Today's Tids Issue 5,364
Let it all out:
Somehow fields of daises wave again,
Even under winter’s icy cloak.
And smiles are bright, dancing with the sun,
And the warmth of love fills the air.
And great loves though even gone.
Are felt today as always there.
It’s a time to open up your heart.
Don’t let life’s decisions block the way’
Live all the love you've ever had,
On this Beautiful Valentine's Day.
I guess I just have to stop being an old curmudgeon for a day. It will be hard. But you can do just about anything if you really want to.
God, my heart aches over the latest rampage last night at Michigan State U. Don’t ever tell me that these computer games have no influence on the current attitude that seems to dehumanize life. People on campuses and in shopping malls are not digital creations.
This morning in the Comic strip, “Rhymes with Orange” by Hillary Price we see two people standing, holding hands, looking at each other while under their company sign, “Tinder”. A boss is staring at them saying, “Do I have to remind you guys of our romance policy,”
The Question:
Why should you never marry a tennis player? Bonus: Why is your girlfriend a keeper? Extra Bonus: What did one boat say to another?
The Headlines:
--3 Dead, 5 Wounded in Critical Condition, In Michigan Satie U Shooting.
--CPI Rises .5% Over December to Higher-than-Expected Rate of 6.7% inflation; Jan Inflation Level Still Lower Than Previous January. Core Rate (Minus Food, Energy) Also Hit Higher Mark Than Predicted.
--Stock Indexes Down; Small Business Still Quite Cautious About Economy.
--Nikki Haley Officially Tosses Proverbial Hat into GOP Presidential Ring.
--Sensors From First Chinese Spy Balloon Recovered from Ocean.
Whatever happened to wholesomeness?
Worst Valentine’s Day Line: You are like dandruff because I just can’t get you out of my head. Even I'm not a big enough flake to say that.
But how about, my name is Microsoft. Can I crash at your place tonight?
The Biden Admin today will tout the new Jan inflation rate that is slightly lower than last January. Economists will be concerned and betwixt the old rock and hard place now that the rate increased so much over last month. Once again it is politics versus reality.
California legislators continually push for more electrification in a far less efficient power grid system increasingly reliant on so-called alternative sources. Do you see a potential conflict in that sentence. Like maybe more demand and less supply and skyrocketing costs to consumers. And blackouts and power rationing. Just to be first.
Guns are the implement, what is inside people’s minds is the problem.
All of a sudden, I’m dreaming of hot fudge and butterscotch mixing together. Where’s my insulin!
I was in the shop looking for a jacket to buy my girlfriend as a Valentine’s present. I couldn't decide which one to get, so I asked the salesman, "If you were buying a jacket for your girlfriend, which one would you get? He said, "A bulletproof one. I'm married."
The Red Sox are in the process of opening spring training and this morning in the paper there was not a mention of it. Now, that is sad. I wrote a letter to the Sports Editor, but without financial resources these days, he is basically helpless. Hey, we’re talking the heart of New England here, and nobody seems to care. That’s a kind of sad Valentines Day tale.
Too many people gravitate to national news. But local news is where I’m at.
If love is blind, why are lingerie sales so good?
I have written often over all these years that I believe in the theory of inevitability. It’s aways going to be more efficient to accept certain truths and move forward; to stop arguing relentlessly over minutia. Whether misused grammar or the end of the earth. There are just some things you know that won't work out and you can move your energy elsewhere.
Egg in my beer; or is it egg on my face, Department:
I made a comment yesterday wondering why Blue Moon Beer let other beers Coors and Miller Lite get so much airtime in their nearly $10 Million SB commercial. Well, Blue Moon is the craft beer division of Coors/Miller Company. BTW, the name stems from the vision that unique, great-tasting beers come into existence only once in a Blue Moon. Blue Moon was the creation of the great Coors brew master Keith Villa and Marketer Jim Sabia at Coors Sandlot brewing complex.
And...it was not a very good commercial. At least to this curmudgeon.
Man: "Honey, on this Valentine's Day, I want to tell you something... I'm not rich like Jack. I don't have a mansion like Russell. I don't have a Porsche like Martin. But I do love you and I want to marry you." Woman: "Oh, dear, I love you too! What was that you said about Martin?"
The Answer:
Never marry a tennis player because to them love means nothing. Bonus: My girlfriend is a keeper because she works in a zoo. Extra Bonus: One boat said to another, “Are you up for a little rowmance”.
I always look forward to Valentines Day though at times a little schmaltzy, because I think romance is about as special as life can get. There is nothing like feelings you can give to another.
The book and movie “Love Story” about a girl from Cranston RI and a boy at Harvard is one of the great love tales, at least to this simple soul. I like the movie’s music too. Maybe a nice tune for Valetine's day. Isn’t it interesting how often years ago music without words could become great hit songs. Sometimes your own feelings can be the most beautiful lyrics of all.
