Today's Tids Issue 5,098
Sanity is good:
I can’t walk upon my beach today
Because weather couldn’t be worse.
Maybe I’ll feel that sun upon my back
With this little fantasizing verse.
For all the things we cannot do,
There are many beautiful dreams
That very often do come true.
When skies are grey, let your mind wander instead of your feet.
Odd: On this day in 2004, Harvard University sophomore Mark Zuckerberg launched The Facebook, a website he created to get fellow students to connect with one another.
I received from readers a couple of possible alternat versions of the Washington Football Team’s DC appropriate nickname, Commanders: How about “Commies” and “Commodes”.
The Question:
The International Space Station could fall from the sky. When do you think that may happen?
Th Headlines:

RI continues to lag the rest of the nation in economic recovery according to according to a report published Wednesday by Center for Global and Regional Economic Studies at Bryant University and the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council. That’s because they continue to reject big daring ideas while arguing endlessly over the return of “Happy Hour” as the key to an economic boom.
Yesterday was kind of sad. For the first time since last August, The Tids Pickers had nothing to do. Alas, football season is winding as in, what in the hell am I going to do now? To twist the blade in a little further, baseball mired I labor disagreements looks like it will be dragging its feet getting the season off on the crack of a bat.
Putin visits Estonia:
Immigration officer says: "Name?". "Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin".
"Address?" "Kremlin, Moscow, Russia".
"Occupation?" "No, this time just visiting".
I feel like whacking a golf ball as hard as I can with a great banana that carries it deep into the woods. It would feel refreshing despite results.
People may have forgotten that Putin has effectively assured himself the presidency util 2036 after successfully maneuvering a vote that changed the Russia constitution. That means he can wait out 4 ½ US presidential terms to put the USSR back together again.
Today is “National Homemade Soup Day”, and that feels just perfect for our icy, sleety Friday. Today’s other national day celebration is “National Working Naked Day”, perhaps not quite as apt for the weather. Unless you stay out of t weather.
Today’s headline says, “Biden launches campaign against gun violence”. Why don’t intrepid journalists ever write headlines like, President goes on tirade to rid USA of the results of criminal behavior. Why doesn’t President harangue congress and state governments to pass stiff laws against all crimes against society. Whither committed with guns or knives or brass knuckles or bombs or heartless fraudulent schemes.
According to new research, it says that about 7 hours is the optimum amount of sleep. Jeez, just by pure accident I’ve been living a healthy life style all of these years.
I don’t get overwrought about much of anything anymore because there is just too much of it.
A little white seal pup was seen laying on a local beach yesterday. People who know say that all observers should stay at least 150 feet away, and never try to feed it. Just dial up your local seal expert who will come and also stay 150 ft away. being a pup, they say, it is probably just tired after experiencing its first long solo swim in the ocean. It may lay there for quite a while, but it will feel that call of its watery domain again and waddle off.
The Answer:
The ISS is aging, cracks are appearing in its facade, spaceborne debris is hammering the exterior, and tensions between the United States and its primary ISS partner, Russia, are at all-time highs. That makes mapping out the future of low-Earth orbit in a post-ISS world more pressing than ever. A brand-new decision lays out a plan to bring the space station out of orbit in January 2031, plunging it into a watery grave in a remote area of the Pacific Ocean. That kind of startles me.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
