Had a lovely Sunday lunch in a friendly, local(ish) pub I'd not been to before. My Mum & I were the only women there. I think the men all did the same sport. I'm not sure what that was but definitely not extreme. Could have been bowls... Pretty sure no ironing boards or mountains were involved.
It's not even like golf would die out, there's plenty of areas where you don't need to waste a shitload of water on a course. It'd just go back to regions that are suited for it. Putting golf courses EVERYWHERE is like trying to establish alpine skiing in areas without mountains and/or snowfall.
Honestly it's amazing how much of our country is big squares, and then how much of the rest is little squares. And then there's mountains.
Anyway, don’t climb mountains. The mountains do not want you and they will kill you for your hubris.
Latona’s son a dire contagion spread,/And heap’d the camp with mountains of the dead;
When towns were told to evacuate when dam failed, they evacuated.Water levels went to roofs of businesses & homes in Asheville NC. That wasn’t from dam breach, was flooding from torrential rains coming down from mountains from hurricanes Helene. No one had cell phone service/power. They knew to flee
when people from outside the mountains say "the holler" i physically cringe
At least we’re not dealing with flooding, lack of electricity, or clean water shortages. It’s one awful mess in the mountains in NC. That situation is dire.
