Today's Tids Issue 4,438
Tune in tonight:
Today is Mueller day.
How will the news be spun this evening? That is the question.
Small personal incidents
have become national events because somebody is always hovering with smart
phone to make a movie.
One of the biggest sins
of humans is overcooking fish.
Do you get the sense
that animal advocates are panting to nice a picture of wild beats? Wild is the operative
word. And eating and making love is what spurs them. Yesterday a nine year old
girl at Yellowstone got much too close to a bison, was charged and hurled into the
air. Homeonteh range
The Question:
Anna Paquin is a late thirty something already. What
was the name of the movie that gave her fame as a young actress?

Social media communications
allow extremes to dominate and appear as general public opinion. Meanwhile, the
public is busy doing people things, like praying, playing and allaying fears
together. Like sitting before fireplaces, making snowballs and sandcastles.
Absorbing the laughter of children. Saying. I love you; You look beautiful/Handsome
tonight.
One person’s child abuse
is another person’s preparing their child for a challenging world.
Did you know
that a very capable food historian from a major Ivy League University says that
Howard Johnson’s was one of America’s most transformative restaurant concepts?
And so many took it for granted. Remember Howard Johnson’s? Remember 24 Ice
cream flavors.
Did you hear
about the magician who wanted to incorporate a trap door into his act? It was
just a stage he was going through.
BTW, Barr didn’t initiate
a letter warning Mueller to stay within the bounds of his own report. Mueller
asked for a letter from Barr warning him to stay within bounds of the report.
So. Just about anybody how pays attention already knows what will be said. As I
said earlier, now it is only about the reporting of it.
Now Dunkin’ Donuts
is joining forces with “Beyond Meat”. It seems like many chains are looking to
sign up with the fake meat company. So, now when you walk into a fast food company,
who do you trust to give you what you like.
A room crowded
with couples doesn’t have a single person in it.
Speaking of quandaries,
what do you do if you are holding Boeing Stocks. Now, Boeing is a great company,
and is certainly a leader in the world in a super-critical industry. But the 737
Max problem is certainly playing havoc with their current operations. I think
you wait and sweat. The company has an order backlog of $474 Billion which includes
5,500 commercial planes. Last year they only delivered 90 planes compared to
194 the year before. Meanwhile they have to make whole injured airlines, and certainly
take care of families who lost loved ones. It will also cost more to produce 737
Max planes in the future. But, they are still Boeing and have the ability
rebound. It’s just a matter of how patient you are as an investor.
I like to think that
the Tids brings you information beyond the ordinary, the water drip torture of
the organized news outlets. But, until I stop talking about the weather and politics,
I will be just like every other news analyst. Repetitive.
Now in order get an upper hand
over opponents in the crowded Dem field, some panicked candidates are proposing
a $20 minimum wage. Rod Serling had a name for this – The Twilight Zone.
It’s tough to do
inventories in Afghanistan because of the tally ban.
In its own way,
Alexa and others like her may be teaching our kids manners. She doesn’t understand
directions when coming from a mouth full of food. Don’t talk with your mouth
full!
Jeopardy
should reevaluate their payoffs to contestants. Often very good players lose by
a dollar or two and must walk away with $2K for 2nd place, or $1K for
3rd. Why not give the runner up 50% of the money they earned and the
third-place finisher 25%! Actually, it wouldn’t bother me if they gave all contestants
what they earned. I, being considerate, was only thinking of the show’s accountants.
Remember when
incidents used to have a chance of being resolved quietly between disputing parties.
Now they become a national harangue. Is a digital world a better world?
Today you can be sued
for telling the truth if somebody or institution feels wronged by having the
truth about them revealed publicly.
The Answer:
Anna Paquin became famous in what I still think of
as a weird little movie – The Piano. At just 11 years old, she received the Best
Supporting Actress Oscar for that role as Flora McGrath – the second youngest
actress ever to receive an Oscar. BTW, do you know who was the youngest? Actually,
Justin Henry (8 years) in Kramer vs. Kramer was the youngest but Anna was second
in the actress category to Tatum O’Neal (10 Years). #3 at 16 was Patty Duke. On
the boy side, the youngest after Henry were Haley Joel Osment (11) and Brandon
de Wilde (11 – a few months older than Anna.
Brandon de Wilde.
Wow. I saw Shane three times. I kept on coming back.
