Today's Tids Issue 3,452
Opening Stuff:
One
reason I love this fall
With crisp, enlivening air,
Icy skies; sun’s bright glare
Tis I see so clear, after all.
Colors bright upon leafy trees,
Ocean glistening ere the freeze.
Meandering paths of deer tracks.
I see all with such new clarity.
Which for me is quite the rarety…
Precluding the knife for cataracts.
My
senses are too often assaulted by childlike political
barbs, and I’m tired of it.
The
good news is that the new flu vaccine is actually good for
combating the current most prevalent strains of the flu. How refreshing. How
ingenious, a flu vaccine that works.
The
next major world refugee crisis will be Americans leaving
for a better place after Hillary is elected. I just bought a large
inflatable.
The
Question:
1.
Why are deer called “Bucks”? Bonus: Who
are considered the top Ten All Time Authors?
The
Headlines:
--Boehner And GOP Leaders Reach Budget And Debt Deal
With Obama; Repub Moderates Applaud; Questions With Stubborn Right; Ryan
Reserving Judgment On Deal Because “I Haven’t seen It” -- “Process Stinks,” He
Adds.
--US Navy Enters China Sea; China Warns USA To Get
Out.
--New CBS/NYTimes Poll Has Ben Carson Leading GOP
Nationally; Carson – 26, Trump – 22, Rubio – 8.
--Alibaba Shares Going Crazy After Earning Smash Through
High Estimates; Street Awaits Apple Report After Closing.
--Afghan, Pakistan Earthquake Up To 300 And
Probably Climbing.
Lately,
every time Trump opens his mouth, Ben Carson looks more Presidential.
These
are the days that when there is a positive rally
in stocks, the Bears release a flurry of negative releases. Apparently the
bears and short sellers didn’t see this rebound coming and now they are
panicked. Panic is an evil word on Wall Street. There is no truth to the rumor
that the bears have hired Quentin Tarantino as thier spokesman.
The
Voice last night was entertaining. My favorite performance
of the night was by Madi Davis who squeezed so much beautiful emotion out of “A
case of You”. She defeated Amy Vachal who the judges loved, but I thought was
just Ok. The duo between Viktor Kiraly and Jordan Smith was outstanding and I thought
it was a tie, But that Jordan kid is consistently excellent and will be there
in the end I believe. Viktor was stolen by Gwen prompting Vik’s Dad to utter
the best line of the night (In Russian), “Your new coach is much better looking.”
Dad was drooling. I would have enjoyed seeing Andi & Alex singing again, but
Blaine Mitchell overwhelmed them with his great voice (Note The Tids predicted
the growth of BM after he was panned by critics in the Blind). Personally, I
liked Blind Joe who is gone, and Ivonne Acero who stayed. Braiden Sunshine
surprised everybody including me with a mature performance. I don’t believe
Barrett Baber is getting better. Nerves got to Ellie Lawrence and Chance Pefia
big time. Chance with more training could become a winner, if he was not out on
the streets.
Clearly
now in the lead for the Annual “Brain dead Celebrity
of the Year” is Quentin Tarantino. It’s too bad celebrities are allowed to speak
in public without scripts, because mindless people follow them. BTW, while we’re
in Hollywood have you noticed how many new TV shows and Movies feature strong
intelligent woman. It’s all about Clinton’s pals paving the way for you know who
as the leader of the Western world. That’s what good P/R does best, creates positive
environments in which their clients can appear to swim effortlessly.
Speaking
of world domination by a few and creating environments
for bad messages, how about that World health Organization edict coming down on
red meat. You just know there is some UN style agenda occurring there. As several
reasonable doctors have already said, it is over the top hysteria and they
should be gagged -- Red Meat = Smoking = Asbestos. Are they nuts? Beware of
vegetarians for they are trying to inherit the earth.
Oh
yeah, the reason I have not and don’t intend to run a
marathon is because the feed you bananas.
I’m
rooting for Kansas City tonight and not just because
they have great stock yards. I like their hustle and their fans.
If
black lives matter, how come black political leaders aren’t
marching in the streets of urban communities routing out gangs. Oh, wait a
minute, that’s the policeman’s job!
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 24.
Beth was
back behind the counter making some fancy coffees for bunch of young people sitting
at the water view table when Fred walked in. They nodded, but neither of the
two seemed as enthusiastic about being there as they have over the years. Red mouthed
to her “Black and a donut”, then he turned to take a table away from the crowd
in a corner. He took out a manila folder and started scanning the papers
inside.
“Where’s
you big smile, Fred?” Beth put the coffee and donut on the table along with utensils
and anapkin.
Fred
looked up slowly feeling a little better after Beth’s greeting, “Geez, what
happened to you?” Beth’s hand went to her face. Fred remembered the last time
he saw her with Jasper and Sam, and after last night he knew what probably happened.
He also knew that Beth was the best friend of Nancy, and being nice to Beth was
his new job. But now he felt a little queasy looking at the bruise on her jaw,
and the way she leaned against the table. “You alright?” he continued.
“Oh yeah,
I’m fine. You remember those two lugs you saw me with as you were leaving a couple of days ago? Well, they scared the
bejesus outta me and watching them leave I walked backwards and stumbled over one
of those concrete parking lot stops.” She took a deep breath, “It’s my ribs
that are killing me.” Fred cringed at the word killing. They got to her, he
knew, but tey obviously didn’t learn much or else why world Jerry had
introduced me to his friends.
“Why don’t
you go sit down. You shouldn’t be working with that kind of pain”. Fred thought,
“I should be on a boat going down the Sakonnet and look for safe harbor somewhere
over in Montauk. Her pain is killing me he thought.
“Why,
Fred thanks for the thought. I’m glad we’re good old friends.” Fred felt his
stomach roll.

A
good blog writer never sends a reader off to read a list.
But, who ever said this was a good blog. But, if you have Come back from
chcking out authors to the Tids, here’s a nice song with feeling I like.
Actually I believe I have played before, but, cool air and beautiful icy
scenery is making repeat myself. Sorry. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-006&ei=utf-8&fr=ytff1-yff16&p=you%20tube%20say%20someting&type=
