iAmerica

Paul Sakuma (AP)Who's ready for iAmerica?
As the BBC has reported, the software company Apple has more cash on hand than the United States federal government, according to the company's financial records.
Apple's quarterly financial report shows that the company responsible for the iPad, iPod and the iPhone now has $76.4 billion in reserve cash, while the Treasury Department is sitting on just $73.7 billion.
The feds could probably learn a thing or two from Apple's success. Congress remains embroiled in a debate over spending and whether the federal government, which currently owes trillions in debt, should be allowed to borrow even more. International credit rating agencies have threatened to downgrade the national debt for the first time in the nation's history if Washington doesn't come up with a solution to lift the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling while implementing a concrete plan to get the nation's financial house in order.
Meanwhile, Apple's financial report shows that the company's profits, even through the last recession, are booming.

Saturday, we played golf at Big Sugar Golf Club in Pea Ridge, Arkansas. Sunday, we attended church at Grade Harbor in Bentonville then headed to Kansas City. Monday, we were rained out and couldn't play golf in KC with our friends from Osage City. We headed back to Joplin and played at Eagle Creek. Beautiful course but very HOT!

Vacation Day 1

We had a great first day on vacation. We played 45 holes of golf at Berryville, Arkansas. Debbie is playing great golf! I'm improving each round. We are staying in a motel on the 7th fairway of the golf course. The pool was great after 45 holes of golf. We also ate at our favorite BBQ joint in all the world, Bubba's in Eureka Springs. The ribs melted in your mouth.
