Today's Tids Issue 5,126
Look up, it's better:
We may not yet be in a recession, but the nightly news certainly feels like a depression.
Whatever happened to all of those container ships stacked up in ports. And if they have been offloaded and products are on their way across the country, why is inflation so rampant? Have the ships actually been offloaded or has the media just gotten tired of covering it. And, that’s the way it is, in this year of 2022.
The reason why the Tids makes so little sense these days is because I’m so constantly fighting through writer’s block. I keep throwing spaghetti against the wall and all it does is slide down into a gigantic mess on the floor.
Did you hear about the fireman who hates working at home?
The Question:

For all of you still following the strange case of swindler Anna Sorokin Delvey, the latest from her lawyer as of today is that she has probably been deported. Netflix paid her $320K to advise the filming of the movie. Crime does pay. It seems that every day honest hard-working people get a kick in the butt.
One of the bigger problems in the USA is the high cost of rents. And experts say it will not get better any time soon. In fact they are saying it could get worse beyond your imagination.
Did you hear about the woman who met a nice guy at a party and asked him to call her when he got home. Four days later he still hadn’t called, so she thought he was homeless. It made her sad.
Speaking of con games, the Governor keeps finding new groups of people for is $3000 give-away scam. Now he has sewn up just about every public employee union member vote. Who is next? The unions basically run this state which is one reason why RI business and growth opps will continue to flounder. Maybe that should be our new state fish.
Why isn’t Fe-male called iron-man?
I think everybody should stop what they are doing every once in a while and write some words that feel like a poem.
It’s time for a new bank. Mine can no longer get shipments of their China-made pens. I had factored free pens into my retirement plans.
Of all the presidents since Truman, Ike had the highest most consistent approval ratings in the polls. It’s nice to have a name that rhymes with “Like”.
The Answer:
In 1869, Aaron Champion hired Harry Wright, a cricket player, to organize, manage and play baseball, thus creating the country’s first baseball team – the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Bonus: Palos de la Frontera was the port in s Spain from which the genius navigator and one of the greatest all-time explorers, discoverers of all time, the courageous Christopher Columbus set sail across the threatening waters to eventually open the Americas to the modern world.
Every once in a while, I just like to end this morning mess with a song I like: It has no relevance to anything except it just sounds good to me.
