Ambrosia:
There's news everywhere
Often too much to bear.
Which leads to apathy;
A nation of, I Don't Care.
But then... there is always something to lift us out of lethargic indifference. Yes, Tidsters, it is National Junk Food Day! How great is that -- Cheetos without guilt. CWG for short, it is your safety net for luxurious over snacking, a Conscience free indulgence twenty-four hours to eat everything salty and sweet. Has there ever been a better gift to disconsolate humanity? Yes, there is a way to put life back into daily living. Crunch!
What percentage of people who flocked to the theaters to watch The Odyssey do you think ever read the book? And said, I've been waiting for this movie for decades.
The first time I got a universal remote control I thought to myself, “This changes everything”.
The Question:
What are America's Ten Top junk food goodies. We're talking here about the prefect combos of salt, sugar and fat.
The Headlines:
--Following Rally in Asia, Chip Stocks Reviving; Markets Take Off; Big Tech Earnings on Tap; Concerne Over ME War and Now Canada Tarriff remain.
--Trump Hikes Canada Tariffs to 50%.
--Ukraine Having Trouble Recruiting New Soldiers.
--ESPN Back in Layoff Mode.

Speaking of the Odyssey, you have to worry about the depth of the plot when you are advised that there are only 25 theaters America prepared to offer the full impact of the film... and that it is the only way to watch it. There are actually 360 to 400 Imax theaters, but only 25 are equipped with the massive 70mm film projectors needed to display films in the uncropped1.43:1 aspect ratio. So, streaming it on your phone isn't going to work?
There's a phenomenon in Newport RI, and it has nothing to do with its proximity to the ocean. It is all about a sourdough cinnamon bun that has lines wrapped around the block waiting to buy one, which BTW costs a hefty $9. It's nice when an entrepreneur finds he is a part of the USA herd mentality. By the way, my Doctor loves them. My kind of doctor.
Retirement looms as a struggle for many in the future. Right now retirement savings are far below required objectives for most near retirees, and this little new statistic shows that 1/3 of retirement investors have more credit card debt than savings. And then there is the big one emerging in a short five years or so – the failure of the Social Security System where we might see large cuts in monthly checks. But then, AI will figure our way out of it. Right?
Iran is going to need more money someday. If we can cut off that supply, that will be the time when they come to the table and get serious.
In an effort to make more US kids available to get into soccer to help out Fifa Pal, Gianni Infantino, Trump has raised tariff's on Hockey Sticks to 50%. Canada makes most of the Hockey Sticks, and Skates too.
I thought it was a joke when Trump said a few days ago he was raising tariffs on Canada because of the smoke it was sending to our cities.
I’m at the age where I can’t take anything with a grain of salt.
I prefer reading a book and letting my mind create the scenes instead of leeving it up to a movie director.
The Dems must be really bad. The admin's favorability ratings are falling, and the Dems still only have a razor thin margin for the November elections. They are spending a lot of time saying we are not Democratic Socialists, But the DS crowd is picking up voters. There will be plenty to watch this fall
Watching the tube It's easy to believe that we appear less civilzed now. But maybe it is only because there are more videos of people doing uncivilized things.
I much prefer to think of Canada as a friendly neighbor.
ESPN was quite the phenomena when it first captivated sports nuts like me. But I barely watch it at all now. It seems more about sportscasters venoming celebrities.
I think solar panel farms is a terribly inefficient use of land.
The Answer:
Number one now is Doritos Nacho Cheese. Next is Oreos followed by Crunchy and puffy Cheetos, Reuses Peanut butter Cups, Pringles, M&M's, Pop Tarts, Ritz Bitz and Crackers, Lays Potato Chips and Takis Fuego. Some others are Fritos, Tostados Cheese, Flamin Hot Cheetos and Funyums. Kit Kat is up there and don't forget Twinkies, And one of my favorites Planters Cheese Balls, which I hear are coming back, What about Hydrox?
Did you know that Hydrox versus Oreo is one of the great all out wars in world history
If I can manage to wake up after my all night binging, I ll see you tomorrow with orange fingers.
