Today's Tids Issue 5,626
Cooler Heads:
It’s one of those days
To appreciate the sun.
How flowers awaken,
After evening’s cool.
This special morn
Means something to me.
But there is no reason
That I can see.
It’s just there.
And it feels good.
All the college football leagues are trying to out-enlarge each other; literally promoting kidnapping to grow. Money is pouring into freewheeling NIL collectives. But the fact remains that there are only X number of high school superstars available each year. And some teams will win, and some teams will come in last. Just like always -- although the conferences will be bigger.
The net effect of the Kamala $25K giveaway housing plan is that the cost of housing will go up.
The Question:
There has never been a report of a person seriously injuring themselves by lifting a donut in a coffee shop. But every year a lot of people are seriously injured in gyms. How many do you think it was in 2023?
The Headlines:
--Markets Open Iffy even as WS Tries to end Q3 on Positive Norte; Markets Rebound from Chasm in PM.
--Over115 dead So Far, Millions without Power as Floridians look to Long Cleanup
--Israel Tells US It will begin Limited Ground Incursion into Lebanon; Middle East Observers Say Iran will Not retaliate in Open Warfare; However, Moher Nation Expected to Reload Proxies.
--Singer, Songwriter, Actor Kris Kristofferson Dies at 88.
If you a die in the same hospital in which you were born, than you went from Maternity ward to Eternity ward.
When I was a young lad today's more poetic sounding ospreys were scavenger Fish Hawks. And proteins were called meat.
I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car. --SW
Actually, I had a lot of friends who were clowns, and we couldn’t afford more than one car.
Just in case you missed something along the way. Government spending begets inflation.
A great football coach will still use his brain instead of doing everything by the statistician's book. Experience begets good hunches.
The NE Pats drafted a QB at number 3 last spring. Washington, Chicago and Denver aal so picked QBs just before and just after NE. Those QBs all start, and their three teams are 3-1, 2-2, 2-2 and teh Pats are1-3. And remember two of those teams were worse than teh Pats last year. As one reader often says, “Just sayin’ ”.
I probably spend too much on Sports. There are two reasons. One, I like sports. 2. Sports is becoming dominant in the country. TV networks love the consistently high ratings. Streamers need everything they can find to fill up all the slots and sports does it mainly without writers and expensiveset designs. And sports millionaires provide all kinds of oddball storylines even more courageous than millionaire celeb’s oddball antics. Actually, there is a third reason: Even at its most nonsensical, it still makes more sense than politics.
The Answer:
In 2023 there were 482,886 injuries due to exercise and exercise equipment. 276,377 were male and 206,282 females. The body parts most injured were Shoulder, Knee, and wrist. There is always a surge in January as people, many more beginners, try to achieve New Years weight loss resolutions. 43K face critical or terminal injuries. Eat donuts! (Note: Exercise equipment can have1,000,000 germs/sq in. A toilet seat is only 3,200 bacteria/sq in? Go to a donut shop but don’t use the bathroom.)
See you some day at the big roadhouse in the sky, Kris. You didn't have the best voice ever, but I never got tired of listening to your songs,
