This Too Shall pass.

Today's Tids Issue 4,152

For Happy Coincidences:

I read this morning that teens are slowing down on drugs, drinking and sexual dilly dallying. So, maybe this is the generation that will be waking up to a new understanding of maturity and ease the tensions between warring political ideologies. Pendulums swing.

Senior “Mooning”: Dropping drawers to show surgery scars.

There is so much hysteria feeding basically irrelevant news stories, that when something truly newsworthy occurs it slips beneath the noise machines; it generally appears as lackluster.

Is Trump moving to new tariffs on China and other country’s goods while his “Free Market” Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow Is in the hospital with a heart attack.

Things I really like to read, Department:

“U.S. Department of Justice has nabbed scores of scammers involved in internet Fraud totaling million”. I think a lot of people sit and wonder what’s going on beneath the keyboard and screen that may be affecting their security in the new world of mass communications. I like to think what is going on is that law forces are doing a better job than dark manipulators. 74 email hijackers were arrested, 42 in the USA, 29 in Nigeria and 3 others in Canada, Mauritius and Poland. Add to Tids capital punishment list?

The Question:

I’ve got a Top ten list of true crime Netflix shows that people like. What do you think are they are?

One of more astute fellow readers is mounting campaign to boost Christina El Moussa for president. Dems are going with Kathy Griffin.

We have to wonder what people who replace “you” with “u’ in texts do with all of that extra spare time.

I read several stories today about the opening of legal sports betting in New Jersey and the glee of addicted gamblers coming out of the dark world. I found the stroies disheartening.

I’ve been told that a good TV show for those of you who like home restorations is “Stone House Revival” on DIY Network starring Jeff Devlin. It is about restoring authentic old Stone Houses of Bucks County Pa. It is refreshingly devoid of trying to incorporate every modern day decorating trend into the finished product, ala another famous network.

Even though you are far away, you never know how close you may be. You think that you are disconnected but realize that perhaps you have stood in the same footprints. Coincidences in life are not random but the result of similar like people doing the same things.

“If anyone tries to tell you that biscuits and gravy isn’t a meal, stop talking to them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.” – Anonymous.

Here’s another class of candidates for the Tids capital Punishment lists: All of those drivers who rush up the left or right lane after seeing a merge sign instead of immediately easing into traffic with plenty of time to spare. The real jams come from late merging. I always applaud trucks that block these lanes of apparent opportunity but are more those of selfishness.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--The Incredibles will be enjoyed by all. While somewhat home

bound, the superheroes rise to the occasion when a new villain emerges with a dangerous plot. The family also must adjust to the evolving, but not fully understood powers of Baby Jack.

--Tag is a fairly uninspiring movie about a bunch of adults trying to complete a childhood game of “tag” by getting to an “untagged” friend on his wedding day. You’ve seen it before, but I expect those who liked the Hangover series will like this poor man’s version too.

--Superfly is not on my list. This mediocre film is a redo about a drug dealer trying to get out of the business, and not nearly as decent as the original.

The Answer:

Mindhunter is considered #1. Next is The Staircase followed by Manhunt Unabomber, Ozark, Amanda Knox, American Crime Story: The People Versus O.J. Simpson, The Iceman, Wild Wild Country, Christine and #10 -- Dark.

In case you’re interested, “Autocorrect” sucks.

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
