Finding Respect:
There was a happy medium before Technology. I know, blasphemy. I was thinking of this as I read thatGDM was leaving the NYSE for Nasdaq. They say they are not a car company anymore. They want to be an AI company, yeah like every other company with a computer and a connection to a cloud. Is over digitizing an automobile better for consumers? I haven't found that, but then I'm a cantankerous dinosaur. I think their financial department saw Tesla's stock prices zooming irrationally and thought we can do this too. Like in the 80's when that same company let accountants build and design cars (That's a mild exaggeration, but descriptive). A lot of people like the cars they like because it they fit their personality because it drives the way the like them to drive. But I get it. Don't get lost i the pastBe prepared to become part of what is o the horizon. . Butk another AI comapy. Just more creative free will agents to eat other creative free will agents. And no cars in which to take a nice Sunday drive,

A good reader responded to comments I made about the WNBA finals being buried ay a several bigger sports events. He said they should be considering that the teams go to the lockerroom when the USA National Anthem begins playing. It's not the example you want to send to aspiring younger genrations. I checked it out and some said it was part of their pregame routine. I say, get a better pregame routie. Standing for the anthem is a part of being an American and not standing tells the world something else.
Why did the chicken go to the séance? To get to the other side.
Airlines are now determining they prefer higher prices at the expense of lower capacity trips. Does that translate to less fuel to get lighter planes off the ground.
Speaking of planes and ground, a lot of small private planes seem to have a problem staying aloft. Or at least the news media is featuring clips of small planes falling out of the sky onto roads or in back yards. With media's drive to viral visual it's hard to determine what actually represents statistical evidence.

I went into a store to buy cammo pants but I couldn't find any.
Did you ever go into a class room and learn that you were about to have an exam of which you had entirely forgotten about. That's the way thr Tids feels today.
Last year or so Hasbro the big toy maker decided to move from Pawtucket RI to Boston after being contributing part of RI for over 100 years/ That hurt. But yesterday some classic corporate jerk who says he is the CEO hurt worse when he decided to insult the community on the way out. Is crassness and lack of civility the New America? Kick em when they are down. I wonder where that attitude emanates from. Btw it is ok to end sentences with prepositions. John Dryden got caught up making it lillegas he tried to follow Latin standarads. But English scholars said English has German roots. But Tids has no standards. And feels like a root canal
