    It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

    • Bowled at my "favorite" place last night. The night started with a decent shot 15 to 10, occasionally the carry would get weird. Started with a split was on pace for a deuce and the shot started changing and left big splits in 9 and 10

      Game 2 I managed a deuce with 3 opens (2 splits and a 10 pin)

      Game 3 couple splits and a deuce. Series was 590's

      • I was able to go 2-4 on seven pins woo hoo... not. Add that to lot's of taps, and the inability to string strikes and ended up with 553. Games of 191,182,180.

        I felt like I bowled better than I scored.

        At least we went 5-2 as a team

        • I went 584 last night had a real good game 1 - 243. Then the shot just deteriorated and by the end of the night I was lucky to hit the pocket.

          I can live with a 584, but I had such really good potential and just lost the shot.

          Oh well.

            Yep. When I start with a big number and then falter I am more disappointed than if I start out short and finish strong.

            With a 243 I expect to at least get me six.

            • With a 243 start I would like to expect at least a 650.

                That is because you are a much better bowler than me.

                  Not with how my average has been this last year. I should be a 210 and am barely at 200 or just under it. Ive been working on my release a bunch over the last year. Im not consistent in my release on ball one and mechanically I get quick to the line causing me to pull the shot - tightening my line and causing weird splits.

                  Always things to work on.

                  • 4-3 last night. We got spanked hard the first game. Won the last game by 1 pin.

                    I was ok, still couldn't string strikes. 190-203-187 for a 580.

                    • I had to quit again this year...sadly

                      Work and family issues had me missing the last 5 weeks and i just lost the desire to go back

                          Mith - Sorry that you may be experiencing a rough stretch. Hopefully things get better and you have some other things that allow you momentary escapes. Bowling for me was a way to turn off the brain and just be in a moment. Now that I work at home it is one of my social outlets where I actually get to talk to someone other than my wife.

                          • Had a 614 last night. Started and finished solidly with games in the 220's, but game 2 I pulled 3 balls through the nose leaving me big splits so a big night was ruined by the operator this week.

                            Happy with the 614 as I covered up my spares other than the big splits, though I did pick up the 2,4,6,7.

                            Won all 3 hands of poker last night also.

                              • Had a 650 last night.

                                Got lined up pretty quickly in warm-ups. Frame 6 my ball started sliding by the head pin - made a ball change right away instead of fighting it. Finished game 1 192.

                                Game 2 I started with a strike. Pulled the ball 2nd frame left 4/7/10. Ran a string of 8 and finished 255.

                                Shot change in gm 3 and I started by moving left, but was sliding past the head pin again. So I changed balls and straightened the shot out a bit closing with a 203.

                                Only had 4 opens last night and 3 were splits. OOOF!
