‘’Life is the flower for which love is the honey”. –Victor Hugo. Aah, the French, forever romantic.
Traders are getting serious about looking at Delta and assorted variant cousins, and thy are starting to less and less like what they see. A diminished economic outlook here, and a diminished economic outlook there, and…bingo –a pullback. Beware.
The worst of the Ida nightmare maybe ahead as there are big shortages of labor and material needed to put the region back together again. This may also be a micro picture of the broader economy problem.
But there is good news. It’s “International Iguana Awardees Day!” So we should be seeing fewer Iguanas with low self-esteem, which will be nice. Say hello to an iguana today.
Cows have hoofs because they’re lactose.

In case you were interested about yesterday’s Tids title, a zeptosecond is
the shortest unit of time ever measured -- the time it takes a light particle to cross a hydrogen molecule. And you can believe that digital progress will make that a norm someday. It just meant to remind you that there is no pullback from answering a scam email. There are no grace periods.
Dilute the Hysteria, Department:
Apparently, there was one of these endless arguments about whether or not college band members should be separated into non-vaccinated marching segments. In fact, they broke it into two groups This lead us to predictable hyperbolic comments by local onsite reporter describing the scene as a “Hostile Environment.” Observers were heard commenting that, no, “a hostile environment are America soldiers holding back crowds at Kabul airport.
Bears who both love and hate the snow are bi-polar.
Earlier in a Tidlet about New Orleans recovery I mentioned supply chain issues as being a growing problem across America. Since then three companies, Sherwin Williams, PPG Industries and Pulti Builders have issued economy growth caution warnings as they find serious supply chain interruptions stifling deliveries, and maybe more important, causing severe rises in prices perhaps leading to lower sales as customers begin to back off. .
In case you missed it, Wiley Miller this morning in his daily Cartoon series “Non Sequitur” offered a suggestion on how to obliterate Social Media: “Add an addendum to the First Amendment requiring “Knowledge” before voicing an opinion.
The good news is that our Morning glory vine is still pushing out happy blue flowers each dawn.
I think I’m about to experience a life changing event. Coke and Pepsi seem to be dramatically changing their regular Holiday “Sale” strategies, attempting to get an additional 19/ bottle cents out of me.
Yesterday, a baseball score of interest was TB12, Bost 7. I wondered if Tampa Bay QB Tom Brady gets royalties very time baseball’s TB Rays score 12 runs. TB12 is Brady’s registered trademark
You have to wonder why GOAT TB seems to now abet New England so much. All the Pats did was to pick him off the scrap heap and help him become one of the greats of all time. It had ot be Giselle.
Woking the Tampa Bay baseball team nick name has to have been one of the most mind boggling – changing Devil Rays to Rays. Why? Was it an insult to Satanists! A group by the way that just came out against the Texas Abortion Law.
The Answer:
Saint Augustine Fla was the first permeant settlement in North America, established in 1565! Bonus: Colonel George T Balch wrote an early version of et pledge in 1885 which read: “We give our heads and our hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag.” It was adopted by several schools, but in 1992 Baptist minister Francis Bellamy to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus u opening us up to civilization: “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” As you can see it has undergone small refinements and one big change in 1954 at the urging of Ike, the insertion of “Under God”. Shhh – don’t tell the wokers about the Columbus connection.
What a shame, cutting up the statue of Robert E Lee into little pieces. Shouldn’t they just had stored it somewhen until in the future when Americas regain their senses. Go Skins”.
