Gleaming autumn skies



Today's Tids Issue 4,511
Clarity:

If you look to the sky,
Your feelings won’t lie
The cloud glowing sunsets
Have startling effects,
Pure emotions above.
Are like falling in love.

I find myself screaming at a lot of things streaming.

I don’t eat anything pumpkin flavored during this fall foodie season, just in case you want to know which end of the squash Bell curve I live on.

One of the worst butchers, rapists and human abusers the world has known was caught and killed, and the left worries that words about his death were too harsh. And how about Wapo which at first described the depraved soul as an, “Austere, Religious, Scholar”.

New scientific evidence supports the theory that a massive entity crashed into the earth about 13,000 years ago causing extreme cooling and the deaths of many large creatures like Woolly Mammoths and Sabre Tooth Tigers. Apparently it is all about the discovery of platinum typically found in meteors and now discovered and collected from White Pond in Elgin South Carolina. Tracing platinum discoveries have led Scientists to determine that tis “Younger-Dryas” climate event was not just North American or even northern hemisphere but global. Other scientific communities attribute the eradication of animals to natural climate change, perhaps with contributions from an impact. The universe has never been static, and it isn’t today. Some Californians say it was the result of Christopher Columbus, and that supporting reports of that written by contemporary papyrus bloggers had been redacted..

The Question:
Who do you think are listed as the top Ten female singers from the 1970’s?

One cerebral reader writes to say he has several clues that he uses regularly to be sure of the difference between Francis and Frances. They include the deep voice of Francis the talking horse, and the fact that dot on the “i” represents a drop of sperm. What people won’t go through to be proper in life.

The best college football game this weekend will be between Florida and Georgia. Yes, the SEC, again. Clemson has dropped to 4th in the playoff standings, and I have to think that the current undefeated NCAA champion is a victim of weak schedule blues. This Saturday they play Wofford. Yet I believe there is no reason to overlook Tigers come playoff time. Ohio State is looking very strong is year, and may be the big factor, that is, if they can get by Michigan.

CNN: The Cicilline News Network.

This leftist network’s favorite spokesperson on getting Trump is my Congress person, a scary little individual who I can’t do anything about in all Democrat RI. The feeling of being a helpless voter is about as frightening as it gets in the USA.

I haven’t the remotest idea where I left the TV control.

And, the streaming wars continue. AT&T’s shares went up rapidly this morning because they priced their new HBO offering at $14.99. That’s higher than Netflix at $13.99. Amazon Prime costs $10. Bucks a month but you also get all of eth Amazon services including free shipping on orders. Apple and Disney are coming to market well under $10.00. I expect that our heads will be spinning as more and more companies (Yes some on drawing boards) get into the act. Are there enough writers and filmmakers to fill the need for good material? The operative word being “good”. Personally, I’m finding a lot of highly touted efforts from the producers like Netflix are pretty dismal, and appear basically play-dates for director experimentation.

The Answer:
#1 is Frida Lingstad of ABBA Next is Karen Carpenter followed by Agnetha Faltskog (also of ABBA), Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton John, Helen Reddy, Carly Simon and #10 Vikki Carr. The next ten are Shirley Bassey, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Donna Summer, Kate Bush, Anne Murray, Debbie Harry, Cass Eliot, Connie Francis and Nicollette Larson. Going to 25, we have Dionne Warwick, Joan Baez, Petula Clark, Judy Collins and Elke Brooks. I think that the lister got some of his decades mixed up. What about Roberta Flack who was very strong with several great song hits and is but #49. Also down the list, were forces Bonnie Rait and Grace Slick. And Emmylou Harris, who I like, dwelled down at #30. 

Music is personal. But lists are controversial.

Three of them:
