Opening Stuff:
I'll never get tired of singing Roger and Hammerstein's "Oh what a beautiful Morning!". Inspiring simplicity at its' best.
Oh What a Beautiful Morning Candidate, Department:
I'm voting for Barry Hinkley as the new Senator from RI -- Period. He's campaigning on the "We're-runnin'-outta-money-and-you-gotta-learn-to-deal-with-it" platform. He has lots of facts and tons of commons sense. But, you'd better listen to him now before the well known forces in the is state start distorting his message and character with irrelevant side issues. He's a life long New Englander from a family of boat builders, And an 8th generation descendant Col. James Barrett who led the minutemen at North Bridge in Concord and fired some of those first shots "heard round the world" But Hinkley does not dwell on the past; He looks to rebuilding a future that may measure up to the greatness and ideals of America's past.
Separated at Birth Department:
Hunter Mahan and Aaron Baddeley.
The Question:

Calling for Apps Department:
I'll be hunting for them for you, but what better source for ideas and commentary than all of you who are able to decipher the Tids each day. So, here's the deal. I'm going to enable The Tids as an Apps sharing transfer station. Send me your App experiences. Then you'll be getting ideas and warnings from people just like your self -- smart and wary. So send in your App suggestions and app Stories.
The headline shouted, "Putin agrees to run for Presidency." How magnanimous of him! What a scam. But, he is a powerful force and doesn't appear to be a friend of our country. And certainly doesn't buy into kumbaya diplomacy.
You may have been reading a lot lately about the mass migration of football schools from the Big East to the ACC. Why I say? In the history of NCAA Bowl games for all conferences The Big East has the winning-est percentage of .568. Next at .560 is the SEC. They are followed by Pac-10, Big 8, ACC (.489), Big 12, Big 10, WAC and Southwest. But, here's the odd part. A big percentage of ACC's .489 win total were from Miami and VaTech while they were in the Big East. So, I gotta think that all of these schools are really moving to get the halo effect of the ACC basketball teams because except for Fla. State and occasionally Clemson, the ACC has been rather enemic. Almost as weird as why Obama got elected!
A Hinkley-Whitehouse campaign would be a great one. They agree on barely nothing.
Isn't amazing how many Americans sitting in the comfort of their quiet living rooms, love associating themselves with the perceived romance and idealism of the so-called "Arab Spring"; while the wives and children of those Middle East fighters sit in dark, torn homes in fear, or in mourning, wondering if it is worth all of the blood.
Once the song "There's A Place For Us" gets into my mind, I'm humming it all day long.
People are loving the movie Money Ball.
I think I have found a flaw in my "Vigorous Localism" theory of Government. It's Called the "Gordon effect". One of the perceived advantages of a bottom up government is knowing your candidates and elected officials, hopefully almost personally. However, there's a Republican, yes a republican in RI, named Gordon who was elected to the General Assembly. But the voters never knew he had been in jail in MA for attempted murder and has a rap sheet continuing many other misdemeanors. When he held a press conference to restore his image, he out and out lied about receiving a Purple Heart and fighting in Iraq. He was never near Iraq, in fact spent all of time as a mechanic in an area thousands of miles from bullet one. But maybe, if the the spotlight was turned locally upon the most important players in the Governmental chain, the no-names wouldn't slip though as they do now. the no-names would slip through into Washington. But, there wouldn't be any money there to waste.
Almost Near: Chapter 41 continues. --Samantha shook her head. "I've got to do something about this." She was talking to herself, but this time it made sense. "Who can I trust. And, why do I feel a sense of trust with some and not others." She rose and peeped quickly over the breakwater. Nobody was there.
She ran to the closest dock. She knew this area. But she should if what everybody has been saying was right. This was her home. If this is my home, what is Lobster Cove? A dream. But, Tucker isn't a dream. He's real. Isn't he.
She almost tripped as she sprang up to the docks cathing her toe on the hard weathered wood. Her eyes shut as she felt that pain. Put she kept running, through "Boat Owners Only" gate and down the floating piers.
As she found the Grady White she had seen form the breakwater, she turned and jumped in. Crouching immediately. She thought she heard her name being called.
Quiz Answer:
Surprise! Perrenial patsies Buffalo and Detroit join last year's champ Green Bay as the only two 3-0 teams. And.. another long time loser, The Skins, could make it four tonight.Another of my all time favorite songs is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Maybe out there where bluebirds fly, there lies a government that works. And, maybe some of our new style candidate will find it.
Too many people disregard other people because they aren't exactly like them.
Yesterday was an incredibly tough one. I had to watch the Red Sox, Pats and PGA all at once. First the Sox lost, then the Pats. And then none of my golf favorites made a charge. Rats.
