Today's Tids Issue 3.402
Opening Stuff:
“I put my Grandma on speed-dial. I call
that Instagram.” Thanks to The Tids favorite
Punster for getting the morning moving with punny wordplay.,
For
the first time around here yesterday, it felt like summer. Yet there was still a bit
of breeze that soften the normal dog day feeling of still, sultry hot days typical
of Mid-Augusts past. Yet, the air did smell a little different, as birds sang a
little softer; bunnies moved slower in the early morning shadows. It wasn’t
record setting, suffocating heat, but we all knew it was different. Maybe it
was the “muggies that did it. Well that’s about it for summer for me.
OMG,
yesterday we received our first 2016 calendar! Does that mean that we missed
Christmas? Or is the left trying to
divert attention way from that special day of Christ’s birth by fucusing secular
materialistic romp called New Years day. That’s how ISIS does it, just when you
think you’re winning, they drop a bomb where you least expect it. 98 shopping
day’s to Christmas. It may be commercial, but it keeps ted a alive.
The
NLRB yesterday ruled unanimously against the idea of
unionizing College football players. What a mess unionized student athletes
would have been. As much as the real purpose has been lost in seemingly widely accepted
the idea by many that the very expensive colleges are primarily a deserved
right of passage, and a place to play sports, in reality it is still known as
higher education. And the purpose is l-e-a-r-n-i-n-g! Unionizing athletes would
have put even more undo emphasis on an activity that should be at best a diversion
from the main purpose of colleges.
The
Question:
What music group was on the first ever Compact Disc
(CD)? And, what was the song?

ISIS
is the trendy terror group of the moment, but don’t count
out al-Qaida. The media has a tendency to alter priorities through their emphasis
on news events, but the fact is that the Osama generated group is larger and in
more important positions of power throughout many countrues worldwide.
A
person this morning asked me, “How is your summer
going?” I answered “Same as winter, I just wear different clothes.” I don’t measure
happiness by seasons, but as I mused to myself about this I realized that there
are people who aren’t enjoying life so much at any given moment. It may be
emotional interruptions, or perhaps ongoing chemo or tragic human events. So, I
like to take a step back from my own euphoria, and feel for all of those who
are just having abad day, ot week, or month or year.
If
I say jeb Bush Trumpets out new plan on Societal Security,
can I say Trump Bugles out plan to defeat ISIS at the walls of Jericho. Or something
like that?
Did
you see where Bob Woodward said that the Hillary emails are
worse than the Nixon tapes?
In
New England, those chocolate or multi colored sprinkles
that go on ice cream are called “Jimmies”?. I’ve been told by kids that the
word Jimmies has been banned in schools as a way to describe the tasty morsels,
as it may be injurious to kids named Jimmy. I’m proposing to the state legislature
that my nick name not be used as another name for male organs.
Whoever
invented Knock-Knock jokes should get a No-bell prize.
In
case you are interested, RI grown potatoes are at farm stands
again. The little reds melt in your mouth.
Russian,
Iran and Syria sounds like the WWII Axis all over
again.
Red
Sox pitchers seemed to be pitching with a little more
confidence lately when they had an outfield that could actually catch batted
balls. That is, until yesterday when the stone hands Ramierez returned and let
in 5 runs with a little league misplay. It destroyed a pretty good first outing for a
rookie pitcher. The management feed the fans big bats, but the game needs fielding
and all around play. Bring back the Killer “B’s”. Sorry rest of the country for
the home team rant.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 10 continues…
The
youthful couple was barely out of sight from the tribal summer camp, when they
brought their horses to a halt, and leaned towards each other to kiss. The kiss
lingered, longer than usual. They were still at the point where they were
nervous about all seeing elders who could be anywhere at any point, But their
hunger for each other was growing. This long kiss was their first reckless act.
Their lips
parted, but their eyes didn’t. Finally Masetta spoke.
“You are quiet
today, Richard, is something wrong?”
He paused
for a while and she looked at him, lovingly, patiently. “It’s you, Elizabeth, I
can’t stop thinking of you. All my days I think of you. When I sleep I dream of
you.” He stopped and looked at her beauty, her small body that was so perfect
to him. “Yet when I’m with you now, I don’t what to say, because my words will
not be good enough, be beautiful enough as you. Be as perfect as a moment like this”
She laughed
and reached up an grasped his hands. You are so silly Richard. “We can just
live for each other, and not say a word, and we will understand.”
Her words
just like her being thrilled Richard, and just as he started to dismount, they both
turned to see what the rush of noise behind them was.
