Getting Lost:
Pavlov's dogs have started a charity for holiday giving. It's called "The Salivation Army"
Wall Street should take today off and let the stock markets breathe quietly on their own for three days. Turmoil more than likely begets turmoil that often becomes more exasperated when humans get into the act. So, a little rest is often the best solution.
Up here in RI, it is a three-day Weekend as the State still tries to celebrate VJ day though minimizing it to a generic “Victory Day”. It's a huge day in US history, world History and it is actually officially on August 15. The Tids opinionators will be there next Thursday,
i was in Jerusalem for a holiday. Needing my cuppa of java i wandered into a cafe and was served by a male barista. I found it odd that there were no female Baristas so i made it a point to keep a lookout for them across the holy land. From Starbucks to coffee club, from hipster cafes to neighborhood coffeehouses, not a female barista could be found. Perplexed by this, i finally asked the Jewish barista at the starbucks at the airport when i was about to leave. He thought about it for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said simply: Hebrews.
When you get older there is nothing to take time off from. For me staying away from holiday traffic is the treat.

Swifties are crying in the streets of Europe over the cancellations of the terror threatened Concert series. But they are not crying as much as those in the boardrooms of Insuranc companies who have to pay off on the cancellations.
Isn’t it interesting how the media gets bored with little things... like the Ukraine war,
My wife went on holiday to a tropical island with her friends. My friend asked, “Jamaica?" "No, she went of her own accord."
Tasty Tid Bits, Department:
Of it is French and it has onions it must be,,, or is it? Our roving taste testing reporters writes, “For the last few months, I have experienced a specific craving for French onion soup. My sister reminded me how odd this craving was because I had never actually tasted French onion soup before, but in my head, I knew it was good. Fast forward, she cooked it for dinner one night, and I was correct: French onion soup is good. Satisfied but still yearning, I went searching for a restaurant version. Version is the right word. I found a distant cousin, or brother-in-law, perhaps, with the same satisfaction quotient. -- The French Dip Sandwich; eating soup with oyur hands. Its a sandwich with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, crunchy bread, and a soup-like broth for dipping: Au Jus. Yes, almost identical to French onion soup, and it was calling my name.
Considering the fingernails on a blackboard tone of voice of the two major presidential candidates, speeches are going to feel cringe worthy at times.
We decided to install our carpet ourselves, so it was comforting and confidence-building when the carpet company owner reminded us of key element of carpet installation: “Fuzzy side up”. It worked.
I find myself regularly repeating to myself these days, “Kamala is the best America can do for the first woman president in the History of a great nation? Yes, folks, we are in decline. That entire thought just flabbergasts me.
It was fun last night watching the NFL again. Now Patriot fans are going overboard after an exciting display of football from the Pats fourth QB Joe Milton. And I have to say he was exciting and amazing at times. But he was playing against the Panthers players most likely to be cut. Sorry for being so parochial, folks.
A photon went on holiday. When checking in at the airport... The
Check In agent asked. "Do you have any luggage sir?" "No," answered the Photon, “I'm travelling light"
I know I have probably said this before, but I can’t think of exposing my life to strangers on the internet.
The next presidential candidate who interrupts my life with a text cleverly disguised as a friendly note to lower my defenses will lose my vote. Hey, they both are doing it. Maybe this is the year I won't vote – after 15 presidential elections, holding nose or not. Now, that is sad. But maybe that is the new America. The people certainly didn't vote in Kamala.
