Today's Tids Issue 4,984
From within:
Did you hear about the new bestselling book in dog kennels? “Scents and Scentsibility.” Shoot m.
I just took a nice walk down town and passed several groups chatting. A couple of them were talking vigorously about vaccinations. There has to be more to living than that. But perhaps not more to life.
Let’s hope that someday Jeopardy gets its act together so we can get back to 17 straight game winner Matt Amodio who is now 3rd on the all-time regular season money winnings list.
A cowpoke wanders into town and walks into the local bar and says, “Scuffle, Brawl, Melee, Altercation. A grizzled guy sitting at the bar turns and says, “Hold it right there stranger. Thems fightin’ words.”
There must be some big issue I can talk about. Maybe this will get better. That’s the thing about the Tids, sometimes I wake up near the end.
This is a big to me. The NE Patriots just released Cam Newton. That is a big surprise to most, especially to a lot of the local spirts “Experts”. Bill is betting on the rookie. It makes sense in that Mac Jones fits the Patriots offensive system for the future.

Today is “International Overdose Awareness Day”. That is one damn serious problem. One second you are on one side of that edge and the next second you are dead. I find it frightening. And incredibly sad for those left behind. It’s easy to slip into the danger zone when you think you can handle anything. Then, suddenly realize you are overwhelmed and entirely addicted. This OD pandemic is one of the worst things ever. And the sad thing is that it could be controlled.
I like Irish music. It kind of goes to your heart. My mother would be proud of me.
A country boy fell into a guy’s laptop. He called the police to say, “I’d like to report a farmer in the Dell.”
Is this mess getting any better yet?
There’s a great reader of the Tids who wrote to say she taught school many years ago on Louisiana’s Grand Island. And she tells me that the close-knit fishing community was full of wonderful people. And that now she feels profound sadness.

So Biden has his congress looking into adding a massive Dental Health Insurance program to Medicare. It appears that dentists are not very happy with it as they observe meagre Medicare payments to doctors.

The Answer:
Well, there was Marcia Clarke, Johnny Cochran, Christopher Darden, F. Lee Baily, Robert Shapiro, Robert Kardasian, Judge Lance Ito, Kato Kaelin, Barry Scheck and Mark Fuhrman. These are indelible images for most.
Did you ever see a limo driver standing at the airport departure gate holding a sign with the name, “Godot”? Could be a while.
I much prefer a nation of people caring from within as oppose to being extorted into caring through societal pressure.
