Today's Tids Issue 3,641
For Thoughtfulness:
I
cannot imagine the horror last night on that street in
Nice, but my stomach can feel it. My heart says there should not be evil that
deep in human beings, but eyes see the heartless brutality. My body wants to
run to throw arms around the distraught parents, spouses, lovers and friends to
console them, but my spirit is there praying to God for eternal comfort.
Whatever
happened to Todd Hamilton?
A
man knocked at my door and asked for a small donation towards
the local swimming pool, so I gave him a glass of water.
The
Question:
What did French soldiers find in 1799 that is called
“Instrumental in deciphering Egyptian hieroclyphics.” Bonus: Who are the last 5 winners of the British Open
The
Headlines:
--Healthy Retail Sales Report And Surging
Industrial Production For June Has Markets Opening Strong; Wells Fargo Earnings
Slip.
--Death Toll In Nice Up to 85; 30 More Are In Life
Or Death Status; Texas Dad And Son Among Those Killed.
--Ginsburg Apologizes For Comments, But Not To
Trump.
--Egypt Displays For First Time Oldest Writing On
Papyrus – Plans For Building Pyramids.
--Bear Locks Self In Teen’s Subaru.
--Sniper Firing At Police In Baltimore Shot And
Killed.
Passing
by a morning TV set I see mobs of giddy people awaiting
the latest PR visit of a celebrity, cheering madly, apparently totally
oblivious to the bodies of murdered French revelers lying in bloody masses on another
street across the ocean.
Billionaire
Charles Koch likened the choice between Hillary
And Trump to a choice between cancer and a heart attack. This is interesting in
that prospective VP choice Pence had as one of his attributes close ties to the
Koch Brothers. In other words, while yesterday Pence looked like a shoo-in,
maybe today Trump is thinking of a new direction – no cents, no Pence.
One
of Hillary’s problems is what happens to many who
misrepresent the truth: The more she says, “I’ve changed, meet the new me,” the
more people say, “why should we believe her now.”
At
least President Obama hasn’t come out to say what happened
in Nice was road rage.
Behind
every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
It’s
pretty much acknowledged that if Hillary gets in, there
will be a huge push for taxpayer funded nationalized health care. If Trump gets
in, nobody knows what to expect.
In
case you were wondering, Todd Hamilton won “The Open” in
2004, and has den little else since. He has played in 234 tournaments and has had
6 top ten finishes. At t e time of the Open win he was looked at as a promising
player. Mainly he gets to play ion Opens for life. But that was it. He is
currently in 116th place in The Open at Troon.
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--As far as I can remember, I don’t believe I have
spent all of these years hoping for a sequel to Ghostbusters. This one is for
Hillary as H-Wood women actors got to get to show that women can slime as well
as women. Strangely, the audiences who have seen it have been were less than
luke warm about the film, while the critics seemed to give it relatively high
grades. Maybe diversity is more important to them than content. Of the movie,
if you saw the first you’ve seen it, though even the critics say it is not as
good. So, basically it is a cultural event to give comediennes sequel rights.
--The Infiltrator has a good cast and enough to
keep you tense and interested. A US Custom’s Agent (Cranston) goes undercover to
infiltrate a blood soaked drug trafficking operators. You can imagine the tension
in this true story.
--Café Society is a Woody Allen romance film set in
the 1930’s with all of the glitter of Hollywood and New York café society and
its stars, socialites, debutants, playboys, gangsters and politicians. Actually,
it’s a nice human interest tale with a pleasant love story.
The
Answer:
The Rosetta Stone is not just the name of a
language learning course, it is the key to past knowledge. Bonus: Of Course, It is “The” Open. Britain does not have to be
defined! Last year it was Zach Johnson. Previous to the popular American we had
Northern Ireland’s Rory McElroy, USA’s Phil Michelson, South Africa’s Ernie Els
and Northern Ireland’s Darren Clark. The rest of the last Ten are Louis
Oosthuezen, Stewart Cink, Paidrig Harrington, Paidrig Harrinton, Tiger Woods
and Tiger Woods…and Todd Hamilton.
After
France, I am afraid for humanity. Our Presidential
election almost seems like conic relief for a dangerous world.
Have
a great Weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
He
who laughs last thinks slowest.
