Today's Tids Issue 3,322
Opening Stuff:
The Baltimore situation has been reported to death.
The only observation I make is that there seems to have been created a new environment
of acceptance for unruly protests in America; An apparent organized agreement
on a new Bogeyman called the police, with nary a national figure at the top coming
to the side of the men and women who risk lives daily to protect the streets
from thuggery, murder and theft. It is te quiet Americans who should be taking
to the streets.
RI is on the fast track
towards moving from the recent Medical marijuana approval to general every day get high
approval. Duh! What a surprise. But, all of a sudden some concerned groups are
starting get a piece of the stage, asking questions like “What about Marijuana
Psychosis for 12 to 18 year olds” who get trapped in the peer competition. Much
of the purpose of this movement, other than appeasing so many who like a joint,
is to reduce jaoiltime for users. So, reduce jail time, But don’t put kids in jeopardy.
I don’t read books, because when I write my
great American novel I don’t want to be subject to accusations of plagiarism.
Uh-Oh, Financial gurus are starting to mutter the
words, “Market Correction”. Translated to English, that means, “Death to the individual
investor”.

One of the truisms of Family
Life is
that daughters will always try to keep their dad’s clothes fashionable and up
to date with society. The operative word here is “Try”.
The Voice last night…what did I get from the voice
last night? I tell you, I got a lot of stuff that didn’t thrill me like I’ve
been thrilled before. Personally I liked Hannah Kirby’s act, probably because I
like “We don’t need another hero”…and the dancing singing kids were great. The
rest blended together to me. Now Kimberly sounded pretty perfect, added some
nice drama, but to a song that left me stone faced. India, a powerful singer, didn’t
seem to hit all the notes, and her closing attempts at cleverness were
strained. Joshua is a really good singer in a narrow arena. His melodies are
mind numbing at times as he becomes more like James Taylor with a little more
emotion. Sawyer, also a great singer, is centered in the folk area too and has
trouble breaking away. But, I still always look forward to him and never find
his performances lacking. But still…he is in a bit of a rut. I think Meghan is
very good singer, but Beatles’ music just seems so old anymore. Corey Kent tried
to step it up and for a moment he appeared to have made it just as drifted off.
I have been touting Koryn, and last night shed showed her power again, but I’m
just not sure she is the greatest singer that ever stood before a mike. She is
a popular favorite, though, now. Two more are gong tonight and you have to think
that Hannah or Corey will be one. India may be the other. But, you never know
about Joshua, who maybe wearing tin with the younger set. I would oust Corey who
is inert to me and India who as a person I like a lot..
I’m
probably not going to buy an Audi now. After watching that pretty terrible commercial
about the smug, ”I’m bettered than you” kind of guy driving by through a puddle
splashing muddy water upon admiring kids, it’s just not who I am.
I‘ve reached that stage in
life where
I rate doctors by the quality of the magazines in their office..
A kid broke the Rubic’s Cube
record yesterday
solving it in just 6 seconds. I spend 60 seconds looking at it, dumbfounded,
and then give up. How does he do that?
You have to wonder how many
kids wonder
daily about what Mom did with their baseball cards, or Madam Alexander Dolls.
A new Pew Study shows that
Union Membership continues to fall in the private sector, but not in the Public Sector
where there should be no need for unions at all (Government writes the laws to protect
workers so the Government workers should not need a union to help protect the worker
from the law writer and enforcer.) While Union membership has fallen from highs
of 35% in the Fifties, to about 11% now, the favorability opinion ratings among
Americans have gone up. 45% say Unions have been bad for America, while 43% say
they have been good. But now compared to five years ago, 48% have a favorable
view versus 39%. But, the fact remains that Unions Corporate Executives need
the jobs and income.
Isn’t Justice Ginsberg just
like the perfect stereotypical liberal, “I know what I believe and I’m not interested in the
facts, new or old.”
I don’t think I’m in the market for an Apple watch. Maybe some
tome in the future I’ll decider for it.
