Today's Tids Issue 3,631
For America:
Well,
folks it is July. That month when Americans celebrate becoming
who they are -- officially exiting from the British, or the first significant Brexit.
And have we been happy we set ourselves adrift to fight the winds and storms on
our own; a new nation free from the sovereign tyranny. How great had that government
of the people by the people and for the people become; the pride of the world, the
most desired place for personal freedom and individual opportunity…a God
fearing nation filled with trust and responsibility. The good ole’ Red, White
and Blue that waves ever true. So, July Fourth gets our hearts athumping. And then
we realize…you can’t go anywhere because these freedom seeking Americans are
clogging roads and out of the way places.
You
have to wonder how many men have asked themselves, “I wonder
what my mom did with my baseball card collection.
But,
I can get over the overwhelming masses commandeering
roads and neighborhoods, because when that first drum rat-a-tats, and those
trombones and trumpets blare, I’ll look up like I always have and feel proud as
that flag of stripes and stars passes by.
The
Question:
Name five of the “Stans”. Bonus: What are the five best known Marlon Brando Movies. Firecracker Bonus: Name five of the early
American Flags.
The
Headlines:
--Americans Picking Blueberries, Baking Apple Pies
And Chopping Onions For Hot Dogs As Big Day Nears.
--Markets Start In Positive Land For Fourth Consecutive
Day. Pound Still Down.
--Hershey Says “No” To Mega Offer From Food Giant Mondelez.
One Great American Institution Continues.
--Loretta Further Distances Herself From Ill
Advised Clinton Meeting By Saying Experienced Prosecutors Will Be Sole Determiners
In Hillary And Bill FBI Matters.
--Driverless Car Death Could Inhibit Public
Acceptance Of Giving Up Control To Digits; Tesla Car Could Not Distinguish Side
Of Large Semi from Sunlit Sky.
My
computer is getting old and crotchety, and it’s making me
the same.
Actually,
my mom saved my marble collection, but I haven’t noticed
marbles going for tens of thousands of dollars on Antiques Road Show.
There
is really nothing to like about Donald Trump except that he
is the only person, today, between Hillary and the White House.
Personably,
I feel that all of this new driver assist technology is
making drivers less responsible and creating bad habits. I can take this back
to the early four wheel drive cars and SUV’s where drivers a had a sense that
they didn’t have to be careful on snow covered roads.
There
has been a lot of focus on the FBI Investigation of Hillary’s
emails and her less than generous testimony about them. Little info is know
about a parallel investigation of the FBI begun after finding new Hillary emails
on the subject of The Clinton Foundation. Apparently, there is some very
damning stuff that has the FBi cranking up a further look into the dealings within
their money machine.
I
really get tired of hearing firecrackers going off at all
times during the night over the fourth of July weekend.
Wouldn’t
it be nice of all business and personal relationships
were based entirely on human honesty and trust, and that the legal aspects were
designed only for framework. It seems nowadays that legal documents are being
designed to get around ethics, morals and certainly trust.
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--I have always liked the Legend of Tarzan, but this
one that takes place in modern times and has the making of a decent plot, doesn’t
quite make it. Tarzan, Now Lord Greystroke, has been invited back to Africa as
an emissary. But, there is a plot and he is the dupe. The evil doers however do
not know what they have bargained for when they agitate this gentle man formerly
known as Tarzan of the Jungle.. You could be disappointed though.
--BFG is a fair movie about a young girl, The
Queen of England and a benevolent giant (BFG). Who set out to capture evil man
eating giants who have been terrorizing the world. Note: President Obama says
you cat call them man eating.
--Our Kind of Traitor has all of the elements of a
good spy thriller, Russian Mafia, British Secret Service, Paris, London and
dirty politics. Somehow it falls apart. I may go anyway.
The
Answer:
The Istanbul terrorists seemed to have come from Countries
who’s names ended in “Stan”, which means “Land of”. Maybe we should get to know
them: The biggest is Pakistan and the rest are Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Ubekistan,
Kyrgystan,, Turkministan, Tejikistan. There is no truth to the rumor that Irstan
was shortened to Iran. Bonus: Marlon
was great, and I always think of his first big pic, On The Waterfront. But a
lot of people liked the populate Godfather. He was greta in all of his pics
that include. Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One, The Young Lions, Burn,
Julius Caesar, Sayonara and Apocalypse Now. Actually, picking an actor’s best
movie list is really personal. Firecracker
Bonus: The first US Flag was the circle ogf 13 stars in a bue panel over 13
red and white stripes. Two popular, actively used flags were the Rattlesnake flag
with the words ”Don’t Treed On Me”, and one often carried into revolutionary war
battles called Maritine Colony of Rhode Island Flag (13 stars, Anchor and word “Hope”)
The Moultrie Flag was distinctive to the South colonies. The Green Mountain Boys
flag was very cool looking (A green flag with a blue panel containing 13
randomly scattered stars. Another of the best known flags was the Bennington Flag,
originally thought to be carried throughout the war but now it seems was made
for the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Isn’t
sad that a person who relies on trust of fellow humans
is often considered naïve.
I
found some negative quotes about and by Hillary,
but in the spirit of the Fourth of July celebration of independent States United
as one, I figured that laying off stomach turning discourse would be
appropriate.
Don’t
hold your firecrackers too long.
