Today's Tids Issue 4,982
Do it yourself:
As vacation days wind down
Will peace come to this old Town?
Will streets be less clogged
And brains not bogged.
Will we stop looking both ways
On what are One-Way streets?
Cringing at too many horn beeps.
If only they would all just come
To keep our restaurants busy
Without local folks in a tizzy!
Yes, my dreams are Quixotic
For this town so alluringly exotic.
The Gov seems to be taking aim at the “Gig” economy. Or should I say big Labor operatives posing as the people’s representatives. In my humble estimate, the Gig economy’s all about American ingenuity and independence. People willing to work on their own, recieve a little more income from the companies who buy their services, but must manage their own costs, Of course, that falls out of the purview of union dues and stifling ambition. And the idea of people being independent and working for themselves does not blend well with socialist political concepts. The gig economy is about survival of the fittest. It turns out that when people jump into that jungle, most learn how to be fit. Long live the gig economy.
Today is National “Just Because” Day. Sounds perfect for idlers, dreamers, adventurers and lovers. And gig workers.
Do you realize how many people drive two miles to a gym to walk two miles on a treadmill? Mow the lawn!
The Question:

People are always looking for more things to celebrate. And finding new ways to spend money to do it. The latest trend is something called “Babymoon” which seems to be a second honeymoon just before a baby is born. Yikes! The top 6 places for babymoons are Maui, Scottsdale, New Orleans, Oahu, San Diego and Newport RI.
Babymoon?
Do you get the feeling that somebody is out to get Peloton?
President managers, Department:
Yesterday at the conclusion of his remarks on the murderous attack at Kabul airport and elsewhere, the President made the news again, and everybody is talking about what he said: “They gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O’Donnell of NBC.” The most believable and enjoyable presidents at press conferences have always been themselves, to me. Regardless of politics, JFK was the master. Reaganites would argue that the old movie star was the best. But both of them were pretty much who they were in every day life, and it made for a comfortable and open environment for reporters and viewers. Being yourself is the aways the best way to go, from presidents to kids I school.
I went for a job interview and the Manager said, “We’re looking for someone who is responsible.” “Well, I’m your man,” I replied. “In my last job, whenever anything went wrong, they said I was responsible.:
I do believe, regardless of party, that Presidential executive orders are getting out of control. If you think about it, they are primarily use to get around congress. Getting around Congress is not a American principle. Like or hate Congress, Congress is the voice of the people. Remember Checks and balances? It’s an old fashioned concept to guard against tyranny.
I always worry about a dip in the stock markets in September. This year with so many mysteries about the future still hovering around the economy as it seeks to come out from under, it could be more severe than usual. I think we should be stocking up on Tums as the markets could get quite bouncy towards the negative side. You kind of feel it in the wind.
Yesterday an 84-year-old man was given consecutive life terms for a double murder in 1976. He lived free for 44 years before his DNA on an envelope replying to a police survey did him in. Now he will spend a short time in prison for a gruesome cold-blooded murder and sexual assault of a young couple. Maybe he should get zapped in the electric chair to feel a little of the pain he wrought.
The Jeopardy transition gets weirder and weirder. Now Ken Jennings has a “past” centered around some quotes on the internet. What else!. Maybe he should have hired Biden’s handlers. Will any of those guest hosts who actually have the time to do the job be left after the internet investigations. I think I’ll apply. Do you think I have a negative history on the Tids?
I think a new book needs to written: “Quoting on the Internet for Dummies.” Maybe I should read it first.
The big new guessing game is, “Who is Biden’s handler? Who are the people or person behind the scene pulling all the strings? Bernie, Obama, Soros…? Your guesses are welcome.
The Answer:
Number one was Walter Cronkite. No surprise there. Next is David Brinkly, followed by Edward R. Murrow, Peter Jenings, Tom Brokaw, Harry Reasoner, Ted Koppel, High Downs, John Chancellor and Jane Pauley. The rest going up to 25 are Tim Russert, Lesley Stahl, Diane Sawyer, Chet Huntley, Howard K. Smith, Roger Mudd, Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, Eric Severeid, Jim Leher, Andrea Mitchell, Barbara Walters, Frank Reynolds Brit Hume and Cokie Roberts.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
