Engineering works.

Today's Tids Issue 4,845

Refocus:

 

Well, the Perseverance made it though the “7 minutes of Terror” and landed perfectly. It was an amazing feat. But there was one big problem. Due to Covid the deliriously jubilant engineers couldn’t hug. Sad.

 

I’m not saying that Pets are controlling human’s lives, but they say people are bringing their animals to furniture stores to make sure the fabrics match the furs. If the dog’s tail doesn’t wag or the cat doesn’t purr, it is a no sale.

 

I broke a mirror the other day. Tat’s 7 years bad luck. My lawyer thinks he can get me 5.

 

The Question:

Who was the first TV couple to be shown together in bed on Network Television? Bonus: When was the Declaration of Independence officially signed? Who were the oldest and youngest signees?

 

The Headlines:

--Three Major Market Indexes Rally Before Opening; News About Greater Availability Of Vaccine Is Positive Influence On Market Going Forward.

--Perseverance Makes Perfect Landing Jezero Crater.

--Dire Texas Weather Disaster Deepens for Millions.

--President B To Attend G7; First Big Global Presence For New US Leader.

 

Here’s a headline that has been showing up on my phone all morning and one I could care less about: “Meaghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be returning as working members of the Royal Family” So?

 

And another who cares headline is about Ted Cruz wife and her texts telling us how this non- news event about Cancun unfolded. Spare me.

 

Does the media have any positive priorities any more.

 

I was thinking that it took a little over 7 years for the Perseverance to reach Mars. Think of the technology advancements that have taken place in that time!.

 

Another headline: “Biden can repay Black Americans through cancelling our student debt.” Repay for what? According to Akin Olla, a Nigerian-American political strategist and organizer, it is to repay Blacks for all of the “anti-black laws” that Biden backed or sponsored during his time as a Senator. That’s America today, I’m sad to say.

 

So, if a young man or woman in congress is thinking of a presidential future, they should never get involved in legislation that maybe good for all the nation but objectionable to a few.

 

Think I’m sarcastic? Watch me pretend to care.

 

NBC is launching a new Sci-Fy series I will be watching on Mach 1. It’s called “Debris” and it is about the investigation following the shooting down of a hovering alien space ship. I just hope they just keep it as an interesting science fiction mystery drama and not another social cleansing subterfuge show.

 

You may not have seen it on national news, but I read this morning that SC Governor Henry McMaster signed a new bill called, “South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat ad Protection from Abortions Act.” Planned Parenthood has already sued to preserve their right to stop heartbeats.

 

I think one of the reasons there is more hope for this economy recovering quickly as opposed to the 2009 financial disaster is because this economy was the result of a disease which can be corrected. While in 2009 it was the result of dishonest, reckless humans, which may never be corrected.

 

Our Governor who is in the process of being voted in as US Secretary of Commerce had been touting her excellence in managing the RI Covid programs. Last week Harvard rated RI last in its vaccination success record. Now it has been reported that RI for the past week was first in the nation in Deaths per capita. The national deaths fell by 32% while RI went up 43%. Well, anyway, our beaches are pretty.

 

From a very Conservative, thoughtful reader:

“Ted Cruz just proved your don’t have to be a Democrat to be stupid.”

Typoman lives in science!

 

The Answer:

It was Fred and Wilma Flintstone who first jumped into the sack together on network TV. Horrors!  Bonus: Most historians now agree that while the Declaration was submitted to Congress on July Fourth it wasn’t signed by almost all member until August 2^nd. The oldest Signee was Benjamin Franklin (70) and the youngest was South Carolina’s Edward Rutledge. (26). Thomas Willing and Charles Humphreys voted against the declaration and were replaced. John Alsop wanted to reconcile with Great Britain, so he resigned and was replaced. Those three replacements plus five more who couldn’t make August 2 signed later. It was fully signed by November.
