Today's Tids Issue

For Judiciousness:
Is
it me, or do you also think that the markets have risen too
high too fast? I hate it when stocks are on a precipice.
In
today’s technologically efficient society, more free time
becomes very expensive.
A
clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.
I
love that music that sets the mood for the LG Signature commercials.
It is called “Into the new” and is written by Mark Peter Revell. I’m looking for
more on Revell. Maybe with this success he’ll write a couple of string
quartets.
Silly
me,
I thought the headaches would end with the end of the annoying campaigns.
The
Question:
How many Federal Reserve Banks are there in the USA.
Name five of the cities where they are located. Bonus: Name 5 of your favorite songs from Sound of Music which
opened on Broadway 57 years ago today.

How
about that San Francisco? They voted to make pot available
for all, and made it harder to buy soda pop. It just gets weirder and weirder
out there.
Regardless
of the post-election boomlet, I think we’ll have a sketchy
market under Trump. The markets hate volatility and seat of the pants decision-making.
A letter writer
from one of the more culturally elite sections of RI says he is “ashamed of
America because the ‘Hillbillys’ have taken over.” Well, I’d say that the real
people have moved up to a more dominant role exactly because of people like the
writer, the arrogant and condescending self-proclaimed better-than-you hoards in
the “fashionable” districts of big cities and academia of the universities.
For all of you
who think the folks in Rock-a-Billy nation are pretty damn good folks, you’ll
see them at their happiest in a huge event this weekend, which I have on my
docket – NASCAR Chase Series Sprint Championship. All year the great drivers have been amassing
points and now they are down to 16 for a great race this weekend in Florida:
Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Danny Hamlin, Kevin Harvik, Carl Edwards, Martin
Truex Jr., Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Tony
Stewart, Kurt Busch, Chris Buescher, Chase Elliot, Austin Dillon and Jamie MacMurray.
I give you the full list of the best of the year just in case you’ve lost track
of who’s who in Nascar. No, Richard Petty isn’t racing nay more. Gentlemen,
start your engines!
Around here,
NCAA Basketball is a big deal. URI is 21 in the country and wining by the
kind of margins a top team is supposed to win by. Providence College looked
much better in it’s opener than expected. Positive Spirits are high around here
in b-ball.
Rudy Giuliani for Secretary
of State?
Oh, did you see where
it was announced yesterday that Hillary edged out DT for a win in New Hampshire…which
is among the “whitest states in America (1% Black). So much for the false
premise about Trump being the white candidate.
Doesn’t that
headline above
sound a little odd, “Rise up against Pro-Life.” Add that to things I don’t
understand.
My guess is that
we are going
to get a lot of new technology that will help us perform small tasks we all do
quite well now without it.
I think one of
the problems today
with so much money lying around, is that people who have it don’t worry too much
about costs and tend to drive up prices, especially in real estate where
valuations are starting to get whacky again.
Princess Leia is looking old.
Sundance Head
needs
a better song selection for next week’s The Voice.
The Answer:
Originally
authorized in 1913, there are 12 FR banks: Boston, NY, Philly, Cleveland, Richmond,
Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, KC, Dallas, and San Francisco. Bonus: I would bet that many people know
all of the words of the SoM songs; The Hills are a live with the Sound of Music!
And it goes on from there: Maria, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen gong on Seventeen, My favorite
Things, The Lonely Goatherd, How can Love Survive, So Long Farewell, Climb
Every Mountain, No way to stop it, An Ordinary Couple, Processional, Edelweiss.
Humming yet?
Think for
yourselves and
you won’t be sucked in by a false premise to doing something stupid.
