Lolling

Today's Tids Issue 4,425

Detensify:

This is the morning (Oh, It’s afternoon now. Sorry) after the fireworks and the acres of food and injections of American heart puffing pride. And I was thinking after I sent out my Tids yesterday that more than ever we do need a return to simple joining together in neutral non-political events, without anxious activists at the gate. Put down the signs and the bull horns for just one day, or maybe four a year. Come in and mingle with people as people. That after all. is who we are.

Lolling: Recline, or lean in a relaxed, lazy or indolent manner. There are times like today when everybody is scurrying to find a special holiday Eden. Avoid at all costs joining the madcap race to commercialized promise lands. Watch them clamor while you sit back and loll; where you just let your body sag, and your mind droop. Watch the tension ooze. I can’t think of a better time than now.

So, if the left are progressives, does that make the right stifleists?  Or futurists using rational restraint.

Musicians who go on a rampage, break into stores and steal are known as luters.

I’ve seen enough fireworks for this year.

The Question:

In what year, which was the first South American Country to declare independence from Spain?

The shameless attacks on Joe Biden is the classic example of how the Left will screw America.

If you really look back into early America and read town and village histories, you’ll see quite clearly that almost all people who made America were basically having lots of kids and then trying to figure out how to feed them.

He labored so hard that he worked his fingers to the bonus.

A good reader writes to tell us that his three favorite things are eating his family and not using commas.

Yesterday morning the neighbor of my daughter lost their home to a terrible fire. One of the problems was finding enough fire engines to come. Many were in 4th of July parades!

I know they all work very hard and are quite talented, but modern entertainment is just too much the same and, frankly, tedious.

There is typically a lot of new workers added to payrolls in June. It’s all about the tourist industry. But, stats may tell a better story as jobs were added most in Professional and Business Services followed by Health Care, Transportation and Warehousing, Construction and Manufacturing for the first time in four months.

A new statistical report lists the largest company for each state: Texas has the biggest #1 in Exxon at $294B. Next is Cal with Apple $256B, Nebraska with Berkshire-Hathaway $$247B, Washington with Amazon $2332B, Minnesota with United Health care $226B and a #6 Rhode Island with CVS $194B. Technology, healthcare and the Wizard who is joining techno CEO’s to get into Health Care. Do you think there is a message there? It will be a great industry if consumers can afford the products.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--Spider-Man: Away Form Home is a winner. Peter Parker becomes an adult as other superheroes watch him step into his role as savior. Good action, well written and sensible.

--Midsommar is an artistic achievement, loved by citric, but the new horror film seems beyond average horror film movie goers. A group of somewhat elitist friends gather in a Swedish village for a carefree holiday. But they didn’t consider the insular villagers who invite them to join local festivities which turn a bit grisly.

--A highly traded French film, The Return Of Martin Guerre, has the title character returning home and surprising his wife after nine years, but many feel he is an imposter as he has become too nice.

The Answer:

In 1812 Venezuela stepped up and declared independence from Spain. Ow brave and farsighted were they. Now they are beholden to a flock of socialist/communist overlords.

Loll well my delightful readers. It’s too hot and the roads are too crowed to go anywhere. Vegging is in the cards for me, and I’m a devoted meat-eater. You got to take inertness where you can find it.

Happy 4rth weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
