Game Review: Fairway Solitaire HD


   Hey, everyone. Ever think that you'd like to leave the high pressure world of shooter games and just relax for a while? Try a game called Fairway Solitaire. This is a free card game with a golf flavor. In truth, the golf part is minimal. You have announcers, like in golf, and the game pretends that you are hitting good or bad shots as you play cards on top of one another. You have a deck to draw from and cards to pick from. The object is to play a card on the pile which is one higher or lower than the card exposed. If you can't do that you have to draw a card. If you run out of deck, you come up 'over par' for that hole. If you get rid of all the cards without using the whole deck, well, you are under par. There are several courses and several holes per course. The game is free, with in apps and a full game unlock for $2.99.
    This game is fun and a good time waster. Carley, the puzzler, likes it, as do I. I especially like the sounds of the birds tweeting and the waves crashing on the shore because you don't hear a lot of that around here in the winter. The bottom line about this game is this: you don't get stuck, you don't get mad, you just play. By the way, there are some gofers, not golfers, involved in a plot of some sort, though I haven't delved deeply enough to know what that plot is. It will probably be like the movie called Caddy Shack, where the gofer destroys a course, with the help of Bill Murray. Great movie.
    I would give this game 4 stars out of 5, but watch out for the in apps. Sometimes you might hit the wrong button.

P.S. I like the music also. At the ocean-side course, they play a bit of Beach Boys style music. There is a bit of funny commentary, also.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...
