Quiet is Good:
The Leprechauns may be a-cryin’ this
mornin’, but the Irish hearts keep on lighting up the world.
If Saint Patrick
was able to drive the snakes out of Ireland, he should be able to take care of
a little old virus.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day,
E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
I have to say,
this is easily the weirdest time period I have experienced in my long life
time. And it isn’t just because bars are closed on St. P day. But that thought
alone is extreme, well outside the nominal curve of life.
Stock Tip:
Jigsaw Puzzle companies, the perfect way to spend hours while locked in your own
home. It would be a stock tip, if the stock market was behaving normally,
looking at individual equities instead of selling by panic alone.
Tom Brady has
just announced he is leaving that Patriots, on, of all days, Saint Patrick’s Day!
What kind of Irishman does that to his friends?
When retired
dentists get together, they play bridge.
BTW, and this is an
important BTW, there is plenty of food in this country. The dairy, meat and big
retailers say that food is being produced and that warehouses are full. That
the food supply chain is healthy. Costco says, “Transportation is functioning,
our suppliers are working around the clock and the flow of goods is strong.”
The National Chicken Council has 950 million pounds of chicken in cold storage.

The way the stock market
is behaving, you have to figure that the investors trading indiscriminately are
the same people, who have decimating the Toilet Paper supplies of Supermarkets.
At least hoarders
seem to be leaving alone salty, cheesy, orange snacks.
Of course, it will be sad
not to have Tom Brady at the controls. But I think that Tom going is just fine
with Belichick. He’s is a pretty smart guy, and he knows that it is time to

underground restaurants and bars.
Actually it is quite
disturbing how the government shut down the country, and now all the news is
about how they will bail out everybody who has lost anything
So did you hear about the
Irishman how pressed his luck by ironing his four leaf clover? Probably not.
Amazon is in the process of
hiring 100,000 new employees and that seems to make a lot of sense. People locked
in their homes who still have that craving urgency to buy something just to buy
something will be pounding away on their tablets and computer uncontrollably.
And, Sports betters
will find something to bet on. Anything.
The Answer:
Of course, the answer is the Quarantini! Oh know, I’m
losing it.
