Today's Tids Issue 3,438
Opening Stuff:
This
is the time the blossoms come, but not for our
dear lazy mum. It strains and grunts, and pushes hard, But nothing pops to
brighten the yard. Alas we have but lumps of green. No red and yellows to grace
our scene. It seems that nothing this Fall will get finah. I fear our plants
were made in China.
Remember
in the old days when we the USA said we were not
guilty of any wrong doing, and everybody in the world believed us. I think we
have lost our advantage, or else old time PR people were better.
Seriously,
the Kardashians are providing a great service to the USA. They remind us of
what’s wrong with American and about how fast it can decay into mediocrity and
irrelevancy.
The
biggest single racket in America is class action lawsuits.
Period.

Doncha
just love a good War, Department:
Google brought Apple back to earth and it looks
like we live in a GoogApp world. But mighty Microsoft, the long term (In
digital years) traditional consumer computing giant that has suffered most in
the battle of the youngsters, is not going to go away easy. It is announcing
it’s first homemade laptop, Surface Book, as a competitor to, and which is 50%
faster than Apple’s Mac Book Pro. It is beefing up some of it’s phone options
with newly energized Lumia Smartphones. It has awakened to the mobile computing
world and it is reacting. The new Windows 10 has signed on 110 Million users
since July. You gotta figure there are still a few smart people up their in the
Seattle area.
Patrick
Kennedy seems to be trying to turn his drinking dad into
some kind of victim. But my guess is that Chappaquiddick weighed heavily upon
him.
There
is nothing more beautiful to see than a US Navy ship cruising
through the local waters. It just seems to meld with the sea like few other vessels.
Every
once in a while I just have find and play an old
Vangelis recording.
Maybe,
just maybe, the dinosaurs were eradicated during
the last ice age. So says this sage who is unpacking his fleece a little
earlier this year.
Obama
is about to release 6,000 or so “harmless” convicted
felons. In essence what he is doing by aborting the punishment for illegal drug
use is making drug use legal. So, these are guys and gals who like to get high.
What harm can they do? Well, there is a huge problem around these united states
and that is called the drug industry, where people are routinely killed and others
die from usage. But the fact remains, the drug industry doesn’t exist if users
don’t use. The USA tells Mexico to get their murdering drug cartels under
control Mexico tells the USA to tell their people to stop buying drugs. The Mexican
cartels may have a newly expanded market of about 5,900.
Last
night Neil Cavuto called for the jailing of misbehaving
financial execs. He must be reading the Tids.
Not
high on my list of things to do is walking on glass
bridges over deep canyons.
Street
Smarts vs. Book Smarts, Department:
In cased you missed it, up in Napanoch NY at the
Eastern New York Correctional Facility, a debating team of inmates took down
the national championship Harvard team. Yes the Crimson from Cambridge couldn’t
out argue the inmate’s defense of a public school’s right to turn away students
of parents who came to the USA illegally. This is a nice story at several
levels. There’s no truth to the rumor that the judge’s families were being held
hostage.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 20.
Twenty
Five minutes after Jared had called her, Nancy was seen paddling hard towards
the small handing area at the rear of her compound. Jared had washed Beth’s
face and given her some Tylenol. She was under five blankets and finally had
stopped shivering. He tried to cheer her up, but she wasn’t in a laughing mood.
The two
lugs were his big problem. After checking for signs of life he figured they
were both dead. They looked it to him, but what did he really know. He found
some old blue plastic drop clothes in that little shed. He wrapped them up and
dragged them over towards the lakeside, taking time to rest several times. Resting
had become important to Jared.
Getting
them away from this property was key. But, he figured that no matter where they
were when and ifdiscovered, Nancy would be the prime suspect. And of course he
and Beth wouldn’t be far behind, if the happy Town Manager was still in the
evil doer’s pocket. We got rid of two and may be facing an army.
He was
just sitting there on a big rock, looking cool and in control, mesmerized by the
grace and strength of Nancy pushing the canoe towards him. As she grew closer, he
thought he saw a smile, like maybe she too was tickled, well perhaps mildly
pleased, to see him waiting patiently on the shore. He stood, just as she drove
one last stroke, expecting to catch the bow and bring a quiet docking. But,
just at the last minute she drove the paddle into the water and spun the craft
neatly into a small landing spot. He just shook his head in admiration. But,
knew that what looked good was only a small part of the world he had chosen to
enter.
The
Answer:
#10 is the Buick Enclave. Then we have the Volvo
XC 60, BMW X5, Infinity QX 80, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q5, Lexus RX, Mercedes GL,
Acura MDX and at #1 – Land Rover Range Rover.
I’m
having trouble singing a happy tune with thoughts of
ISIS getting their hands on a nuke. Maybe it’s just me. I worry too much.
