Today's Tids Issue 3,348
Opening Stuff:
Do you realize how
long a poem it would be if I used all of the 73 words that rhyme with June.
Why it would be longer than a trip to Cameroon where I might travel to make
macaroons and become a tycoon. But, June is really about a big fat moon that
will make you swoon; with flowers that dance to a tune in the breezy afternoon
creating a moment opportune, to spoon. And my biorhythms are always attuned in
the month that rhymes with flying with my love in hot air balloon in an exhilarating
monsoon. Maybe we’ll land in a blue lagoon. Or find Brigadoon. I love June.
One thing that is for
sure in the world is that there is a lot more going on than anybody really
knows.
Building roads and
infrastructure is not an economy. Building roads and maintaining the
infrastructure creates a foundation upon what an economy can be built.
I guess what bothers
me as much as anything these days is remembering when a ten dollar bill in
my pocket felt pretty damn good.
Russia continues to
scrape by economically because Europe keeps on buying gas. But, did you
know that Germany has enormous gas fields that could keep Europe cracking, except
that German law doesn’t allow fracking. So EuroZone is lacking, and Putin keeps
on attacking.
The Question:
Bonus Monday:
Name what you think are the 5 best films from “Director” Clint Eastwood. Bonus: What and when was the first overt
act against the British, which became a building block to the Revolutionary War?

The are saying that
potential Tom Brady replacement, Jimmy Garofulo, has an addiction problem.
It’s Ice Cream. I think that’s a little less of a problem than that of Cleveland’s
Johnny Football! I guess if somebody had asked me what I would have liked to be
when I grew up, I’d have to say a good football QB with an Ice Cream addiction.
The good news around
here is that Fresh blue Fish is back on the menu, at least at Chopmist
Charles. In my limited gourmet mind, there is nothing better than the fresh
blues, which are sweet and delightful minutes from the hook. Smother it with Charlie’s Lobster Sauce (With
fries for dipping) and call an ambulance. You’ll have a smile on your face has
the EMT’s put you in an Oxygen tent, and you lie there contented with dreams of
Charlie standing on the docks of Jamestown at the end of Narragansett Ave
reeling in another catch of ambrosia for the next diner. Yumsville.
There is no truth to
the rumor that the Clinton Foundation is modeled after the Pahlavi
Foundation, But it is eerily similar to the money machine of Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi the former “king” of Iran who got out of town just before Sherriff
Khomeini came back to town. Bill and Hill were pretty smart students of history
and you gotta figure old Willie thought what’s good for one Royalty, is good
for another. Unfortunately, Lincoln Chafee Is not Khomeini.
Men generally choose Khaki
pants or shorts because all shirt colors go with them.
Headline they could
have used for FIFI scandal where Sepp’s henchmen were exposed.: “Blatter Control
Leaking.”
Despite the huge
scandal that allegedly saw $150 Million fall into the pockets of FIFA
Officials, I see where Sepp Blatter was easily reelected to lead the World
Soccer mess. People just don’t seem to care about the morals of the elected
officials any more. Hillary could lop off the head of a Bill girlfriend in a
public square and she’d still be elected as a woman scorned.
Most research shows
that Americans prefer people of strong moral character. The problem where some Repub
conservative candidates go awry is that the same Americans don’t like being preached
to. If they want preaching, they go to church. They seem to want a leader who
by the actions displays honest and moral character. I think the folks are tired
of words. As I keep on typing…
BTW, Blatter released
a torrent of words against US AG Lynch accusing the USA of being vindictive against
his organization which chose Russia and Qatar over her country. Did I just say “Blatter
released a torrent”?
Red Sox fans are
in love with Eduardo Rodriquez.
As far as I’m
concerned, this past weekend was Memorial Day weekend. It just felt better,
regardless of what our government says it is. Do you think Im’ a revolutionary?
Street sign seen
in a small Midwestern town: “Haveiture Way”.
We’ve had the Boomers
and the X’ers and whatever my generation is called. But, has there ever been a better
name for the current group than “Selfies”.
The Answer:
AMC says the best movie directed by Clint was Unforgiven. Next
on the list was Gran Torino, followed by
The Outlaw Josey Wales, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Letters from
Iwo Jima, A Perfect World, Changeling, Invictus, and the Bridges of Madison
County. Uh-oh -- This top ten list was before American Sniper. I would put the
Chris Kyle story fourth behind Million Dollar, Gran and Unforgiven. I thought
AS was good but at times felt lengthy and tiresome…and besides I knew the
ending. Bonus. On June 9 1772 Off Namquid
Point at Pawtuxet Village RI, a group of locals led by John brown And Abraham
Whipple rowed out and burned down the British Customs Schooner HMS Gaspee, which
had ran aground in shallow waters while chasing a smuggler. That was a full
year before the more romanticized Boston Tea Party. Boston just had better
poets than RI.
Well we made it
into June. I’ll be back soon.
