Default Large Sinkhole on Truman Golf Course

Picture on other site. I hate to start this because it causes so much fear.

Why the negative fear mongering? It could be a new retention pond.

Probably what nature intended.

This mornings paper indicated that was due to a pipe break, so all the fears can be put aside, unless you have a large drainage pipe running under your house.

For the record, I love you. Sorry Mrs. Villagetinker.

Just an observation:
The city of Auburn has 100 year old pipes laid with the material of the time and has had like 2 or 3 breaks in the last 30 years. Meanwhile, TV has pretty much brand new pipe made of modern materials, especially south of 466A where there have been a few recent breaks. What gives with this infrastructure?---did the contractor get his material from Crazy Ahmed's discount ISIS supply

That is it, the infrastructure. We are on shifting sands here.


AND I love Villagetinker too, Villager Joyce. Shoulda read the paper. Feel greatly relieved. Might have been the reason for the power outage too.

I played that course at 4:40 yesterday. I went to the other site and saw the photo. That's the par 3 over the tree from the gold. That's where it was yesterday.

Do you see that fabric looking thing across the water? Well last year after a lot of leaves had fallen, I thinned the shot and it went down there. I was walking to the ball and the fabric or baffle or whatever it is was covered with leaves. I stepped on it and it went down. As I was going down I pushed off hard with the other leg and got on solid ground and was safe. It's been a long time since I was that scared. I've seen an alligator in that pond.

I told an ambassador what happened and they roped it off and brushed off the leaves. You never know, do you?

[that might be the pond to the right of the seventh hole---i don't see the trees]

I missed this. Would you please share where that was in the paper today (Thursday)?
