Color me happy.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,475 

Donuts for Holy Week: 

 

Yesterday I dropped a bag of Cheetos into the washing machine, just in case you are wondering about an orange tinge to my outfit today. 

 

But you’ll never see a politician with a tinge of red from an embarrassment because they have no moral codes. 

 

Talking about the Stock Market waiting for information from the crucial Two-Day Fed meeting is probably becoming boring to you. I know it is becoming tedious for me writing it over and over and over again. So, the market is down again, waiting. What a shell game they all play! 

 

An Italian pastry chef was injured at work this Friday. We Cannoli hope he makes a full recovery. 

 

The Question: 

What are the four days that begin the four seasons called? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Ta Nasdaq Down S&P, Dow Stagnant Waiting for Godot... I mean Powell. 

-- Powell Says Housing Costs are Significant in People's Personal Economy but Not Targets of Fed’s Anti-Inflation Policy.  

--Today is First Day of Spring; Winter Slashing Through Midwest. 

--DOE Expected to announce Softening of Requirements that Would Demand 50% EV cars by 2030.  

--Hng Kong Osses New “Security" Law Which Ov Observers say will Reduce Civil Rights. 

 

A private goes AWOL from the Army to follow his calling as a pastry chef but gets caught and arrested. He was eventually court-martialed and sentenced to five years in prison for being a desserter. 

 

I'll soon be gathering info on The Voice as the “Battles” are beginning. They are the best part to me, often producing some amazing duets.  

 

Some of you would like me to get involved in American Idol again. I’m hearing it is much better now. But I think the Voice judges are more fun.  

 

Jaundice is yellow. Cheetos is orange. 

 

Here's an odd tail of today's societal thinking. A young man 23 in Taiwan lost big in Cryptocurrency. Using a promise of a big insurance payout, he persuades a friend in High School to soak his legs in freezing cold water causing severe frost bite and eventually amputation. The HS kid will then sue for $1.3000.000 and pay te conniver $800K. The amputee only gets $7,200. And then sees something suspicious forces him to return $7200 plus face criminal charges. So, there he is, no money and no legs. Maybe hell try to recoup it all on Go Fund me or something like that. You never know anymore, do you. 

 

Meanwhile we still have primaries going on with Ohio, Kansas, Florida, Illinois and Arizona opening the ballot boxes today. While political analysts will try to squeeze something relevant out of all these results, I am I not really caring about primaries this year. Sad, really sad.  

 

My sister is an expert pastry-maker. She has to be to stay employed, her job has a high turnover rate. 

 

Every time the US WH admin creates tougher regulations pushing for moe EV cars faster it is forcing the USA to rely on China more than ever for Lithium and battery production.  

 

I just read, “In the American League East, Baltimore will be chased by Toronto, New York and Tampa Bay. No mention of my beloved’s, the Boston Red Sox. Is it over, already on the first day of Spring?  

 

I personally feel for those innocent Gaza citizens who have been bombed into famine and destitution. War is a horrible thing. 

 

The Answer: 

We are entering the Vernal Equinox heralding Spring. In the Fall we have the Autumnal Equinox. These are the two days of each year when day and night are equally divided. The other two are the Summer Solstice, when the day is longest and Winter Solstice when the night is longest. There you have it. One of those little mysteries of life solved, like Port versus Starboard. 

 

Time to go out and get a Zeppole.
