Today's Tids Issue 3,636
For Unity:
God,
what a terrible tragedy. A tragedy for families of gunned
down police, and for a civilized society. It seems to me that rushing to judgment
by politicians and the media before the all of the facts are in about shooting incidents,
inflames the problem, or even creates problems that aren’t there. And then, the
Pols rush to gun control. And what is accomplished – Nothing. The hatred remains
and the killing mentality thrives. Why isn’t there a cry to bring communities together,
Never in history have we had a President who could go into the communities to foster
understanding; Controlling guns is not an answer to diminishing hatred and ignorance.
We must encourage understanding rather than magnifying excuses to divide. I
know, I sound simplistic, I don’t live in the community. I realize that thousands
of great, smart people work hard in the communities for the good of the people
there. But we need more than ever a credible, human call for national
unification over division. We need the boss’s imprimatur for truth and understanding.
Talk about a great legacy.
The
daylilies and Shasta daisies are in full bloom
and the summer beyond the hatred looks great.
The
way I figure it, in about 22 days we get August and
the summer starts winding down. The summer wears me out. And, Cheeto dust sticks
to my fingers more.
The
Question:
10 car models are being discontinued. See if you
can name five of them.
The
Headlines:
--Most Of Nation Mourns Dead Police; Washington DC
In Lockdown; Hill and Trump Suspend Campaigns; Obama Horrified; Killer Said He
Was Enraged Over Recent Shootings And “Wanted To Kill White People Especially
White Officers”
--Wall Street Happy As New Jobs Hit 287,000; Dow You
near 200; Oil Production Companies Poised To Hire 100,000; Unemployment Rises
To 4.9% As More People Enter Workforce.
--Hillary Adds “Free College” To Bribe Younger
Voters; Hardworking Taxpayers Go Berserk.
--Consumer Reports Says Samsung Galaxy S7 Does Hold
Water, But Water Proof Claims Don’t.
--Trump Has Productive Meeting With Repub Honchos.
I
think Berzerk spelled with a “z” instead of an “s” makes
it seem crazier.
In
about two weeks we should start seeing native corn on
the cob. It may be the best season of the year. Maybe corn on the cob could
help unify angry factions.
Maybe
the new popular acronym YOLO has something to do with
declining responsibility.
Bears
tend to avoid power naps because it takes them four
months to wake up.
One
of the expressions that really bothers me is the young
married couple saying they have two nice “Fur Babies.”
A
reader sends in this relevant phrase: “A society
who makes war with police had better learn to make friends with its criminals.”
I
used to look at Mexico and think how lucky we were in
America not to have mass killings in the streets.
Today,
right I the middle of summer, we had one of those perfect
New England golfing mornings -- Foggy, cold and windy. Yum!
Reading
Between the Lines Movies Reciews:
--Not a particularly great week for movies, but
then this is summer when studio execs must think human brains go into
hibernation. The Secret Life of Pets is not great but may be the best of the
week, The animated movie is about the lives pets lead when their masters are at
work or school, or whatever.
--There are moments of laughter in the Adam
Devine, Zach Ephron immature romp, Mie and Dav Need Wedding Dates. The boys go
on line looking for dates for their sister’s Hawaii weding. They find a wild twosome
who even they can’t keep up with. I’ll never se it.
--Cell, based on Stephen King’s best selling novel,
is maybe the worst movie of the year, Even John Cuzack and Samuel Jackson can’t
make tis film work. At an airport an electronic signal turns a hundred cell one
owners into serial killers. Now, I might want to see this creepy mess, but it
is considered by critics and audiences to be entirely awful.
-- In fathers and Daughters, an award winning writer
(Russell Crowe) after a mental breakdown must cope with being a widower and father.
27 years later his daughter must struggle to forge her own connections. This struggles
to be watchable
The
Answer:
#10 is Toyota Venza. Next is Scion xB followed by
Scion IQ, Nissan Xterra (Personally liked by me), Mini Cooper Coupe and
Roadster, Land Rover LR2, Jaguar XK, Infinity Q40, Honda Crosstour and Mercedes
Benz M Class.
I
seem to be struggling to write happy Tids these days. Actually
I’m quite happy, but I think I should be sensitive to all of the tragedy around
us. It tough being an empathist.
Have
a great weekend, E-v-e-ry-b-o-d-y!
