November 5, 1961: The Day the Earth Smiled.



Today's Tids Issue 3,459
Opening Stuff:

Some moments stop clocks, become so meaningful they’re like living cells in your body. You relive them easily like yesterdays were today. You may be caught smiling to yourself when walking down a street. You feel little tugs on your heart when what may have been at the time just insignificant glances or movements or expressions; now flashing by your mind for no other reason than that they are always there in your memories. Our brains must hold an awful lot of gigabytes. Perhaps, though, thoughts of all of those you have loved are not just in your mind but part of you. I’m smiling today.

Several of my closest friends are very good tennis players. Tennis must be good for building character.

Most people, including all of those who believe whole-heartedly in Climate Change, are not worried about it and rank it low on concerns about the future of their nation and world. Millions upon millions of people seem to understand that it is natural in a complex world ro a climate to alter its behavior over time. My guess is that the last thing people want politicians involved in is changing the weather patterns…like they have really done well with everything else.

This may warm your hearts, Department:
Letterman says that Georg Bush is serious about fighting global warming “and is sending 20,000 troops to the sun! – Jay Leno predicts that “if Global Warming continues Hillary Clinton will thaw out by 2015.” –Jimmy Kimmel Says that GW’s plan to fight global warming is to lower the temperature by changing form Fahrenheit to Celsius. –According to Conan O’Brien, “Scientists say that because of Global Warming the oceans are going to rise 4 ½ feet. They say their only concerns are that Gary Coleman may drown. Shoot me.

The Question:
  1. What does LSV mean at the opening of a TV program? 2. Who was the only President who was elected to four terms?

Candidates Honesty and Trustworthy Poll, Department:
 Ben Carson is viewed by Americans as far and away the most honest of them all, grabbing 60% who say he is honest. That translates to an “Honesty Score” of +34 (Difference Between Honest % and non-honest %) Next on the score sheet after Carson is Bernie Sanders at +12 followed by Kasich at +11 and Huck at +10. Hillary comes in at a meager -26 (That’s “-“ as in minus). Her percentage score is 35% down from the previous poll score of 45%. Her “not honest”. percentage is 61%. Trump has a minus 18, slightly worse than Christy at minus 16. The rest are Rubio +5, Paul +4, Fiorina +4, Cruz -2 and Jeb -4. Clinton does better among Dems with 68% honest. Tis was a Fox News telephone Poll.

The football picks didn’t suck last week. We brought our total to 77-42 or up a notch to 64.7%. My goal is to get to Tom Brady’s passing percentage! Ok, tonight we have a good old fashion Ohio fight with Paul Browns old team going against the Paul Brown family’s currant team. I think it will be a good one, but Cinncy keeps on proving each week they are not a fluke; I believe Cleveland is one of those teams on the cusp. I gotta to go Bennies. Sorry friends by the lake. The game of the week has to be the Pack and the Panthers. Tough call, but I’m looking for a GB rebound. The Patriots have had a week to rest injuries, but the Skins will not be a walk in the park. Pats. The Saints are much better now, and Tennessee had their fling in game one. NO. The Dolphins might find their legs again in warmish Buffalo, but the Bills are due and I’m with Rex this week. War of the Week II is the tough Rams against a very good Minn team. I’m picking the Rams. The Jets should be able to coax their fans off the Triborough Bridge with a win over Jax. I’m also excited about Oakland’s emergence. I’m letting my heart pick an upset over the Steelers in a very tough game. If the Jints have any points left after last week’s record, they should take the Bucs. Or maybe not. Do you feel my angst here? NYG. The Falcons seem to running out of steam, but SF isn’t gaining any. Going with the home team, SF. This will be a TV and main stream media favorite with Manning versus Manning’s replacement. The problem is the Indy team and the replacement are not looking that good. Denver is good enough to overcome the crowd noise. I like the Eagles over the Cowboys and The Chargers over the Bears in the who cares bowl. Gentlemen, inflate your footballs!

I may have suck it up and root for the tattletale Colts over Denver. The Pats need a Denver loss somewhere along the way.

There are few words more descriptive than “Sleaze”.

Why can’t the Boston Bruins get speed skaters like Tyler Seguin?

It says here that more people are having sex to fulfill their Fitbit requirements.

More and more people are looking at “Black Lives Matter” and wondering why there isn’t more focus on getting rid of drugs and gangs in neighborhoods.

Tids Gossip, Department:
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are dating. Stefani says she’s doing it to keep Shelton’s hands off her team.

Marco Rubio is learning fast what it means to be and emerging frontrunner in modern day politics. The sleaze operatives are dumping a muddy California mountain on him

The Parking Lot: Chapter 25 continues…
    Nancy whispered, “Jared, don’t turn and shoot, it’s me, Nancy. She heard large exhale of Jared’s breath. She knew he was getting tense about the mess she had dragged him into. Actually, she thought, he came willingly. He just didn’t know what it was all about. The 2 by 4 in the parking lot should have been a clue. It was for her. “Just stay where you are. I’ll come to you.” Still whispering, “You walk through the bushes like an elephant! And don’t laugh”.
   She magically appeared by his side and gave him a little hug. She didn’t think he wanted to let go. “So why are you here,” she said as she directed him north into a little hidden glade. “What’s going on? You should have called.”
   “I’m not that smart.” He paused. “As you remember Beth and I were to keep tabs on Fred to see where he might lead us, to give you time, you know, with everything you have to do.” He went on to explain the story of the cavalcade of cars.
   “Lets see if we can get closer,” she said grabbing his hand.
   “Closer?”
   The birds stopped chirping as the soft rumble powerful engine of the BMW oozed across the ground to their ears. She felt his hand squeeze hers tighter.

The Answer:
1. LSV is supposed to be a warning to the young and timid but is probably more of draw to the young and curious. It stands for Language, Sexual Situations and Violence. 2. This was just a silly question to make you think twice about the 4th election of FDR. It was tis election that gave us the 22nd Amendment, an amendment that some have said that Obama would like to break. He could just make an executive decision and go around the Supreme Court too.

Let’s close it out with Chris Stapleton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpHdzimhRQ
