Today's Tids Issue 2,905
Opening Stuff:
Sometimes you have these memories in your mind that are so beautiful, you wonder after a long period of time whether or not they could be that good or that you have just been burnishing them into brilliance over the years. Then one day you find that the memory is indeed true, and it feels even better.
I knew it!! A new study says that Neanderthals were actually much more advanced than originally thought. So in light of this it's conceivable and actually quite believable that our society is actually going backwards. That for some we see, the former slur, "He's a neanderthal, may be a compliment."

I hate to be an alarmist, but every day in one or more of the financial news services I see an article suggesting a 1987 style market crash. Or an 2007 crash. Or, any crash that suits the theory of the analyst and stock hawker. The Bad news Bears need some event, or at least the threat of an event, to create cash opportunities.
Larry Ellison says that without his friend Steven Jobs, Apple is doomed. Isn't it a amzing that a muti billion dollar company can be that fragile, where one person's absence can cause it to crumble. Maybe it's just Ellison setting himself up for longevity at Oracle.
I don't complain about Presidents taking vacations. I've said this on the past. But the inconvenience to residents due to the closing of a main road on MV for the sake of the vacating President reminds me of a tale I once heard about Bush the Elder. Right after Bush was elected, an old friend of mine who lived in Kennebunk went to the town hall for a meeting of the Towns folk and the New Prez. He said Bush came in quietly, in that favorite blue windbreaker we often saw him one. He nodded to people shook a few hands, and when to the head of the hall where leaned comfortably against the polished maple railing with white painted, carved balusters. He said, "You know my family has been coming up to Walker Point in Kennebunkport down the road a bit for quite a while. But, I'll tell you, if my becoming President makes life too complicated for anybody around here. I'll just vacation somewhere else." GHWB knew that being President of the USA was a privilege confirmed upon a man or woman by the people. If the people aren't happy than it's probably not a good idea.
Now that transgenders in California can pick whichever bathroom they want, expect a lot of young teen boys to declare themselves TG. It's like in the old days sending away for Superman XRay goggles!
Any major problems remaining about race would probably clear up smoothly if people didn't bring it up all of the time.
While on the surface Holder's idea about easing sentencing guidelines seems to make sense, it is in fact one more attempt by this Admin to take away something from the states.
By the way, I consider drug dealers a significant threat to society at large. There is nothing socially redeeming about drug dealers, even when played in the movies by Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt or Sean Penn. Why does Hollywood glamorize innate badness, anyhow. Is it because money from innately inhuman businesses are underwriting the films?
The blockbusters are getting killed this summer. All the bigs that cost a hundred mil and up are not drawing the mindless audiences they once did. Or any audience for that matter. It seems the kids today have more to do than sit in a theater and spend $20-$30 for Tix, candy and super-sized soda. I guess they figure if I'm to to pay for a movie and then sit there and text, Tweet and Instagram friends. I may as well save the money and do it form a park bench. The sadder part of this tale may be that fewer kids are working summer jobs, so there just isn't enough dough to blow on the show.
The Answer:
Well, hands down it is the Potato Bug that is scary ugly. Kids have been known to have nightmares after seeing the creature in the garden. Of course a slimy worm on an ear of corn has never been a welcome sight, nor that proverbial half a worm" in a n Apple. Yikes. I think slugs in veggie gardens are not my favorite nor are any other of those worms chewing on leaves. Bonus: Adma Scott was very apparent on the Tube at the majors, winning the Masters and doing well in the others. The second player who almost matched him step for step was none other than Jason Day
Neanderthals have progressed from musty caves to glistening mansions, but how much has humankind really changed?
Did I just say "Humankind"? Shoot me!
This weekend's golf tournament looks quite ordinatry when compared with The PGA just finished and the fed Ex Playoffs to come. But,this Wyndham tournament may be one of the most exciting of the year, as it is the last chance for many to get into the FedEx. Or stay inside the cut line. Or for players at the top to improve their rankings in the standings. The "Bubble" Players (120-130) are George McNeil, Scott Langley, Greg Chalmers, Stuart Appleby, Ben Crane, Stephen Bowditch, Peter Brad Fritsch, Padraig Harrington and Bud Cauly. Is you like stats, there is some good reading in analyzing the FedEx standings.
What's with all of the countries announcing, new mammoth air craft carriers? Is WWIII on the horizon, or do the just need more beds for growing populations?
