Overdone.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,595 

Broaden your taste adventures: 

 

Warning: We are approaching the ubiquitous “Pumpkin-Spice” Season. Prepare your taste buds. 

 

If people are willing to subject their total taste sensations to pumpkin spice everything be aware that they can be convinced to vote for anything or anybody6otlead them.  

 

But basically, the advent of PS means the waning of FC, fresh corn on the cob. Now this is for sure some kind of cultural disaster for sure. 

 

Trump had better find a new game or the nation coudl be stuck with Kamala. And that will be her old original Kamala, not the one remanufactured by media consultants 

 

As a spectator at the last Summer Olympics, I saw a guy walking around carrying a 10 foot long stick... "Are you a pole vaulter?" I asked. "No," he responded. "I'm a German. But how did you know my name is Walter?" 

 

The Question: 

What are the best High School movies of all time. Warning: Sometimes “All Time” is 3 to 4 decades, depending on the sample. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets Open Higher as Giddiness Rises over Tomorow's CPI; Market Jumps Strongly after Good PPI (Producer Price Index) Number; HD Reports Lower Revenue. 

--Iran Rejects US Calls to Refrain from Attack on Israel. 

--Trump and Musk Hold Friendly Discussion Session on “X”; Start Held Up 40 Mins on Technical Issue some Call Cyberattack; Fact Checkers find Mild Exaggerations (Which some may find Wild.). 

--Public Outrage has Melbourne Ayustralia Banning Renatal E-Scooters. 

 

I agree that the Department of Educaton should be dissolved dismissed and Ed decisions returned to the states, though RI hasn't proven it can get it done with or without Fed help.  

 

Yes, returning education to RI might not be so hot as it appears the Unions here own the Governor and probably most of of te legislature. Our Gov continues to demonstrate how he is in the unions pocket which generally means the tax collector will be reaching deeper into the taxpayer pockets. Our folksy Gov has been very generous to public employees. He has just approved an annual 4% salary increase. Let's see, the Fed has for several years now been working its ass off to get the inflation rate to 2%. Yes, in RI the state employees don work for us, We work for them. 

 

Boring days on Wall Street are better for retiree’s portfolios.  

 

By the way, on the stock front, it appears that stocks were up early this morning because investors are anticipating tomorrow's CPI number. Now why are they up when the number could eb bad for up. So, if it is bad the markets plummet which will induce panic plummeting. Yes, the markets are better in these times when they are boring.  

 

Sometimes all a recalcitrant computer needs is new battery in your mouse. 

 

I set the ring volume on my phone higher, not to get phone calls better, but to help me when I Deila for a lost phone. 97% of my phone calls are spam.  

 

“Mild”, “Wild” -- it's just a matter of upside down “M’s”. 

 

The Temps here are pleasant meaning we can happily move from AC to FA – Fresh Air. ‘You know the Weather people around here threaten us with heat wave talk but we really never had an official heat wave this summer regardless of how many people like talking about oppressive heat. Temps now are below average for this time of year.    

 

Humpty Dumpty always had a terrible summer. At least he had a great fall. 

 

 

But it was hot very hot in places. I heard from a friend who heard from a friend in Arizona that their Electric bill for AV for last month was $668! That will get your temperature boiling. Maybe in essence that's where Arizona heat comes from, people collectively fuming over high utility bills, 

 

The Answer: 

First, my all-time best HS Movie could be To Sir With Love. And one I remember as thoroughly moving was Blackboard Jungle. Neither of these are on the list of 135.  Number one is Ferris Buellers; Day off which is followed by Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed and Confused, Sixteen Candles, American Pie, Grease, Clueless,10 Things I Hate about You and Mean Girls. Way down the list are classics like Rebel without a Cause. Fame, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Hoosiers and Stand and Deliver. 

 

This is an A+ piece of High School movie music. That is, if you feel like dancin
