Today's Tids Issue 5,319
Accentuate:
The USA honchos can go on TV and tell us that inflation is under control, but yesterday I almost swallowed my fake tooth when I was charged $5.29 for a dozen not so large white eggs. And, believe me, that is just one of many items that brings on gagging.
I like pumping gas in the morning and then running into the convenience store at Cumberland Farms for a surprisingly delicious egg, sausage, cheese on a croissant breakfast sandwich. Then I was thinking that when these stations all change over to charging places, you will mainly pump in the evening and go inside for fine dining. White tablecloths and candles amidst the high-priced Coca Cola display. At least one advanced thinking gas station here is advertising they are hiring excellent chefs. Yikes.
Christmas puns are typically lamer than most of my puns. Too many are elf serving.
In case you missed it, the country Boy Bryce Leatherwood surprised everybody last night by winning the Voice. But if you remember from yesterday when the Tids Entertainment editor wrote, “The Voice ain’t over until the cowboy sings. No matter how hard the producers try to broaden the audience, it is still country all the way. No year has shown that more than this year.

I have to say that the best marketing effort ever could be the promotion of Weathertech products. Who would ever have thought that floor mats would be on the tip of everybody’s tongue. But no thanks here as a Christmas present.
Maybe this signals the beginning of the end of the Ukraine fighting. China just announced they are banning the shipping of Loongson Military Grade Processors to Russia. Big daddy is clamping down... right?
I am a carnivore. No question. I'm all for any group that wants ot keep cattle fluctuations booming, despite the rants of climate herbivores. I'm willing to sacrifice a little climate alteration for beef and lamb and pork and chicken
Ford has done a far better job of promoting their Lincoln as competitive Luxury auto than GM has done with Caddy. Caddy was “It” in America for decades until the accountants and MBA’s took over from the aur to guys and transformed Cadillacs into Chevys. And of course, the imports started looking pretty good on USA roads. But Ford is doing it.
The Answer:
There are quite a few, including countries in Africa. They are Yemen, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Manama, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and a smidge of Pakistan.
BTW, Moderna which made its big splash with a Covid vaccine, has just announced huge a big breakthrough in its melanoma cancer vaccine when added to Merck’s Keytruda. Moderna is a sharp little company with a nice pipeline, now with a load of cash. It was always about more than covid. Now we know. Just in case you are interested.
It’s been a good morning with you all. Gotta go out now and continue the task of spreading Christmas spirit
