Dusting off Bunting.

 

 

Today's Tids Issue 6,071 

Just too much talk: 

 

Is there a great leader for America on the Horizon? I haven't seen one yet.  

 

But things can change. Last night the Atlanta Braves currently acclaimed as the best team in baseball gave up 14 hits to the Boston Red Sox generally known as the weakest hitting team in baseball. 

 

“If dogs could talk, it would take a lot of fun out of owning one.” —Andrew A. Rooney 

 

Cleveland Indians, oops “Guardians” fans could be in for a surprise at the Jake. Yes, Taylor Swift could be the new cheerleader in the owner;’s box as Travis Kelsey just bought a peace of his hometown team. She did a good job for the “Chiefs so maybe this former old tribe can enjoy the same. How come KC is still the Chiefs and not the “Stockyards” or something inane like that. 

 

The Question: 

What are the Ten Worst Places to retire in the USA? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets Rattled by US Strikes in Iran. 

--Core PCE Inflation Number Comes in Less than Projected But Annualized at Highest Point in Year; US Wages Fail to Rise; New Jobless Claims Rise to 215,000. 

--Trump’s AG has DoJ Charging Trump’s Sex Accuser E. Jean Caroll with Perjury.  

--Pam Bondi, 60, Announces She has Thyroid Cancer.  

--Jill Biden Reverses Post Debate Debacle Opinions in TV outing Pushing Memoir. 

--Trump Pushing for $250 Banknote with his picture on It. 

--35 Ex-Judges form Coalition to request Investigation of Trumps IRS Deal.

It looks like performance enhancing drug makers are putting on a big campaign to allow managed PED competitions. Personally I'd rather watch real people than chemically altered people.  

 

I'm quite a patriotic person. Almost every day I wear a hat with the Bunker Hill flag on it. I read history and am in awe of our heroes of the Revolutionary War. But I'm wondering if we ill overdo this s celebration of 250 years so that the meaning gets lost in the glitz  

 

There's got to be a better way to rejuvenate Cuba than it being attacked by the US.  

 

Politics today is like a hot summer day. It makes me feel sluggish, mind numb. 

 

Gen Z’ers and Young Millennials are making Obsession one of the surprise hits of the year. I like one-word titles like Obsession. It would draw me in. But it is kind of a creepy plot to say the least. Its about a shy socially inept guy, a girl he likes and a magic wish that turns the  girl into his nightmare. I think you have to suspend a lot of reality 

 

Did you know that the actor who has been in the most $100 Million dollar box office movies is Samuel L. Jackson. He is followed by Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. 

 

BTW, that PCE Favored inflation number of the FED excludes Food and Energy. They have some well seated analytical reason for the exclusions, but the consumers are paying attention to the statistical behavior.  

 

After reading about Matthew Perrry’s addiction you have to wonder how he got though all those shows without the help of Frends. I personally felt he was the most likeable person on that show.  

 

The Answer: 

Number 11 Worst is Oregon. Next going down to worst is New Mexico, followed by Rhode Island, Washington, Arkansas, New York, Hawaii, West Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and worst, Kentucky, blue grass and all. The qualifying factors are taxes, cost of living, medical access and fun things to do. I guess ne horse race a year doesn’t elevate Kentucky. 

 

No songs to end it today, but I’m humming as I close.
