Keeping pace.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,342 

Some days you just gotta dream: 

 

 

Do you know what love is? 

It sounds a little like a song, 

A sad country song 

About doing somebody wrong. 

Sitting with tears in your beer. 

Because when a cowboy cries, 

It's because his love was so strong 

Losing it becomes the saddest song. 

 

The left is up in arms over the fact that Kristen Welker, new Host of Meet the Press, out of respect for the office called the TRumpster, “Mr. President”. That's how some the liberals professing to save democracy think. That their idea of democracy must be about one small segment of one party. That said. I can't watch or listen to DT who to me is like listening to fingernails on blackboards, ani has sense the Apprentice.  

 

It’s always a good day when you leave a doctor's appointment laughing. 

 

The Question: 

What were the original names of Boston, New York and Hartford. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets up; Looking Ahead to Fed Meetings. 

--Five Americans Formerly Imprisoned in Iran Arrive Home.  

--Ford and GM Layng off Workers due to Effects of the Strike. 

 

Is it a sign of advancing dementia when you can’t remember all of the countries in Africa?  

 

OMG, it’s “Climate week. God help us. 

 

But if you are a panda, good news, Today is National Bamboo Day. It is also great for casual gourmets: National Cheeseburger Day. That means we have to eat the Burgers plain and simple without the overload of accoutrements so popular today -- so we can actually taste the pure deliciousness of cheese and meat. Bring a cow meat burger to a climate sit-in and watch the eyes of the attendees as juice dribbles down your chin.  

 

If some day you are just sitting there as lazy clouds drift above, and all of a sudden you have this yearning to feel love in your heart, play a Puccini aria. 

 

Deon Sanders was always a publicity hound. But the latest stage of media adulation is just out of control. And besides he couldn’t tackle very well at all. 

 

In my first job in Pittsburgh, we lived in a two-family home on top of a giant hill. My landlord lived next door; He was a really nice guy with a good family who worked at the giant Westinghouse East Pittsburgh turbine factory. One day he called me over to proudly announce he had just bought a record of Madam Butterfly; He could hardly wait to play “Un Bel Di Vedremo” for me. As teh music flowed he just stood there beaming with a wonderful smile on his face. That was over 60 years ago and I still remember clearly the happiness in that quiet man. You never know what is in the hearst of people. 

 

California Dems are scheming ways to keep trump off the State Ballot, Hmmm. I thought the big national Dem push was all about saving democracy form the hands of Maga beasties. 

 

When exactly did sneakers become “Shoes”. 

 

Negative comments about a pitcher’s Perfect game are baseless. 

 

Today's year is 1938. I still don't really remember anything although I did have big curly haired dog. Actually, everything is big when you are a toddler. Of course, a big national story that was a disaster in New England was the giant Hurricane of 1938. People still talk about endlessly. (I do remember talk about that monster as my brain took shape shortly thereafter.) Hitler was making strategic moves in Europe under the naive noses of many European leaders. Roy Plunkett accidentally invented Teflon while fiddling around in his lab. A Hungarian Journalist Laszlo Biro invented the first Ball Point Pen, In those day sit was considered “Breakthrough Technology”. And it was significantly amazing. Orson Welles “War of the Worlds” radio program scared the hell out of Americans. Nuclear fission was invented in Germany. Seabuscuit beat War Admiral in the race of the Century. 

 

The Answer: 

Boston was Shawmut. New York was New Amsterdam and Hartford was Newtown. 

 

Fall in love for a moment:
