Today's Tids Issue 5,282
Blatant Con Job:
I’m hearing that 50 thousand people including police officers from across the country will be in East Hartford Connecticut today to honor the two policemen ambushed an ruthlessly murdered last week. We do too much to rationalize criminal behavior at the expense of negating the respect of those who put their lives on the line for all of us every day.
From Mother Goose and Grim comics Today: Being cremated and having your ashes strewn upon a favorite lake is called by insiders, “Bake and shake”.
How about that – the coldest ever mid-October in the Midwest. Yikes...something must be happening to the climate. Are we on the verge of another ice age?
Just so you know, it was just reported that a Newport charter fishing Boat landed an 800 pound blue fin tuna Sunday. This has been a very good year for tuna around here.
The Question:
Clunker Junker, a site that receives continuous streams of complaints from drivers on the road about dangerous drivers passing them by has listed the five states with the worst drivers. What are they?
The Headlines:
--Futures look to positive opening on Wall Street.
Well we were barely hit 8-6 last week, not adding much momentum to what now looks like a pigskin in the sky objective. Actually, with a record of 56.5-37.5 (60%) the TidsPickers are well ahead of some national experts. Frankly this looks lie another tough week. It appears to me that the defenses are dominant this year and that changes the formula for picking a lot. The guessing game starts tonight with The Saints and Cards. I’ll go Arizona. I have to take the Ravens over the Browns, and the Bucs to rebound against the confused situation in Carolina. The Falcons against the Bengals is a real interesting choice because Atlanta has been surprisingly good and Cinncy surprisingly mediocre,. But Il will pick Cinncy.. The Cowboys with Zak Back will beat Detroit. Oddly, the oddsmakers have the Jags as a favorite over the Giants. I’m sticking with the Jints.
Moving on, I just like the resolve of Tenn and I take them over Indy. The Pack will finally look like their image against The Commanders. The Broncs have been a big disappointment. They really need to beat a Jets team that is looking quite good. I say they will and surprise us. The Raiders will win #2 against the Texans and I'm picking the Seahawks to upset the Chargers. The Chiefs against the Niners looks like a very interesting game. But I'll go with the magician Mahomes. Is Tua that important to the Dolphins? He's back and is that good enough to beat the Steelers. And on Monday night where I will now get no sleep, I hve ot go New England Patriots over da Bears. But who will play QB for the Pats. That ls the real question.
Isn’t intersting how “D” has become more significant in both baseball and football, where f good pitching has pushed down batting averages significantly and good D has lowered average scores. Pretty soon they’ll both be like soccer and hockey. But never like basketball.
I have always found Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy watching to be a mindless relaxing sanctuary far from the bitterness of the world, Where I could watch regular Americans enjoying themselves and using their mental talents. That is until now when they have been infected by never ending caustic political commercials. Over and over and over and aner again. Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!
When somebody offers you a free app to make "your life easier”, when you accept you are really granting a license to have your personal information stolen forever. I thought the little joke below was relevant:
“UPS: Your package is in your town on a truck driven by bob and will beat at your front door by 2:37
FedEx: Your package is somewhere and you’ll get it when we give it to you.’
USPS: What Package?
Amazon: We are in your kitchen having a cup of coffee.
Facebook: We know you were thinking of getting a toaster yesterday. Her are 20 ads to help you.”
According to Oracle's Larry Elison, his company has files on 5 billion people worldwide. Help!
The networks carried Joe B’s water last night when they extolled his decision to release oil reserves but forgetting to say at all that what he released was less than one day's oil consumption. The Gov believes that the use of the word “millions” will have Joey bag of donuts believing anything.
(I have more on Oil consumption facts for tomorrow)
By the way, at press conference yesterday in answer to a reporter’s Q, JB said with a straight face that the oil release had nothing to do with the fact that Dems are fighting for their existence as the majority in Congress.
The Answer:
The worst drivers are in Rhode Island, according to this big survey. The next four are Mississippi, Virginia, Arizona and Texas. I contend that most of the bad drivers seen here are on I I95 and they are mainly drug dealers from NYC driving rapidly through RI to make deliveries in Massachusetts. On the other hand another survey by “Safety News” has RI as the 2nd safest driving state after Mass. The rest are New York, New Jersey, Washington, Minnesota, Hawaii, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire.
Thursdays are always pretty great. So just enjoy it and mute the political ads.
