“Our Foibles Are Really What Makes Us Lovable” – J. W. von Goethe




Today's Tids Issue 4,030
For Humility:

If alimony for dogs in divorce cases becomes popular, guys will be counting potential mate’s pets before proposing. The greater the number of pets, the smaller the diamond. Will family court judges need veterinary degrees too? If Kim’s bomb scares you, you can always find outrageous humor somewhere within these states of ours.

Yesterday, the average temperature across the USA was 9 degrees. Holy Al Gore, Batman!

It may not seem like it, but working on a rabbit farm can be a hare raising experience.

In the food trend department, it appears that delivered food prep kits have peaked and that regional US foods will go sub regional (i.e. New England would be either Maine or Rhode Island versions of the same thing). Ethnic foods will continue to be popular among the really youngest generations, including expansion beyond the main course to desserts and appetizers. But to me, the biggest change will be in meal prep. I have had this feeling for several years now, that chefs in the race to get in the spotlight dump every possible ingredient into a dish which often had the effect of hiding the main ingredient.  The new trend is alright with me: Let the main ingredient like super fresh fish or juicy meats shine. Of course, a little gravy or savory sauce never hurt.

Alert, Department:
If you don’t see the Tids for the next couple of days after this issue, it would probably be because of a power outage from the huge ocean storm coming up the coast.

The Question:
Mel Gibson has had a contradictory career. Frankly he’s a guy I would not like to see near that Big Button! It’s in his eyes. Name the top five Gibson Movies.

The Headlines:
--Global Economic Strength And Growth To keep Wall Street Moving Upward; More Retail Operations Expected To Close, Declare Bankruptcy; 12,000 Stores Predicted To Close, Up From 2017’s 9,000.
--East Coast Prepares For Huge Powerful Storm.; Frigid Temps Continue In US.
--Momentum Growing In Support For Infrastructure Construction Expansion.
--No Winners In Mega Millions Jackpot.
--Neil Young, Tom Petty And Other’s Rights Owner Wixen Music  Sue Spotify For $1.6 Billion; Wixen Says Spotify Had No License And Did Not Compensate.
--Trump To Make Best And Worst News Awards For 2017 On Monday.

I don’t see too many people walking around worrying about the bomb. Twitterer’s tweet, and despots threaten, but it seems that all of that potential earth destroying news is a big yawn. Hoda  replacing Matt or pot sales n LaLa land, are way up there on the concerns list. I guess the problem with lack of concern may be that no rational human being thinks that any leader is crazy enough to push a button that would annihilate him or herself.

“As intellectual as we think we are, we still trip…” --Robin Williams.

The more I look at law suits filed here and around the country the more I’m thinking that people are using them to settle petty grievances, or more likely to excuse their own shortcomings.

“My button is bigger than your button”. Say what? Does that have something to do with Marco Rubio’s hands?

Remember when GE was probably the safest stock of all to own; a foundation for all successful portfolios? If you don’t think anything is capable of changing dramatically, think of GE, IBM or Sears. It’s not just buggy whips any more.

Listening is the great equalizer.

They are calling the potential storm coming up from the south to hit us, a “Bomb Cyclone”! Yikes. I’m on my way to California for some pot.

Nicky Haley does not hedge.

The Tids can be like the stars in heaven and galaxies beyond, But did you know that the “QuantranTids” is a close paring of Jupiter and Mars. and the Blue Super Moon. I have always had this ethereal feeling as I wrote. It must be my Quantran coming out.

The Answer:
Gibson did have some memorable movies. Considered as his best was Braveheart. Next is Lethal Weapon followed by The Patriot, We Were Soldiers, Mad Max, LW 2, Maverick, Payback, MM 2 Conspiracy and at #10 – Conspiracy Theory. His next five were Signs, LW 3, LW 4, Ransom and What Women Want. He is also quite well known for his big personal effort “Passion of Christ”, which was #18.

People will always love your simple side.
