Closing Loopholes:
Thank God for the Republicans who stopped the Federal takeover of elections.
I think one of the best inventions of the last 25 plus years is Bluetooth.
I knew a woman who owed a Taser. She was stunning.
The Question:
Who invented Bluetooth, and what is the origin of its name? Bonus: name five words with two “Y’s:”.

That incredibly annoying and completely unwatchable Joy Bahar told a totally inappropriate and very insensitive joke about the NFL player who just “Came Out”. After a commercial break shee came back to say, “About that inappropriate joke for daytime TV I told, Scratch it. Pretend I never said it.” God, I hate these people.
There are a lot of laws being considered and enacted to mute the spread of no-responsibility of Air BNB short term rentals. As you all know ABnB was invented around the simple premise of, Rent an extra from in your homes and we’ll bring people there to help you make a few extra busks. But it has morphed terribly into buying a vacation house for rental purposes only at a price that inflates all those in the community, and rent it to God knows whom and remain anonymous so nobody can complain when there is a brawl or worse. Yes all those people who used to think they were living peacefully in their quiet neighborhoods are mad as hell and are pushing back.
I could never see myself as an inspector in a mirror factory.
In response to yesterday’s Tidlet about fighting electric car fires, one of our more erudite readers writes, “Save the people. Let the car burn. Prevent Hazardous waste runoff.” Rational logic is simple. We need more of it.
I have an eye doctors appointment this morning and the good thing is you don’t have to do a lot of prep like showering or brushing when seeing regular doc or dentist.

The Answer:
In 1994 the Bluetooth standard was originally conceived by Dr. Jaap Haartsen at Ericsson. It was named for a renowned Viking and king who united Denmark and Norway in the 10th century. Bonus: It seemed daunting at first, but there are actually quite a number of double-Y words considering so many words can end in “Y”. I like Syrupy, Crybaby, Mayfly, Byplay, Yummy, Synonym, Pygmy, Yay, Joyfully, Psychoanalyzed and Enjoyable. Everybody who got this right can dance the Hokypoky.
We got to keep healthy regionalism and individuality at all costs in this country.
