Today's Tids Issue 5,028
Who Knows:
Two antennas got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.
Political junkie eyes will be upon Virginia today. Here’s an interesting Tids Tid-Bit of yore. In 1993 the Virginians voted to replace a Dem governor with Repub George Allen reflecting voter backlash against Bill Clinton and the Dems. A year later the Repubs took the House. So, that’s a big part of this story. Virginia will generally get a closer look because itis wrapped around Washington DC where the inaction is. Happy Election Day E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
I see that up in Glasgow Scotland where the Climate people are meeting that yesterday afternoon the world leaders were patting each other on their backs after passing a rule to stop deforestation as an aid to limiting greenhouse gasses. So now without so much wood the prices of homes will soar even further and the homeless population multiply exponentially. Or we ca replace all of the wood products with Plastic made from hydrocarbons. There is no free lunch.
Warm days in the fall may deceive
But we know one thing is for sure,
Leaves leave.

Acupuncture is a jab well done.
There’s hub-bub in the neighborhood. That’s because later this week 20 to 50 yards from this laptop they will be filming a segment of Hocus Pocus 2. And Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy will be roaming the local lanes and sidewalks. But the real excitement is what the set people are building. They are everywhere, transforming landscape. While most of our buildings here are 18th century, Hollywood w in a matter of day has constructed a 16th century facade that looks like it has been here forever. And there’s much more. Anyhow, maybe I can give you all some more first-hand reports on movie making.
Senator Manchin keeps on looking like a politician we need more of. Yesterday he advised the house to detach the mega giveaway bill from the already approved by the senate Infrastructure bill. The Dems need his senate vote, but if they remain illogically stubborn holding infrastructure the hostage, they will ever hear him say “Aye!”. Most politicians weaken by now, but Joe looks stronger.
I never knew that Hocus Pocus 1 was such a big favorite. But then I still dress like I’m in the fifties.
Ford is catching the eyes of investors as a good electric Car Play. And even more important, it a has solid creative leadership under William Caly Ford and Jim Farley capable of morphing successfully into the new era for automobiles.
Note: Don’t judge WC Ford’s management capabilities by the Detroit Lions.
All of these news proclamations coming from the Climate affair known affectionally as COP26 Summit just sound silly to me. A bunch of politicians jumping on
“Let’s go Bradon” is one of those odd American quirks that catches on so quickly in our new rapid fire sociomedical world. And people like me, and maybe you, say, “What in God’s name is that all about?” I case you aren’t familiar, here is a short explanation: “It all started at the end of a televised Nascar stock car race in Talladega, Alabama, on 2 October. NBC reporter Kelli Stavast was interviewing the winner, driver Brandon Brown, when members of the crowd in the grandstand behind them began chanting an obscenity directed at the president. The vulgar word directed at Joe Biden was clearly picked up on the broadcast's audio. Whether by mistake or as an intentional attempt to deflect from the swearing on live television, Ms Stavast told Mr. Brown that the crowd was cheering him on with chants of "Let's go, Brandon".
I personally will refrain from this latest national pastime because no matter how much you dislike a person, shouting vulgarities is never the answer for my kind of society.
Switched at birth: Larry Kudlow and Jack Benny.
Wearing glasses while doing math improves division.
Now I know Joe Machin is Ok. Alec Baldwin just bashed him. Remember Alec Baldwin
The Answer:
The nickname everybody probably knows is “The Spruce Goose”. Pretty clever.
Now with committed official global anti-deforestation, Howard would have been considered somewhat demonic building a wooden flying boat. So would Noah for that matter. Take down their statues.
I think today needs a little jumpin’ music. This one of my favorite’s and the Isley Brothers were first before the Beatles. My foot is tapping. My head is bobbing and I am smiling
