Today's Tids Issue 5,415
There is more to life:
It’s only another week or so until we are fully foliated again with lush greenery hiding the ills of winter, making the task of finding golf balls long anxiety filled moments. I guess hitting the ball straight is an answer.
Did you know that Iceland is only one sea away from Ireland?
A lot of my daily exercise comes from walking about a mile to a drug store to get lifesaving prescriptions. I don’t which is working best, the drugs or the walking.
Yesterday I asked about the best movies of the 1980’s and was surprised that two of my all-time favorites, Being There and Breaking Away, weren’t listed. Then I checked to find they were in 1979. Close but...
The Question:
I decided this week to focus on the 1980’s for a series of cultural questions. (BTW, the daily Q is the hardest thing to come up with each day. So, a theme makes this task a little easier. I Should have thought of that 5400 issues ago.) So, today I'm teams o won the most MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL championships during the 1980’s decade.
The Headlines:
--Markets Schizophrenic This Morning; Interest Rates Likely to Go to 5-5.25% Before Pausing.
--Major Pro-life Group Blasts Trump Over His Stance on the Pill Ban.
--Sixth Suspect, 15, Arrested in Alabama “Sweet Sixteen” massacre.
--Russian Bomber Accidently Bombs its Own City of Belgorod.
It was a gorgeous motioning. Just the right amount of coolness in the sunny dawning. And then I heard on the radio blaring about Biden announcing his candidacy for another four years and my body imploded.
Sales of the Ukraine Vodka, Nemiroff, are soaring around the world. Seems as though I should be able to find something
I went on the vodka diet recently. I lost three days in one week.
A consensus is building among economists for slow growth for our economy. That combined with rate increases puts us on a tightrope where it doesn’t take much to put us at least into a small recession. That’ probably where honest analysts are now,
It’s a week away until the NFL Draft. This looks like a huge USA event anymore. Downtowns of cities, this year Kansas City, become arenas crammed with screaming fans. They stand shoulder to shoulder waiting endless hours for one moment when their team picks. Then they boo or applaud mi maniacally. And wait again. Pop bands and performers add to the excitement of watching student athletes who have learned that playing football can make you a multi-millionaire while a degree earned from going to classes could find you a job as a restaurant server.
That said... while the NFL wants you to think that their draft is the all-consuming interest in America each April, last year the TV viewership dropped 22%from the previous year to a little over 10 million.
Someone told me you can clean pigs with vodka sounds like Absolut hogwash if you ask me
Are adolescents wearing T-Shirts in 40-degree weather that much heartier than oldsters like me wearing 3 fleeces.
Discovering too late that a watermelon spiked with vodka had accidentally been served to a luncheon meeting of local ministers…. the restaurant's owner waited nervously for the clerics' reaction. "Quick, man," he whispered to the waiter, "what did they say?" "Nothing," replied the waiter, "They were all too busy slipping the seeds into their pockets."
The Answer:
In the NFL, The San Fran Niners won 4. Next was Raiders and Redskins with 2. I just loved typing Red Skins again. In the MLB, the LA Dodgers won two, and were the only multiple winners. In the NBA, the Lakers won 5 and the Celtics won 3. The other two champs were the Six’ers and the Pistons. In the NHL, two teams each won four Stanley Cups, the NY Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers with Gretsky. So there are your major sport kings for the 1980’s
Have a great Weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
