Today's Tids Issue 4,827

Sleep Time, Zzzzzzz:

 

One of the things that bothers me about the new society is that for some reason some people think it is ok to hack into other people’s digital devices and hang out, and read private stuff. Often, just because they know how to do it. In the past everything of importance was saved in our brains, but now the most precious of memories are just a hair away from being public".

 

“Honeymoon salad”: Lettuce alone!  Badda Bing!

 

Most people I know can reflect back many, many years and pull up beautiful nuggets of happiness from the past, right out of their brains. Will the new generations have to turn on their devices to find a moment gone by? If cyber space hasn’t eaten it.

 

Why call someone when you can just decide where you want to meet by exchange 73 text messages?

 

I was listening to our Governor Gina being interviewed in the senate for Secretary of Commerce. She made a statement that clearly defined the difference between Repubs and Dems. When asked a question about why RI is the worst state for business, she offered a slight of hand response and ended with, “I will use all tools possible for create jobs for the American worker”. A good Repub would have said “I will do everything possible to help make American companies highly competitive on the world economic stage.” Companies create jobs. That’s why companies don’t move to Democratic RI -- the focus is on the worker to the detriment of the job creators.  

 

The Question:

What well know late night comedian always said “I kid you not”?

 

The Headlines:

--Awaited Fed Decisions A Non-M Event, “Economy Moderated”, No  Interest Rate Increase In Foreseeable Future; Markets Tank Anyhow; S&P Falls 1.5% Form All Time High; Dow Fails To Take Off After Bad News Boeing Earnings, Down 1%; Nasdaq  Down Despite Good News Form Microsoft And Others: Looking Forward to Apple Earnings Tonight; Vacillating Stimulus Hopes Weigh On Markets.

--China Opens Door For Ant Stock Group Debut; GameStop Quashes Hedge Fund Short Squeeze.

--Senate Vote On Constitutionality Of Impeachment Trial Process Indicates That Trump Wil Never Be Convicted.

--US Consideration Mandatory Covid Tests For Domestic Flyers.

--Midwest And Northeast Preparing For Another Big Snowstorm.

 

My grandma always said, “Slow and steady wins the race.” She died in a fire. Covid is making me nasty. Or at least my humor.

 

It’s interesting that the last telegram sent by Western Union was four years to the day that Steve Jobs introduced the IPad Tablet. Well kind of philosophically interesting. You know, like in amazing technologies don’t last forever.

 

Help stamp out eliminate and abolish redundancy.

 

In case you are interested, Biden executive orders on are “The most aggressive moves on Climate Change of any president.” He’s not sounding terribly moderate lately.

 

I like boxy shaped cars.

 

My Tids brain seems bogged down, today.

 

The Answer:

It was Jack Paar who said “I kid you not.” It’s one of those expressions still tucked away in my brain. Jack is probably the guy who gave us the late-night format of today. Hie predecessor Steve Allen was very creative, clever but put on a different kind of show. Before that, Jerry Lester and Dagmar were a phase onto itself. And Ernie Kovacs was on another planet.

 

It’s time to start searching for tomorrow’s Tids I certainly didn’t find it today.

 

After kissing my girl on her sofa, she said, “Let’s take this upstairs.” “OK,” I said, “You Grab one end and I‘ll grab the other.” Badda Bing!!
