The path widens.


Today's Tids Issue 4,667

Vanilla for me:

 

The sea is like the lives we have

From utter calm to vicious roar.

Tides always rise, tides always fall.

The waves touch peoples afar.

It never chooses as it touches shores.

It’s just there rolling on.

Yet, it always demands respect.

 

How do you invite a dinosaur for lunch”?

Tea, Rex?

 

I got up this morning and saw beautiful flowers outside my window. sitting in morning fog yet bathed in sunlight. And, I decided to obliterate everything negative form my mind. So, I’m looking at the world today through glistening dew drops slipping done the sides of colorful petals. That’s about the extent of it for today.

 

The Difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

 

The Question:

When things seem bleak, ice cream always comes to the rescue. Name the top ice cream brands.

The longest running 4th of July parade in America right up from here in Bristol RI was cancelled this year because of you-know- what. One Bristol RI’er suggested renaming it, the Fourth of July Protest, and they could stroll along te parade route bands and all until curfew. 

 

Most people are shocked when they find out how incompetent I am as an electrician.

 

We should always remember that generals and admirals who reach the highest rungs are normally the best politicians among many fine military strategists.

 

This is one of those days when I reevaluate my progress in life. I’m looking at heathy eating and preparing to test the healthiness of some of my staples. What is more nutritious or at least less dangerous – plain potato chips versus ridged potato chips, pretzels, or crunchy versus puffy Cheetos. Just because there is national news it doesn’t mean that the search for better living stops.

 

Did you hear about the two aging formerly hippie women who were walking slowly down the street?  One says, “My joints are stiff.” Her fiend replies, “You’re rolling them too tight.”

 

Did you know that if you could fit the entire world’s population into a village of 100 people you would have 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 Americans (North, South, Central) and 8 Africans? There would be 52 women and 48 men, 30 Caucasians and 70 non-Caucasians, 30/70 too for Christians/non-Christians, 89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals. Sometimes people think they are the only people on Earth.

 

Today I am Thoreau sitting in a treetop looking out and seeing only the green of lush forests and not what decays beneath. Sometimes you have to disinfect your mind so you can see clearer.

 

The Answer:

I know for sure that there will be a lot of disagreements on these answers. After all, Ice Cream is as personal as it gets. Number one is Haagen Dazs followed by Ben & Jerry’s, Blue Bell Creameries, Cold Stone Creamery, Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen, Talenti, Magnum Ice Cream, Breyers and Blue Bunny. Personably, there are plenty of good local brands and homemade stands around here that I enjoy. But I do love those Magnum Bars.

 

I feel like being really, really cheery today. I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit into somebody’s agenda.

 

Vanilla or Chocolate?
