So, now what.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,628 

Music is the Answer: 

 

I think Vance won last night's debate simply because he has been painted in the media as some kind of horned devil madman and he came across as an under controlled, often cordial, intelligent regular human being. Walz was even tempered also, though he looked quite fidgety when Vance was talking. I felt we saw a Vance who is what we saw and Walz who was what his handlers want him to be.  

 

I have found it interesting lately that the large numbers of corporate layoffs are mostly in the executive wings of the company. Could it be that the employees most easily replaced by technology are teh managers.  

 

I’m listening to the Dockworkers plea for no automation on and I’m thinking of the featherbedding that sunk America's railroads in the 1920s. 

 

What’s a forklift? Food, generally. 

 

The Question: 

What was the original name that Charales Shulz gave to his great comic strip that became Peanuts? Bonus: Who was the first big celebrity to die of AIDS? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Stocks Hanging Around Zero as Investors Try to Figure Out Effects of Middle East Escalations.  

--Israel Promises Retaliations. 

--Tesla Drops as Car Deliveries for Q disappoint. 

--Israel Troops Fighting in Lebanon; 8 Dead Today.  

--Boeing Cuts Health Benefits for 33,000 Workers as Machinists Strike Continues. 

--Mexico Inaugurates First Female President. 

--Storms TD13 and Kirk Forming in Atlantic Could Threaten East US. 

 

Do you know who likes debates? Da fishes 

 

Tesla is delivering just under a half million cars a quarter. That’s decent business. But the stock valuation is based on “AITesla”. That's the Tesla of the future when the people stay home playing cornhole and the cars drive themselves. They just count quarterly car deliveries to keep them interested until that “great come and get it day" in the future. 

 

What does the world do with all the left-over Mums? That’s what I watot know. 

 

Cornhole is an addiction. It doesn't make any noise; no exciting clang like in horseshoes. But somehow it just mesmerizes people, It's like a zombie game. 

 

It’s hard to concentrate at a juice factory. 

 

It seems that Saturday Night Live has lost its way. I thought it did years ago. Sometimes you just have to be funny. 

 

This is the time of year around here for Montauk Daisies. They just seem to make the world settle down. The last exclamation point of summer. 

 

 

People of all ages and genders just seem to flow in and out of Micahel's stores. That tells me that more people that you think didn’t forget what they learned in kindergarten. And that's a good thing.  

 

The Answer: 

“Peanuts was originally Called “Lil’ Folks”.   Bonus: The first big Celebrity death from AIDS – Rock Hudson.  

 

Happy Birthday Sting. Thanks for having a good song for today’s Tids’ Finale.
