stories high.

The centerpiece and major visual "wow factor" inside the museum at the Obama Presidential Center is a soaring, three-story atrium containing a monumental artwork called "City of the Big Shoulders" by artist Mark Bradford, alongside an expansive 88-foot digital wall celebrating the "Power of Words." See photograph of the painting here.

President George W. Bush library: a replica of his Oval Office.

President Donald J. Trump center: a decommissioned Air Force One on the bottom floor.

Going Forward
