I’ll never stop being a dreamer.

Today's Tids Issue 3,182

Opening Stuff:

 

This morning was a fleece morning. How great is that!

 

Harry Read wannabee, Nancy Pelosi went way down into the rabbit hole saying over the weekend that, “Civilization as we know it would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.” Yikes, Nancy -- The Republicans are worse than ISIS! If Nancy had been watching the new PBS Ken Burns Roosevelt saga, she would have learned that it was Teddy and his Repub Congress that created all of the concepts of fairness, curbed the power of the wealthy and promoted opportunities for labor. I guess you could say that the Repubs of the turn of the century were a danger to civilization -- In the mid 1900’s the Repubs created humane programs that have become for the Dems the basis for their idiosyncrasies today.

 

I say ISIS. The admin says ISIL. I guess it just depends on what IS, is.

 

The Question:

Name the ten top cities where “Millenials” want to buy a home. Bonus: Chickens are known not to have Bucket lists. Why?

 

The Headlines:

--Fed To Hold Rates Steady For A “Considerable Time” After It Stops Buying Bonds In October; The Question __ What Is “Considerable” Time?

--Kurdish Troops Drive Back IS Militants From Several Syria Villages.

--1^st US Air Strike Against Jihadists Near Baghdad.

--Obama Authorizes Sending 3,000 US Tropps To Fight Ebola Epidemic.

--Wildfires That Torched 100 Homes Still Roaring.

 

Line dancing was started by women waiting for the ladies room.

 

Ken Burns new series on The Roosevelts almost seems as a justification of Obama’s disregard for the Constitution and his stealth takeover of private functions by a bloated government. But that what Teddy began over 100 years ago has gotten so way out of balance, that the Repubs of today have to move the pendulum back to sanity.

 

In case I forget at the time, some of the one-liners in the Tids are sent in by readers. So thanks. Just in case I missed you, and you’re feeling blue.

 

Speaking of “Civilization in Jeopardy”, how about a Democrat ticket of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders?

 

If any of you ever read one of the four Tids novels --"The Tie that Binds", "Almost Near", "Through the Same Eyes", "The Conscience" --  serialized here in the daily Tids, tell me if you found them enjoyable. Tell me what you hated. As soon as my time opens, I will start a new one.

 

My goal in life is to be able to afford a Rolex replica watch. I shoot low. It’s just another sign of the new economy.

 

A couple of days ago I offered a little sarcasm about the Government nationalizing “Eating”. But, I keep hearing reports of the growth of the take-out food and eating out industries to the point where they are saying Home Cooked meals with disappear totally.  They give as a main reason two working parents with little time to cook. It sad to sense that the economy is so inflated that it takes two salaried adults per home in order to be as comfortable as the days gone by when one income was sufficient. In fact, the two family income is could be one major cause of inflation. Of course, they say Women want to work. Fine. But some don’t, and some men don’t either. And then, curiously, a large part of salaries seem more and more going for the support of the restaurant business. So, the new economy is full of incongruities and contradictions. Frankly, I think home cooking tastes better, is cheaper and more pleasant than sitting in a restaurant where you can’t hear, looking at menus that appear more and more similar, except at newer places overrun with vegetable items.

 

Marriott is leading the charge to tip housekeeping employees better. Companies love ideas for their employees that consumers pay for.

 

The Answer:

Millenial’s home buying dream must be all about affordability and job opportunities…and maybe marijuana, because the magnificent Northeast is not represented at all. Number one is Austin Texas followed by Dallas. Next are Denver, Des Moines, Grand Rapids Mich, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Ogden Utah, Salt Lake City and Seattle. The Honorable Mentions are Madison Wisc, Nashville, Omaha, Raleigh and DC. Buddy Cianci will put Providence back on the map of hope! Bonus: Mike Peters says that chickens don’t have a bucket list because of that KFC thing.

 

Dreaming of what might be, what might have been, can fill hearts to bursting, inspire goals to be achieved and satisfy a loving soul. Dreams are only dashed if you don’t do anything about them. Of course, being a good rationalizer, procrastinator helps too.
