Brief Moments in time:


Today's Tids Issue 5,242 

Breathing room: 

 

 

Halleluia, inflation is over. At least that's what the berserk market surge seemed to say. But not so fast, everybody. Inflation slowed and even if it stops rising it will be a long time before income rises enough to match new price level standards. Sellers of anything love to get a higher price acceptance firmly into consumer mindset. 

 

I know how to end a drought. Plan a good outdoor activity.  

 

My mind is a little cloudy this morning because it is seriously focused on the first NE Pats exhibition game tonight. Everything else seems irrelevant.  

 

Especially the Red Sox. How are those statistics working for you now Chiam Bloom?  

 

The Question: 

Serena Williams is only considered #3 greatest women player in the open era. Who do you think are number 1 and 2 according to this survey I found? 

 

The Headlines:  

--Market Open Higher But Drift Later. 

--AG Garland Has Requested Judge To Unseal Warrant Used In FBI Search On Trump M Estate. 

--7 Russia Warplanes At Crimea Base; News Reporting Shortage Of Russian Troops, Soldiers Quitting. 

--Taiwan Rejects China's 'One Country, Two Systems' Plan For The Island. 

 

If you think your housing costs are high, then don’t even think of moving to NYC where the average rent is $5K! 

 

I don’t mean to laugh, but Today is National Presidential Joke Day. Be still my sarcastic heart. 

 

Honest company slogans, Department: 

Hallmark: “When you care enough to give a card mass-produced by 
a corporation.” Ritz crackers: “Tiny, edible plates.” CliffsNotes: “They’re still going to know you didn’t read the book.” Gillette: “We’re just going to keep adding blades.” ChapStick: “You’ll misplace it before the tube’s empty.” Hot Pockets: “Every bite is a different temperature.” 

 

The worst thing for Repub ambitions in the fall will have Trump supporters rioting in protest of the FBI raid on Trumpsville. And Director Webb’s comments that threats against FBI leadership and personnel are dangerous and deplorable are what needs to be said. But, it does seem to me that a high-ranking agency would find a more adult, respectful way to deal with an Ex-President of the United States – whether foe or friend. (Note: Tere appears ot be some new info emerging that says Trump was quietly served a subpoena in the Spring didn’t comply. We’ll check that out).  

 

The inflation numbers slowed, from what I have heard, because of lower gas prices, But the release of a million barrels a day form the Strategic Oil Reserves ends in September. It is expected that at that time world oil prices will begin the flow back up.  

 

The hottest team in Baseball right now was last year’s laughingstock -- the Baltimore Orioles.  

 

People and organizations, and even local government operations, should really do all they can not to accept money or favors form the Government. Once you do, you are at the mercy of some bureaucrat somewhere deep in the bowels of an agency. Unfortunately, this concept for free uncorrupted living is pretty well dead right now.  

 

Conspiracy theory rage erupted on both sides after the FBI raid, So I’m just lying-in wait for the facts to turn up. Things have already changed from morning till now,  

 

“Taiwan rejects China's 'one country, two systems' plan for the island.” Why wouldn’t they. China proposed a similar scheme to Hong Kong and then reneged on it all. 

 

The Answer: 

Well, this list voted on by the public is already bogus in my mind when Martina Navratilova only come up #11. The list has Stefi Graff number one and Chris Evert 2. After Serena there is Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova, Angelique Kerber, Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin, Garbine Muguruza, and #10 Caroline Wozniacki. The great Monica Selas wasn’t even listed. So much for that survey. 

 

When some event suddenly happens, people just have to learn to stake a deep breath before opining.  

 

Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, they won't be able to hear you from that far away. Plus, you'll have their shoes.
