Today's Tids Issue 5,285
Just a little folk music, please:
Even Bob Dylan would be perplexed about how much is blowin’ in the wind these days. The domestic scene is bewildering but the global mess is at times incomprehensible, and scary too.
From a reader spending a day or two in Las Vegas we get this report: In Las Vegas, many players go to churches on the weekends. When the collection basket is passed, it is usually done by a Franciscan monk fully robed. They often drop their casino chips in the basket. They call the friar “The Chipmonk!”.
Today is National Chucky the Notorious Killer Doll Day. Hmm Does that give psychopath dolls a license to kill without retribution for a day? Check your closet.
The Question:
Name the five winningest D1 college Basketball coaches.

Wow! Did da-Bears ever surprise me.
*Let's hope that Chuckie isn’t down in those subterranean caverns. But don’t worry, the people aren’t stuck in an elevator. They are in a spacious cavern with a luxury $1000/night hotel and a food service. And maybe a bottle of whiskey or two.
If you have the right house in the right area, the current economic limitations to fast sales shouldn’t affect you at all. It’s like anything for sale – good stuff is always in demand. You can sell just about anything in a boomtime market. But when the economy goes south, quality rises.

Today is National Greasy Foods Day. Bacon fat here I come! Does today allow vegans to fry kale in pork fat without guilt?
