Today's Tids Issue 4.643
Under the light-bulb:
We may be on the threshold
of an era which could become the greatest for creativity that the world has ever
known. That is, if the old saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention,” is still
operable.”
It is being forecasted
that by the end of this Pandemic there will be over a million lawsuits in process,
from Medical malpractice to Government interference, and everything in between.
Which, could help with the low oil price problem as multitudes of ambulance chasers
will be on the move at a rapid pace.
I have this inner sense
to always support the underdog, but I will never do that at the expense of condemning
the successful.
The political division
of today, and especially the hate for Trump, continually generates jaundiced logic.
Elon Musk:
“I would call forcibly imprisoning people in their homes against their constitutional
rights…breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not
why people came to America.” Musk added, “…But to say that they cannot leave
their house, and they will be arrested if they do. This is fascist. This is not
democratic. This is not freedom.” Just incase you are interested.
We all want
to belong. But, some of us are short.

How society changes:
Today nature afficionados will point out the lovely Osprey perched on high in a
manmade nest. In the past the fisherman would exclaim, how can we get rid of those
god dammed peaky Fish Hawks!
Statistics 101:
While governments have been issuing daily horror statistics, regular people are
asking more about how ay people have recovered, survived. You know, the good
news. In answer to that this State came up with hospital discharge stats, which
looked actually amazingly fantastic. It turns out that Hospitals classify deaths
as discharges! Today’s human will not only need a lawyer, accountant and doctor,
but also a statistical analyst to help them survive new unknowns of the days
ahead.
Our local weather people
go overboard warning us of heavy rainstorms. Yet, these rainstorms he same disaster
storms that wracked havoc with deadly tornadoes in the southwest and southeast.
They should be saying we are fortunate to be getting some nice rain today
without devastating side effects.
I’m all for Repubs
adding some tort reform to these CV spending bills. What good will the extra business
saving dollars be if small companies have to use them to defend themselves in court?
Some old locals
here in my town of Newport RI are beginning to say that this summer could look
a lot like the days following the move out of the US Navy Base in the 1970’s.
Yes, that is what a third
world country with no underlying economy other than tourism looks like when Covid
becomes your main visitor. Willow tree economies don’t work in the long run.
Actually, it has been very sad around here.
Obviously, the huge restaurant scene here is suffering like restaurants across America.
But here, the big events support a very large restaurants per capita location.
So far we have had cancelled a huge St Pats parade, the USGA Senior Men’s Open
Golf Championship, the nationally known Folk and Jazz Festivals, The 3 week
long international Classical Music Festival, many very well attended local
outdoor events, and numerous weddings in what has become a prime USA wedding location.
And most likely many of the most important national yachting events of the summer
will be seriously diminished. In addition, I heard this morn that the regulations
attached to the new Airline subsidy bill is likely to shutter the big RI airport
in favor of Logan in Boston. Close
enough, say government officials. Tourism brings in about $800 Million to this
town of 22-23,000. I like the peace, but I’m not important when it comes to the
lives of people dependent upon activity.
An umbilical cord
is a navel vessel.
I personally have this
sense that Unions are loving the government’s handing out money, setting new standards
of income upon which to build new demands.
The Answer:
Number one among foodies is Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,
The rest in order are “Chopped”, Beat Bobby Flay, Guys Grocery Games, The
Pioneer Women, Kids Baking Championship, The Kitchen, Holiday Baking Championships,
Worst Cooks in America and Halloween Baking Championship. The big creative cake
championship, Buddy and Duff, is only #25. #11 through 15 are Food Network
Star, The Great Food Truck Race, Good Eats: The Return, Cupcake Wars and
Barefoot Contessa.
Do you want to know
what I think? I think we’ll figure out a way to reenter society and overcome
nicely the negativity of forecasts.
