Today's Tids Issue 3,431
Opening Stuff:
I
have to wonder how many people who really need help
stopped whatever they were doing and took notice of the light Francis had spread
across America. How many people caught in the ooze of spreading secularism,
paused to wonder, “Where am I going; I never realized all of this love was out
there; how simple pure love could feel so good.” I wonder how many people will
now pass a church and think, maybe I should step inside for a moment.
My
new favorite coffee is Seattle’s best #5. The real
test: Will it still be my favorite coffee when it’s not on sale.
How
about that Boehner surprise? Personally I think
that the speaker was a good guy who kept things real. Never before, at least in
modern times has the leader in the House had to hold together such a divergent
435 – first battling LalaPelozi, and then after winning, his own people. A
country is stronger when it is together, and I think that John Boehner knew
that.
China
President Xi must have felt like a second class citizen
following the Pope to the White House.
The
Question:
Ok, what are Gwyneth Paltrow’s best movies? Yes,
she did have some.
The

--Euro And Asia Stocks Down; Doesn’t Look Good For
US Opening.

--Rhouani And Putin Will Be Pushing UN To Support
Assad Staying.
--NASA Set To Announce Major Find On Mars.
--“O” And “P” To Have Sit Down At UN.

Presence In Syria.
--Suicide Bomber Kills Dozens In Yemen Mosque.
I
have lived near and worked in the middle of Downtown
Boston, and since those days a while back the beautiful city has grown
magnificently. But most notable to me was the constant flow of heavy traffic.
It appeared that people there continuously drive around misconfigured blocks
looking for parking spaces. And there are no parking places or parking lots you
can afford.
Hillary’s
email gap is much wider than the distance between Rosemary
Wood’s arms. In fact if te gap keeps growing it will certainly overtake
Hillary’s nose.
The
final of CSI was a good one. And it was motre than
just seeing Gill Grissom again --- who by the way was the best of the chiefs.
And noc=ice to see Sarah’s heart pimping again. 15 years and still pushing out
good stories. Not bad.
I
have never experienced a Pope where the reactions from
people went from condemning his Leninist, Marxist tendencies to adoring a beloved
Saint. On one hand, this leader of a Catholic Church -- once besmirched,
defiled and eliminated from open society by the Godless communist doctrine -- seemingly
praises and promotes a one government world and key Marxist doctrines. On the
other hand he is caring; he mesmerizes people of all faiths, lifts them up;
makes all people relevant. Both opinions are pretty accurate, but I’ like to think
that he is doing a pretty good job of bringing people together under loving arms
of God. Reinvigorating not only the Catholic Church, also churches of all
faiths; making significant again church of Sunday morning.
In
a Rasmussen telephone Poll triggered by the comments of
Ben Carson about a Muslim president, 51% of Americans said they would not vote
for a person with Islamic ties.
In
the Gallop Tracking Poll since the last debate, Trump’s
“Favorability Gap” (Difference between favorability and unfavorability voter
percentages) has fallen to a mere 13 points versus 32 points two weeks earlier.
During the same period Carson’s favorability Gap has increased to 63 points.
Carley also grew to a 33 point rating while Jeb stayed the same in the Trump
level at 13. There are many new polls, Fox News and NBC/.WSJ, with all of the showing
strong steady gains by Carson and pretty
good gains by Fiorina, and losses by Trump. It’s like petals falling
from the glowing morning rose as the day wears on.
Last
night Trump was on 60 Mins as one of the tow
feature interviews. The other was Charlie Rose with Putin. I think Putin won. Donald
tried to look more substantive, but it still seemed a little Gee-Whizbang to
me.
I
know many a person who has thoroughly enjoyed touring on
the former Military landing crafts, Duck Boats, which have become familiar as a
unique water and land tourist vehicle in big cities around the country. Boston for
instance has a fleet of about 39, which is constantly on the move, packed with
eager sightseers. Unfortunately with the deadly crash involving one in Seattle,
a lawyer in Philly says that he has been against them for years. He says they
should never be used on city streets and are just relics of a bypassed war
machine. It seems though that he is just paving the way to get a piece of the
action for any law suits that may be filed. I’ve been on them and they seem
safe to me. And, there are no streets narrower than Boston
There’s
a way to get things done, and then there is the opposite,
which is looking like you’re trying to get things done but alienating everybody
who could help you get there.
Most
people who have been associated with the
manufacturing industries always had a pretty good idea that the German
Government and their manufacturers were pretty close, if not in bed together.
But, I never thought it was as bad as the Volkswagen affair.
I
have to say that while I’m always wary about what is
written in the NY Times, I have to say the paper still looks like what
newspapers looked like in the past -- heavy and hardy. But, I still don’t know
how the readers feel fulfilled with a newspaper without comics.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 16 continues…
Jared
started running towards the screams. He was fighting through the pain in his
knees, but worrying more about what he was going to do when he got there. The bozos
were big, and part of their heft was probably a lrge nasty gun under their
clothes.
He Gasped
when he came to a point where he could see the three. Beth was on the ground,
her face bloody. These guys were not tender, loving people. He was thinking, Ok
I can rush in and then we would both probably wind up dead.
The two
were looking down at Beth, saying something. Jared did not hear her replying. he
did hear her muffled sobbing. The pause gave him a chance to see where he was,
what he might find, if anything. Around the next curve in the path was a small
shed. He moved to open a narrow door. He expected it to make a squeaking sound
that would wake the dead. But, it opened smoothly, quietly. Is this part of
Nancy’s planning, he wondered Inside he saw what looked like a survival kit.
What kind of mind did Nancy have?
In the
corner behind the neatly ordered array of tools and clothing were two shot
guns. Nancy didn’t leave herself to having opt rely on luck. Me, I’ll take this
luck, Jared thought. He reached in grabbing the gun, but stopped as he heard some
noise. He stood still and slowly turned his head. Nothing but his nerves. He grabbed
the weapon and moved to the side of the path closest to the threesome.
The
Answer:
How about these for her Top Five: Shallow Hal, Iron
Man series, Country Strong, Shakespeare In Love and Seven. Personally, I liked Sliding
Doors best. Some others were Emma, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Contagion, Two
Lovers, Hard Eight, Possession, Proof and The Royal Tannenbaums.
There’s
nothing like a good wedding to get your heart pumping for
