Helping Heart:
Of all the people in the world, your heart just has to go out to are th Haitians. This is a people who just can’t catch a break. For centuries mired in corrupt uncaring despotic dictators, viciously attacked by storm after storm, and now when seeking to breathe again after the assassination of a president, they get wracked by a massive 7.2 earth quake. They never seem to get to experience ateh soft tender passage of piano concerto, only the angry notes of the wind and the earth. And the heartless.
Now, though, the hearts of the world are also hanging out there for the Afghanistan people, especially the women who more than likely only have to look froward to a future I shackles. How swift and devastating was the rise and domination of the Taliban.
A good Tids reader and friend suggested to me this morning that we would have been better off arming and training the women of Afghanistan. They would know what they were fighting for.
So much for the accuracy of US intelligence.
Husking corn in August is one of those glorious seasonal thrills. Isn’t better wait and enjoy locally grown corn than submit to year-round corn simulated in hydronic greenhouses. Waiting for ornis a wonderful oart of life, and we are always rewarded every summer..
Why doesn’t anybody feel sorry for, take up the cause for, the defenseless Krill. People love to hate corporations for tromping on the little guys, but are in love with whales who eat 40 tons of Krill per day. Are krill just born to be food for happy ocean wanderers like whales, dolphins and penguins. Remember that overtime you smile at a fat, waddling penguin – somewhere a krill’s mother is crying.

It is a little disconcerting to see sports gambling company Draft Kings as a sponsor of PGA Golf on TV. “Did he or she miss that putt on purpose. or…”.
Frankly, it is a little discouraging to think that a growth industry in America is gambling.
The idea that the USA made a difference in Afghan looks pretty shallow now. Like the classic house of cards. Was there anything else going on in Kabul other than Policitacn talking and spending our money.
If the NY Times had comics, maybe their readers would have a more realistic view of life. And maybe they would be laughing a little bit more, instead of glaring angrily at those with different views.
I should have changed my Tids, Fri/Sat Hamlet Soliloquy to, “To vax, or not to vax/…” That is a more appropriate subject for the lament.
How come people who park in city handicap parking places in this town don’t have to pay parking fees. Huh? The spaces are designated for people with physical handicaps, not those with financial problems.
There was an anti-vaccine rally in LA over the weekend which turned into a riot. First, why are they holding an anti-vaccine rally in the first place? Second, how can vaccine people and anti-vaccine people hate each other so much?
The six most corrupt states in the USA are New York, Illinois, Louisiana, Alabama, New Jersey and Rhode Island. You would think that in a state as small as RI, people would be able to keep a close eye on each other.

The Taliban chiefs must really suffer extreme agita over LPGA golf where men carry golf bags for women.

The H&G Channel is turning into a big blur.
Actually, the world I remember is turning into a big blur.
There are an awful lot of people who need help every day of their lives. Disasters and tragedies just wake us up.
Here is a piece of music I like to think by. I’m thinking of people who need help today
