Do not crumble:

If you got no Zen, you’re not gonna find it on the top of a mountain.

Entrepreneurs have the guts to go out and start a business, to work hard, to pour out their sweet, often their blood; and sometime lose families along the way, in order to achieve an entity, which as one result, will provide jobs for those who don’t feel capable of putting their heads on the chopping block. And yet, we hear employees criticizing, ridiculing or demeaning boss entrepreneurs for their personal quirks, standards or demands. What schools need is a national Entrepreneurs week. Or maybe as part of a curriculum – how business works for all in the long run.

I’m not writing this Tidlet because of what AOC said about Presidents FDR and Ronald R – that they were racist. I’m writing because that mindset is an indicator of how people with an agenda foreign to many basic principles of the The USA move forward. Eliminate or disparage heroes and accomplishments of the past. It’s even easier now in a society where repeated tweets become dogma to some, regardless of truth or facts. If the national adversaries can take away foundations, then it is possible that increasing numbers of the population, many unaware of the past, will accept a leftist version of their big rock candy mountain.

My cousin, a magician, decided to incorporate the use of trap doors in his shows. But, I think it is just a stage he is going through.

I heard local a teen who is leading her classmates in this Friday’s World Teens for the Environment thing actually saying, “We only have 11 years left before we are doomed.” We laugh at Casio-Cortez, but she seems to be gathering the AOC acolytes.  Yes, we think that nobody would believe outrageousness, but obviously some teens don’t have enough knowledge to reject it.

The problem with emailing Grandchildren is that they never look at their email. That could be a cause for senior citizen depression.

The word “racist” has replaced the phrase “The sky is falling”’

A person who keeps on abandoning diet plans is a desserter.

Can be millions be made on the cannabis industry? Why not say a lot of investors. It’s just a matter of sorting everything out. Not so easy. There are four formidable companies in the recreational business, all Canadian. – Canopy (The popular choice), Aurora, Cronos and Tilray. The reason they have emerged is because Canada has had legalized MJ for years, and these four are basically seasoned companies (At least for a relatively new industry), which Wall Street can justify as investment worthy. Another group with good experience after a short time are five or six operations in the medical side of MJ production and distribution. A third group to watch are those purely into agricultural development for product production advancements, like Scott-Miracle Grow, (Hydroponic Solutions).  These are not considered Flying-high-by-nighters.  Of course, the big prize for investors is having companies they own being bought by an American giant, and that’s where all of the positing and the gamble comes in. And the rumors. Companies like recreational beverage producer Anheiser-Busch or one of the old cigarette companies like Imperial, Altria or Alliance One – each already with stakes in young cannabis companies. So what’s the point here? The industry should grow into a sound investment opportunity, but with risks as things get sorted out. The US is poised for rapid legalization, except that some now are saying is this any better for society than getting kids and adults hooked on cigarettes. The explosive side of this is recreational, if you make the right choices. The conservative side is medical, if you make the right choices.

Note: Even in the big totally legalized market of Canada, the biggest competitor with the most estimated sales to the leading four, Canopy, Cronos, Aurora and Tilray – is the ‘Back Market”.

I don’t like naming snow storms. Let’s say a guy who has a son named Willie, goes out with his son to shovel snow from a storm named Willie. After a while dad says, “F*** Willie! How’s that good for Willie.

If this Tids appears a little bouncy, it’s because they are splaying sprightly Irish music on the radio.

I haven’t talked much about new The Voice so far. But I have to say current iteration is better than the previous version, which I found hard enjoy. There are several singer so far which have made me smile. All of the judges have strong teams, and that includes Adam, who has been down for a couple of years. I also like the array of genre. In case you have missed it, they finish the “Blinds’ next Monday/ The “Battels” follow and those duets are always among the best TV entrainment performance of the year. Well, to me.

While on TV, “Billions” returns Friday, and I think it is going to be one of the best years in the series.

Nancy Pelosi was right about her views on impeachment. Part of the stability of the US over the centuries has been the acceptance off elected presidents based on the legitimate vote of the people. Like, abide or hate Trump, the fact remains, trying to evict him within minutes of his election is just not the way a steady government retains its integrity. And, has successfully for so may years. We could become third world country. But, let’s face it, Nancy has a tough road ahead if she believes in what she just said.

The Answer:

Doctor Herman Tarnower was shot in his bed by Jean Harris in 1980. He had dated Harris since 1966, but the founder of the Scarsdale Diet dated man other women, which Harris seemed to accept. Ona visit, she brought a gun, Harris was sent into a rage when she noticed another woman’s lingerie on his bed. Bang! Four times at close range. Bonus: Of course, there is Ax – Bobby Axelrod. Next is Wendy Rhodes and Chuck Rhodes. This year’s story will have Ax getting back at the weasel genius Taylor Mason. Other key characters are Lara Axelrod, Mike Wags Wagner, Kate Sacker and Bobby Connerty. Enjoy.

I Googled, “How to start a wildfire.” I got 48,500 matches.
