Today's Tids Issue 3,143
Opening Stuff:
I saw a nesting white
egret in the dawning Rhode Island sun as I stood absorbing another
magnificent early morning. A cooling north wind raised feathers as the graceful
mom snuggled down against her family to come. She may have been eying her
reflections in nearby glassy waters of the small pond that sat above a small
marsh valley with slow moving, meandering creeks. She may have found peace in
the tune cranked out by the old colonial, wooden windmill turning slowly in the
breeze. Frankly, I got so relaxed watching her in the soothing environment,
that I hit my next shot into the pond, scaring the hell out of her. I hope the
kids are alright.
Did you see where the
US is removing Peace Corps workers from President Obama’s Ancestral lands,
Kenya? I always thought of Kenya along with South Africa as two of the few sane
parts of the huge African continent. But maybe, the areas around the so-called
cradle of humanity are just destined to be an eternal underachiever. I feel for
the millions of people who have been oppressed by ruthless dictators often
funded by our tax dollars; these same people now are facing a possible future dominated
Islamic extremists and terrorists
Football is here and
so are new rules. The most annoying rule is the one that handcuffs
defensive backs. This came about because Peyton Manning had a miserable day in the
Super Bowl because of great play by the defense.. The last time there was a rule
change that handcuffed defensive backs was when the Colts Polien in behalf of Peyton Manning had the rules
changed because Peyton couldn’t complete passes against the Patriots, Did I say
Peyton Manning twice, Is he the new entitlement queen. If you can’t do it, change the rules. Is that the new
American spirit?
I really have a problem
with people who smugly announce, “I eat healthy”. It all depends on how you
define the word healthy.
The Question:
What do you think are the statistical “Sin Cities” of
America. In other words, which cities lesad the nation in gmabling illicit sex
and drugs and alcohol?

One of the most thoroughly
satisfying mindless activities is watering tomato plants.
Of course,
finding tomatoes in my sandwich is a pure panic event.
Everybody or every
place can be “Number 1” at something as long as your use the right
qualifier. For instance, the Tids has been named “#1 Human Interest Blog with
severe spelling deficiencies in the USA. I’ll take it.
It seems like the
“bubble” in this current thriving stock market is the the inevitable loss
of the huge monthly welfare checks from the Fed.
Twitter continues
to be the big enigma among investors.
The Tids Executive Management
is proud to welcome several new readers. Unfortunately, the Tidster’s mind has
been relatively inert this week, resulting in a few lackluster efforts.
Even though I see it
every day, I am always amazed by the teens with heads down, faces in phones,
fingers typing madly. Many parents think taking away the dreaded phone is the
best teen punishment of them all. Personally I’d worry about suicide rate
increasing. I wouldn’t be surprised tough to see this generation it nears the
end, asking to be buried with their phones, which will probably be embedded in
their bodies somewhere. Actually, grandparents might be asking for smart phones
in their pockets, but may never use it without grandchildren in heaven.
There’s word floating
around that the US Postal Service may introduce banking. Would you put your
money in an institution run by government bureaucrats? Would you want your
money moved around by computer system designed by Gov. experts, which rarely
work and crash key hard drives on a regular basis?
I see where the US Government
has just spent millions on robots which will be used to teach kids how to exercise! God help us
Reading Between the
Lines Movie Reviews:
--I’m looking forward to “The Most Wanted Man, starting
Phillip Seymore Hoffman along with William DeFoe, Robin Wright and Rachel McAdams.
It’s one of those classic stakes rising, time declining spy thrillers as German
and US security agencies run to learn the most wanted man’s true identity –
oppressed victim or terrorist. It’s a good one.
--Lucy is an Ok movie starring Scarlet Johansson as a woman threatened,
who unluckily stumbles into a very dark international illegal deal. When
trapped, she turns into a woman of incredible resourcefulness becoming a
merciless avenger rising above the logic
of human capability. It may appear to be an unrealistic premise, but it is entertaining.

The Answer:
The Queen of Dysfunctional cities is Las Vegas and gof
course leads in gambling.. New Orleans is tops for prescription drugs and Sex.
Denver has cornered marijuana, while Buffalo leads in MDMA (Ecstasy), Des
Moines Iowa is the cocaine center while Columbus Ohio leads the nation in
Heroin. Albuquerque owns the Crystal meth title while alcohol rules in
Pittsburgh. Of course a growing majority doesn’t think anything is a sin and
probably appreciate the above cities as Frost Class vacation destinations!
Eeee-Hah!
In honor of all of
the aging sixties revolutionaries in town for the great Newport Folk Festival,
I’ll be wearing my hair in a pony tail this weekend. It may be the shortest pony
tail in the history of Hipppiedom!
Have a great week end,
E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
