Today's Tids Issue 4,424
Things that last:
I like to wake up to tried and true morning routines with soft music in the background. You gotta keep up with change, but not everywhere.
Northern City Democratic mayors were really happy with their liberal Immigrant sanctuary policies as long as they all stayed in Texas and Arizona.
Who has more problems, Trump, Hunter, Rudy or Boeing.
If you think eggplant is good, you should try any other food; it’s much better.

I’m likening the new Netflix miniseries, “Fool me Once”. It is another of those Harlon Colbin mysteries, and so far, I have enjoyed every one of them. And I’m looking forward to twists and turns in this one too.
A wise old Tids reader from Florida writes to say the Red Sox may not as well show up this year because they have nothing. It feels like 1962 all over again. And who needs wise old friends from Florida who tell the truth anyhow?
Inflation is the most insidious fixed income killer.
According to Zillow, the hottest housing markets in 2024 will be Buffalo, Columbus and Cincinnati Ohio, Indianapolis and Providence RI. Just in case you have nothing to do but move to find a good deal.
Hey, a Providence guy won the “Jeopardy Second Chance" tourney Monday, and the answer to the final Q was Boston and Providence. Maybe the RI state legislature made the show's producers an offer they couldn't refuse.
About that California proposal to ban Football for kids under 12. Hell, I had my first concussion when I was nine, and it taught me a lot about how to be better. Mybe at has something to do with typos.
Now the AI crowd is saying they can “resurrect” the dead. So that's a good healthy use of AI – conning grieving relatives into believing Uncle Joe is back. I don't think that is a good idea. What if my relatives brought me back the way they always wanted me to eb. That would be a major embarrassment... if I knew. They will probably call the program Lazarous or from the more sacrilegious, Easter. But, common’ -- Resurrect?
The Georgia Trump prosecutor hired her lawyer boyfriend as an advisor for $600K. Not smart. Trump is probably smiling and you know he is preparing an entire new routine of insults. But I won't be listening.
It appears to me that somebody at Boeing came up with a money saving idea that it would be cheaper to build planes with door holes in the side and then cover them up for those airlines who don't want them.
According to the NY Times, Dems are befuddled by the reddening of Iowa. Things change.
I’m a sucker for plaid flannel shirts and antique wooden tables.
It is pretty easy these days to spend $100 a day on incidentals and not even know it. I remember when I used to love finding a quarter I didn’t know I had.
The Answer:
The Confederacy was formed upon South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. These inaugural seven were joined by Virginia, North Carolina Arkansas and Tennessee. There were five border states that were also slave states but believed in a strong Federal government—Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware and West Virgina.
I'd play Dixie, but most email services would block it. The Confederacy was born on February 8, 1861. In the evening of November 18, 1861, before she went to bed at the Willard Hotel in Washington DC, Julia Ward Howe wrote the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic. She said she slept quite well that night. She eventually set it to the music of a soldiers marching song, “John Brown’s Body” written by William Steffe in 1856. This is a nice version of a song that we hope lives forever.
