Today's Tids Issue 4,709
Just being silly:
Is there anything better than laughter?
With sharing the levity of your heart?
To watch a friend or loved one smile?
Did you hear the one about Napoleon Bonaparte?
If Harry Truman were president today in the face of an aggressive virus, the sign on his desk would say, “The Bug stops here.”
The non-sequitur of the moment is that there are about 20,000,000 Americans out of work and the stock market is booming. If everything tends to seek an equilibrium, the markets must retract. Because joblessness is certainly not going to disappear overnight.
Did you hear about the formal wedding between two boxers? It was a black eye affair.

Yesterday marked the beginning of the end of the horrendous War, with a capital W, in the Pacific. Some look at it and only see destruction. Others at the time remember it as meaning salvation.
Thanks to Mike Peters I learned today that alphabet soup is coming out with oversized letters for seniors.
Yesterday morning I experienced that perfect storm of digital destruction. In the morning, Windows took quite a while to update my system. It bothered me a bit because I had a rather urgent Zoom meeting scheduled for 12:30. And you know about updates! Just before connecting, Zoom said, you need to update your current edition. Panic set in as I saw the minutes to the session tick down while Zoom was telling me “We’re almost there.” I connected and there was no picture of me. My anti-viral system had decided it didn’t quite like my new Zoom and the camera. Yikes. Talk about emotions.
I’m going to the guillotine today. My wife is picking up my severance pay.
The jobs returning from Covid lockdown are growing, but more companies are cutting out real jobs forever. It is wise to be extra careful about reading employment statistics which more and more appear contradictory.
The one about Napoleon Bonaparte:

I was going to tell you another joke about Napoleon, but it fell short.
The stock markets may continue to grow disproportionately to what we see in the real world of good jobs for good families. The reason, business will do very well and be profitable using machines. We must figure this out. The answer can’t be socialism.

I heard an overseas international news analyst saying that Lebanon and Iran are still working closely together despite appearances and can hardly wait for Biden to be in office, with the hope of sanction easing.
I just bought a doe it yourself kit. I’m going to clone a deer.

Number one is “Backstreets” The rest going up to Ten are: Born to Run, Thunder Road, Atlantic City, Prove it all Night, Brilliant Disguise, Badlands, Tougher than the Rest, Racing in the Street and The River.
Have a Great Weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
Springsteen and I certainly aren’t on the same page, but, the kid has talent:
