Some days it just seems I can't keep up. Today is another one of those days.
Sports today: both the NASCAR race on Naval Base Coronado (San Diego) and PGA's US Open tournament on Long Island were absolutely incredible.
The Wyndham Clark story is / was amazing. The Jay Busbee analysis is must-read. Link here. The article was posted at 6:49 a.m. CDT before the fourth and final round had begun. I'm reading the article now, after the tournament is over. Wow, incredible writing and an incredible golf tournament. It will be interesting if Mr Busbee follows this up with an article on some of the vocal and boorish spectators.
Most disappointing: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth. Probably others but I'm not following the PGA very closely any more. Speaking of which, Rolex needs to move on; quit with the stills of Tiger Woods. Speaking of which, Brandel Chamblee has a new piece out regarding Tiger Woods this weekend, link here. I haven't read more than the headline and part of the first paragraph; not sure if I will read any more of it.
The NASCAR race -- one of the best ever. I've said that before, but this was a great race on so many levels. Michael Jordan came close to seeing his team take the 1-2-3 top spots.
Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing team had a dominant, historic 1-2 finish at the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series street race at Naval Base Coronado.
Part-time driver Corey Heim won the race in the No. 67 Toyota, and his 23XI teammate Bubba Wallace finished second.
The race was highly dramatic in its closing laps. Heim seized the lead from his other 23XI teammate, Tyler Reddick, with just two laps remaining. Reddick subsequently suffered a flat tire and finished 25th, leaving the top two spots for Heim and Wallace.

Back to the Bakken
Earlier today I posted a note regarding some great Enerplus wells coming off the confidential list in the next week or so. A reader sent me a note on another set of Enerplus wells. I will post his note later after I get a chance to spend some time looking at the wells.

The Mideast
The Mideast kerfuffel may not be over. That's not surprising. Conflicts have pretty much gone on non-stop for 2,000 years.
The Arab nations with interests in the Persian Gulf (i.e, OPEC for the most part) may want to get out an old classic by the Brothers Grimm. The Arab nations are about to lose their "Golden Goose" if they're not careful.

Taxes
The story making the rounds right now: North Dakota may join Florida and Texas as being the most tax-friendly states among Obama's 57 states (links everywhere).
