The missing link

摘要

Stormy, primordial weather in palm springs: I couldn't help but feel sorry for the business-casual travelers lugging their golf clubs away from the baggage claim area at the airport. Instead of desert days of sun and double birdies, they would have to endure streams in the streets and 40-degree nights. Nor could the writer in me resist reaching for the easy metaphor: storms in paradise, storms over the economy, gratification delayed, if not denied. That Calloway Big Bertha might never touch the tee.
