Faith is good:
It’s
the end of May. Should we runaway? Yes, this May was
the worst month of this year for stocks. Will they continue to swoon in June? I
generally don’t cry until July. But my eyes don’t belie. Something is happening
that’s market busting. Should I trust August, or go bust in September. You got
to be bold to hold. Or will Trump change his mind and give us a bump. Good
grief!
Do
you think that that the slow disappearance of God from people’s
lives has begat a growing population that can’t tell the difference between right
and wrong? Like thou salt not kill, thou shalt not steal, littering is revolting
to others. I do.
The
dog who gave birth by the side of the road was arrested
for littering.
Watch
out Boston Cream Pie! RI’s Coffee Milk pie is poised to become
the regional favorite -- maybe in several decades. Note: I have always been a big
fan of Boston Cream Pies. Or is it a cake? That’s the argument for the ages. The
BCP recipe was first discovered in 1872 in the “Methodist Almanac”. RI’s coffee
milk Pie was unveiled this week. And, it is a cake that’s called a pie. Regardless,
I’ll dive in every time.
The
Question:
Today, the top of Mount Everest is a Times Square
gridlock; amateur hour at 29,029 feet. And people are dying. It was 63 years
ago today that one man and one guide reached the top. Who were they? Bonus: 229 years ago today the 13th
Colony ratified the Constitution. Which Colony, now a state, was it? Extra Bonus: What are the other four of
the five highest mountains?

There
many special things which are unique, that over time become
a commodity. No matter how daunting the challenge. It’s time to walk away. One of
them is climbing Mount Everest.
Did
you know that insurance companies are now requiring “Active
Shooter” defense training classes for all institutions like churches, colleges
and Schools? And Businesses.
The
latest trend will be CBD infused everything. In case you
are as naive as I, CBD stands for Cannabidiol which is described as a natural cannabinoid
found in cannabis (Well, that sure clears that up). CBD’s have been effective
for pain, like for old people just after golf. Or, more importantly, for serious
chronic pain situations. Many people just use it to relax. I expect it will become
a staple in a lot of homes in the future. You know how people chase fads. There
CBD beers, Chocolate bars, cocktails shampoos and lately anything anybody can
think of. Or just creams and salves for external application. But, people like it,
and it seems to work, But, I’ll avoid because I have an addictive personality.
CBD Cheetos?
The
top 3 hotdog makers have been named: #3 -- Oscar Maeyr; #2
-- Nathans and #1 Costco. A the Tids resident food expert wrote the this morn
saying that he agrees100% with the Costco choice, especially when he eats those
steamed at the store. At home, he normally grills them outside, but finds that the
casing toughens up. So, he may go to steaming inside, which is extra grief for
sure. But, he says it will be worth it. Everything that’s worth it in life take
a little more effort.
I
wrote a song about tortillas that’s more of a rap.
Six
giant malware programs have caused about $95 Billion worth
of damage through system infection. They are: ILOVEYOU, MyDoom, SoBig,
WannaCry, DarkTequila and BlackEnergy. Don’t take little intrusions lightly. By
the way, an artist just downloaded all of these vicious malware programs into a
laptop and somebody bought it for $1.3 Million, calling it contemporary art.
Yikes!
BTW,
I got nervous just typing those six names into that Tidlet.
Former
Commish of the MLB says that we got to get over politicizing
White House invitations to champions form sports or even spelling bees. The visits
should be looked upon as recognition at the highest level in the USA for
achievement. Thanks for a job well done. And, denizens in the highest highest office
in the land, also have to get over politicizing their affiliation with
champions.
Maaaa…
What did you do with my baseball card collection?
People
like Tom Hiddleston for his Loki performances.
Buying
a
car is never fun.
At
liberal Brown U’s commencement, a speaker began with a
rather incendiary statement obviously intended to add fuel to today’s
combustible divide: “Today we are standing on occupied territory from the
Wampanoags.” (Local Indian tribe of yore, now in Cape Cod fighting for a
casino.) But this academic giant got it all wrong. So, what’s new about that in
today’s world of academia? Prior to the arrival of the Pilgrims, the aggressive
Narragansett nation took the said land form the Wampanoags. In 1636 when Roger
Williams came over here to get away from annoying Puritans, he bought that land
from the Narragansetts. I have found that multiple Letters after an academic’s
name doesn’t necessarily an expert make. With apologies to many good and honest,
dear academic friends. With apologies to Narragansett fiends.
Two
thousand pounds of Chinese soup is Won Ton.
Speaking
of Misconceptions. It appears those thinking that
socialism for the USA is Ok are growing in percentages – up to 43%. Many believe
that we should be socialistic like Norway, Sweden. But, that’s not what social agenda
promoters are pushing. For example, No Scandinavian country has a minimum wage.
Sweden is all about Freedom of School choice. Forbes Mag notes that these
countries rate high on “Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom” Despite
uninformed beliefs, this is not Bernie or Elizabeth or Buttigieg country -- Where
its all about the state ownership and control. People have been conned by
social promises for years, yet true socialism
has done nothing but destroy good societies. The problem is that It doesn’t appear that the
youth, the largest percentage of those for drastic change, don’t have the knowledge upon which to make
such a momentous, country destroying decision.
As
long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools.
The
Answer:
Edmond Hillary Now Sir Edmond and Tensing Norgay opened
the pathway to the highest place on earth. Bonus:
Rhode Island was always the laggard and it took a while for this little state to
get on board with the rest of the original 13. Extra Bonus: K2 Is 28,251, Kangchenjunga 28,169, McKinley (Denali)
20,310 and Kilimanjaro 19,341.
Atheists
don’t solve exponential equations because they don’t believe in higher powers.
