Today's Tids Issue 5,352
Maybe the ostrich gets it.
One of the biggest problems in our current society is that a few incremental anecdotal incidents are projected as the norm. Just listen to the rantors.
Brock Purdy looks a lot like Opie.
It is looking like 2023 Q1 will be good for companies mainly because of layoffs now. Hmmmm.
A perfectionist walked into a bar...apparently, the bar wasn’t set high enough.
There's a lot of little things in life I love. Like walking upon a path carved through high bushes or canopied by leafy trees. Or even slicing through icy white snowbanks. The silence in the air. The feeling of purity of that earth can’t be measured but only felt.
The Question:
This is an easy one today. What American President was afraid of the Military Industrial complex?
The Headlines:
--Markets Higher at Mid-Morning, Drop Towards Noon, Rebound at Mid PM; Pending Home Show First Gin in 7 Months.
--Western States Expected T to be Squabbling for Water as Colorado River Shrinks.

Well, there’s lot on the line this weekend for the TidsPicker’s pride -- 9 and 1 and only two ways to go. The mysteries revolve around the ankle of the great Mahomes and the inexperience of Mr. Irrelevant. I have to say that Hurts looked like a monster against the Giants, but San Fran isn’t NYG. Ok, I just believe, even though I am an enormous Patrick Mahomes supporter, that a high ankle sprain is more than a little injury that can be overcome with adrenaline and desire. Cincy’s D is looking as good as their Mr. Cool QB Joe Burrow. I’m going with Cincy to take KC four straight, which is a huge task. It will be a great game. Philly looked great last week. San Fran had problem or two, albeit against a tougher opponent. I’ll stay with the Iggles. The good news is that the worst the TP’s can be after Sunday is 9-3. But they’ll be better. I feel it.
I'm glad our military industrial complex didn't decide to make our Abrams tanks in China.
Clerks in America, Department:
During a job interview at the 99 Cents store, a teen was asked, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Hiss reply: “At the Dollar Store.” He got the job.
Our Senior senator who has been around for decades (and I still can't figure out why he was elected int the first place) just boldly stepped forward to go to war against Egg farmers. No eggaggeration! The average USA household of 2.6 people has an annual egg expenditure of $176. News reporting makes us all overwrought and it is usually about incremental issues.
Q: What do you get when you combine an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic? A: Someone who lays awake at night wondering the true meaning of Dog.
I wrote a story once about Agnus and Rufus, two chickens who were transferred from tier bucolic country home to the city during the last era of urban chicken raising hysteria. Agnus and Rufus were grumpy, she complaining about the cramped quarters and harsh décor, and the noise. Rufus was complaining about being awake all night from the flashing sign across et street that read KFC.
A wonderful little tune to relax by is “Grace” by Renee Michelle. There is something special about the way Renee interprets beautiful themes.
BTW, food inflation is about at 11.8%, and people are aghast, and definitely cutting back. That's about the same percentage of salary increases just approved for by our governor for his cronies. Where's the national investigation of that?
There’s a new “WhopperMeter” being activated that pits George Santos against Joe Biden. No lie.
The cable repairman was on my street and asked me what time it was. I told him it is between 8 am and 1 pm.
A lot of people are saying that Belichick would have been nothing without Brady. Personally, I think Bardy would have been just ok without Scarnecchia. The great Dante molded O-Lines that gave Brady the time to think. Scar was the man.
I ridicule people who predict new massive cultural trends and defects from small isolated egregious events. But I make some cast in iron pronouncement from just feelings I have in my brain and heart. So, I'm a hypocrite.
The Answer:
The great five-star general, the leader who drove us to success at Normandy and guided us through the delightful 1950’s, Ike who we like, was deathly afraid of the power that the military Industrial complex could co-opt in America. Or maybe it was because they didn’t give him a Vicuna coat.
“I would like vitamins for my son,” a mother said. “Vitamin A, B or C?” the pharmacist asked. “It doesn’t matter,” the mother replied. “He can’t read yet.”
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
