All those postage-stamp front yards we used to have were reminders that we like clear spaces to see predators coming.

I had 128 yards to the front of the green, which is normally a pitching wedge. I used an 8-iron and a sand wedge to get on the green.

'Robopocalypse' joins a proud tradition of techno-apocalyptic tales, stretching from high-flying Icarus, to Frankenstein's monster, and to many a giant radioactive creature who has crashed the streets of Tokyo. And then, of course, there's the Terminator.

Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, robots, Wolfman - all of this stuff was really popular in the '50s. Robots are the only one of those make-believe monsters that have become real. They are really in our lives in a meaningful way. That's pretty fascinating to me.
