Day, who was felled by vertigo just a day before, sank a birdie putt on No. 18 that tied him with Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace at four-under par headed into the final day of the U.S. Open.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/22/sports/golf/jason-day-finishes-out-of-the-race-but-finishes-nonetheless.html
"When Day made his final putt on the 18th green, completing a round of 74 to finish the final round at four over and the championship at even par, five behind Spieth, the grandstand crowd gave him a standing ovation. Day smiled and waved at the fans."

Ceramic Skyline, on the Move
At the New York Transit Museum, one can find a steel-dust stained terra cotta plaque showing the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor, one of four that formed a mural.If Bill Schulz looked at the Brooklyn Bridge he would see both diagonal stay wires and vertical suspenders.
He should do his homework.
The transit system is fascinating in its successes and failures.
There is much to be learned about urban design from the effort to build a city that cannot be walked across in half a day. (~12 miles)

California Golf Trip Lands Obama in a Water-Use Debate
