Today's Tids Issue 3,388
Opening Stuff:
I
was standing at waters edge this morning with nothing
but pure beauty spread out before me. Maine is loaded with coves large and small.
I knew immediately by the quality of the driftwood piled at the high tide line
that there was something special here as I hopped the rocks on the boulder
covered beach. The air was humidity free, the sun ws creating diamond necklaces
across the expansive waters. I sat upon a large piece of perfectly weathered
wood from who knows where and gazed at waters edge. What had been left here, brought across the
seas from afar. What had these waters touched. Omaha beach? Columbus wading ashore
to a tropic isle? An apostle walking barefoot along a middle east beach bringing
the words of his lord to those who had never heard? The sea is my encyclopedia,
bible, history book, diary of memories past.
My
grandson and I agreed that Utz Cheese Balls are far better
than Sushi.
With
all of the glitz added to Supermarkets in the last ten or
so years, you wonder when shoppers find time to seek products in the
traditional aisles. How do you drag yourself away from the growing menus of
prepared food and accompaniments to shop for ingredients to make your own food?
Obviously more people aren’t cooking at home and that is why the prepared sections
are taking over stores. I wonder though, about how the stores make money
managing all of the fragile prepared items.
The
Question:
Scientists have discovered a danger to health
called Fourth hand Smoke. What is it? Bonus: In what show did Linfda Carter get
her start?
The Headlines:
--3 Dead, 9 Injured in Louisiana Theater Shooting.
--Jobless Claims Plunge To 1973 Levels.
--Deserter Bergdahl Captured In California Drug
Bust.
--Greek Lawmakers Clear Way for new reforms.

As Forces Rush Down.
--New Polls Show Repubs Beating Hillary In All
Swing States.
--FBI Warns That ISIS Is Bigger Threat than
al-Qaida.
--President Returns To Land Of Heritage.
There
evidence showing that the $15/hr wages in Washington State
is not the worker panacea as envisioned by bureaucrats with charts and
activists with bleeding hearts. It seems, according to early returns, that
workers with new raises are asking for shorter hours so they won’t jump into
economic categories that would eliminate freebies from the government. So basically
The Gov in that pretty state has created money losing companies while managing
not to interrupt the flow of outrageous money to dedicated professional losers.
I
find it impossible to believe that an honest government
would refuse to acknowledge the abuses of the system by unlawful immigrants.
I
see where Jon Stewart told the President that he has little
time left to take away America’s guns and impose martial law. A lot of people
would not see the humor in soothing like that which is so close to home.
Speaking
of smothering the constitution, Judicial Watch has
issued a report saying that the IRS “targeting” of Repubs went well beyond just
Tea Party organizations; that I aimed at to all donors, conservative and not so
conservative. Is there anything more threatening to a free society than
government watchdogs with intimidating and life crushing powers? And they are
trying to tell me that Obama is Mr. Nice guy!
I
love walking and inhaling past a person smoking on the
street. I find the aromas delightful.
I
was intrigued reading a post Apple earnings
report that said, “Apple ‘fans’ did not respond to the watch has had been
expected.” Apparently the company has based growth on the unquestioning rabid
loyalty of mind numbed Mac Maniacs. The company hadn’t expected their
constituency to actually stop and consider the necessity for a watch. There was
no mother in this invention, and the Apple kids knew it.
Rewriting
History, Department:
Uh-oh, here we go again – Connecticut Democrats
have stripped the names of Presidents Jefferson and Jackson form their annual
dinners because of ties to slavery. This is just another chapter in the new
history books which will alter the past to meet the aims of new ideologies.
Remember
the Alamo! Oops, that could go to.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 6.
Benjamin
and Ephraim Hicks grew into fine young men after they got out from under the
cloud that often followed the now departed
rambunctious sibling, John. Rumors were that John was still stirring up
trouble and keeping the elders on edge in his new community of Weymouth, and
that his wife joined with him in rebelling against the rigid town laws. Traders
had told the family tht=at John may be looking at the lands on Aquidneck
Island.
The equally rigid people in the Plymouth he
left, were now more relaxed towards the Family, seeing the Hicks a little
differently, slightly more favorably, but still wary of a group that produced
and raised John.
Ben and
Eph, and their younger brother Richard felt this unstated mistrust, and were
eager to hear of tales of places beyond this cloistered community from traders,
travelers and especially the Pequats. Through the years they became constant
companions to Squanto during his many diplomatic missions to the colony.
The meager
land of Robert restricted the ability of the men to produce enough for them
selves, and as the girls had married into good families in the village. required
substance to the new families. There was a lot of pressure to expand their
holdings, and after hearing the stories of plentiful lands and waters in the
western part of the colony which would be come Warren and Tiverton RI, they
were eager to follow the explorers, but especially the smart, English speaking
Indian.
The
Answer:
4th Hand Smoke is a phenomena that has
a profound effect on internal organs and the health of people from thinking
about other people smoking. You’ve seen
em’. You know who the are. Bonus: Linda Carter of course was Wonder Woman.
When
you’re in an environment of perfect peace, with no wifi or
TV to interrupt, threre appears to be no news at allexept what you see in daily
life. No politicians lies or exaggerations or cover ups. No declining stock markets
or beheading on a foreign soil. Just people discovering worlds they have never
seen amd finding good in people they never knew existed. This all makes ofr a
very dull Tids.
I
case you didn’t notice, this is an amalgamation of Thursday
and Friday. Without Wifi, I was thinking of putting it in hundreds of bottles
and tossing them on to the cool ocean to carry it to your home. But, I figured
the environmental police would turn me over to the IRS, who would then fine me
for using artificial sugar soft drinks. Bummer.
Have
a great weekend E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y the
