Today's Tids Issue 4,475
Tolling:
This always a paragraph which is so hard
to write. It’s the one about Americans at work; pouring a morning
coffee, making a copy, fearing a moment with the boss, smiling at a co-worker, remembering
to call home about a plumbing problem. Yes, people at work. Real people of every
possible classification. People who without warning, set upon by murderous dehumanized
invaders from the Middle East. There are images I can never forget, and hope
that all across the land sense forever the immensity of the carnage. Yes, never
forget, even though it still hurts to the core. The memory must remain for what
it is. To keep us all on the alert, ever vigilant, no matter how many may want to
soften the enormity of people killed instantly, people cringing in fiery offices,
falling in the sky. Let us pray for those how died and ones who live with memories.
One constant of innate trust
has always been feeling secure in knowing that you are safe from an oncoming
fellow driver suddenly crossing over into your lane. With today’s in car distractions,
no more. It seems that my heart aches daily for some innocent driver and
passengers suddenly, in fleeting second, in the midst of a horrible tragedy through
no fault of their own.
A couple of Dans, Department:
The Dems this morning were looking for a headline
that said, “Trump doomed as Dan McCready wins long held Repub congressional
seat in North Carolina.” The Repub Dan Bishop won handily in a special run-off.
Are too many polls these days built on the hopes of Dems.
There is no truth to the rumor
that vegans are using pomegranate for kitchen counter tops.
Being more than a little burned
from some high flyer IPO”s, more investors are looking for more data behind initial
valuations. Warm hearts and good feelings are just not enough anymore.
The Questions:
When somebody says you are “Full of Beans”, what
exactly are they saying?
The Headlines:
--America Pauses; Remembers; Vows.
--US Importers Out $6.8 Billion After Paying
Tariffs; Consumer Prices To Rise.
--China Exempts Some American Goods From Tariffs; Is
There A Break From Deadlock On the Way; Stocks Up Slightly In Late Morning.
--Muslim Americans Deride Choice Of Charles Kopperman
As Interim NSA.
--Uber Lays Off Nearly Five Hundred More Execs; Ride
Share Companies This Morning Learn Of Last Nights’ California Vote To Move
Along New Financial Protections And Benefits For “Gig” Workers.
--Trump Takes Credit For North Carolina GOP Victory.
--California Mega Church Pastor And Author Jarrid Wilson
Takes Own Life.
--New ABC/Wapo Poll Has Five Dem Candidates Over Trump
In the Proverbial “If An Election Were Held Today”: Biden +16; Sanders +12;
Warren +11; Harris +10; Buttigieg +6; All of Them Widen Leads Since July Poll.
To me, there is no better house roof
than one of character using white cedar shakes. The only problem, it is cheaper
to gold leaf your roof.
I believe we are well beyond the two-party
system already, but the power (That’s called money) still
lies with the traditional two-party harangue. We now have 5-10 parties with distinct
objectives for the USA that could be called Communist, Old Fashioned Repub, Old
Fashioned Dem, Liberal, Conservative and Militant. Rinos are moderate Repubs
with a feeling heart and Blue Dog Dems are probably socially conservative with a
blue-collar soul. And then we have California. I think a good book could be written
abbot the fractionalization of America. This essentially means that in a two-party
system very few Americans are ever truly satisfied with the results. There are
just too many independent minds to live happily ever after as one or the other.
I used to believe that the brain
was the most important organ. But then I thought, hey, look who’s telling me that.
I think that Tulsi Gabbard
is one of the more interesting of the Dem candidates. Unfortunately, she will not
be part of the next big Dem show tomorrow night. I mean, I probably disagree with
her on just about every front, but she was the most refreshing of the combatants
last go-around. If you have to watch snippets of Dems beating on each other,
you should have the chance to listen to someone who tells it like it is.
I wonder if US Muslim organizations
understand the concept of Separation of Church and State, used successfully by the
left to decimate Christian traditions.
The next biggest “He said, she said”
case should be between NFL Player Antonio Brown and a former associate, trainer
named Britney Taylor. Legal voices are already taking sides, obviously, with 24/7
news and talk shows. Why would we expect anything else? Most noteworthy early
in this discussion, according to legal minds, is that civil suits normally
follow criminal cases. But in this instance there was no previous criminals legal
action, or hospital report or police report. In civil cases, nothing is really
ever proven. I’m seeing settlement. And the Pats must decide whether or not to
keep a guy who before was only known as a locker room annoyance, but now could
be a possible sexual assaulter.
Did you ever think a chicken sandwich
could upset stability on Wall Street? That’s what’s happening with the new out-of-nowhere
super popular Popeye sandwich which has other chicken people scrambling. I’d like
to think we are not a chicken sandwich away from national economic instability.
You many have read that
Alibaba’s Jack Ma is on his way to retirement. But, in leaving he says, “I
have many more dreams”. It might behoove us to look for his next venture. He certainly
has proven himself with Baba.
I proposed to my ex-wife.
But she said no. She beievs I’m just after my own money.
Did you know that there
are Social Media Consultants who specialize in helping people get out of commitment
by designing nuisance tweeting conflagrations?
It’s not you grandfather’s world any
more. A judge in France ruled that a company is liable
for the death of an employee on a business trip, I guess no matter what
personal choices he or she makes. An employee of a large railroad company was having
sex with a woman in her home while traveling away from the office… and died of
a heart attack. Of course, logically, the company said the death was caused by
sex and not attributable to work”. The Plaintiff, a health insurance company
countered by saying, “(sex) relates to acts of everyday life like taking a shower
or eating a meal.” So, just don’t be surprised by anything anymore, especially if
you are a rationale, logical person.
Dueling Headlines:
Morning headline: “Now with Antonio Brown in the
fold, Patriots trade away Darrius Thomas.
Evening headline: Antonio Brown sued for rape and
sexual assault. Brown Status questionable.
The Answer:
No, “Full of Beans” doesn’t mean you are vegan of anything
at all derogatory. It means you are Happy, Cheerful and Full of Good Humor; Jovial,
Merry, Sunny, Bright, Light Hearted, Exuberant and having any sort of upbeat
outlook characteristics. I’ll take that.
One can be happy and upbeat
as their life’s personality, but also feel the hurt and burdens carried by others.
