Find something new, you'll never be bored:
I’m
still sittin’ here
In
my Tids-Typin’ Chair.

For
when you are feeding
But
not when your breeding!
I
hope I’m succeeding.
C the Difference, Department:
Ovid – The “Last of the Latin Love Elegists”. Wrote “Ars
Amatoria”, The Art of Love, as part of his “Metamorphoses”, his major work,
highly regarded through the ages and considered to have been a significant Influence
on Western Art and Literature.
Covid – Dirty, rotten, stinking, deadly disease capable
of destroying a society; art and literature and all.
I heard that AOC
was on the price Is Right”. She didn’t do too well. She thought everything cost
0.
All is really not
that bad. Charlie Brown won a baseball game!
Even less relevant
these days than weather reporters are Traffic reporters.
We have had an abundance of
pretty nice weather. I think a lot of people are wishing that there was some big
vault in the sky where we could stow them away for some time in the future when
we can use them better.
The Question:
What Hall of Fame baseball player who in one game in
three consecutive innings threw out runners at Home, Third and Second? Bonus:
There are only two number that rhyme. What are they? There are only about 5
good words that rhyme with those two, What are they?.

I had this nightmarish thought. What
happens if the Government doesn’t need to spend all of that $2.3
Trillion emergency CV dollar fund? And new funding in the works in the House. Will they give it back? I don’t think so. Politicians
don’t give money back. It is not unlikely to consider that the wide eyed rabid
left side of the Dem party would exert extreme pressure on Lala-Pelosi to spend
it all on all of those much too expensive Liberal give-away programs. That is
indeed how the Coronavirus could change the way America works forever.
And Bernie will re-ignite
his now flagging campaign, saying, I can spend Covid dough better.
We have our first four suggestions
for the “Covid Anti-Anxiety, Total Relaxation Playlist”. They are Jazz piano by
the great Ahmad Jamal, Easy listening Michael Bublé, “Talking Heads” jumping
Rick and one great oldie from the fifties you can hear at the end of today’s
Tids. As you can see, this list could be comprised of multi-genre faves, Get your
own favorites in today!!
Easily one of the largest
sporting events in Rhode Island was held yesterday – opening day for trout fishing!
The states wildlife authorities did a good job under difficult restrictions, and
anxious anglers joined in to make it all quite Coronavirus safe. The fish didn’t
join in on the accolades.
Did you hear about the guy
who stood up his girlfriend after asking her to the gym? He was hoping she’d realize
the two of them were not going to work out.
Well, they are saying
that this virus likes cats better than dogs. So your cat may catch it, but your
dog may spread it. That’s because people love to pet happy dogs with wagging
tails, but who knows which sneeze-goo laden hand had patted the fur last? Be cautious.
Whether or not
the glass coffin business takas off remains to be seen.
We have always had
advanced foodies who could look askance at people not up to the moment with the
trendiest edibles. It happens every year or so. I remember well back when people
were happily eating Cantonese Chinese food and suddenly became ostracized when the
fashionable began dipping their chopsticks into the hot Szechuan trend. Now Szechuan
is just another couple of items on a Chinese Restaurant menu while the foodies
are all galloping through the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and South America
to tantalize their sensitive palates -- and
USA artisan gardens.
Everything is being pushed
to September which seems a long way off. But, without a vaccination or good therapeutic,
will it really be any different than it is now? Really. And if the heat of
summer is supposed to kill all those nasty germs, how come Florida and Arizona
have cases? I think I’m sounding like a pessimist, and it doesn’t feel right.
How can that be?
The Answer:
The two rhyming numbers are seven and eleven. East.
They only rhyme with Heaven and Leaven and few names like Evan, Devin, Levin
and Kevin. Bonus: One of my all-time favorite baseball players was Al
Kaline, the Detroit Tiger super player. He died yesterday. He did all better
than most, and he was a wonderful person
too.
Go back in time
