Strive.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,642 

Feel the Need: 

 

Ugh. I should start the Tids earlier before the stock market really sucks like it are now. The Tids would be happier. I like happiness. 

 

One of the great joys around now finding the candy corn now often buried behind big candy maker's promotional displays. Candy corn is the essence of the season. 

 

There will be solutions to all those bickering political issues that get all the news. The economy will go up and down. But when asked about the state of America in a questionnaire I always say on the wrong track. It's not about the economy or abortion or the identity crisis. Its because somehow this society of ours has lowered the standards normally a hallmark of a great nation. Enabling has replaced demand. We are experiencing in the USA a responsibility deficiency, a rudeness proliferation. Nothing else matters if we can’t stop that. 

 

The Question: 

The Wall Street Journal Just Published the 25 Best Colleges. Itis based on Graduate Outcome. In other words, ROI. Name the top twenty. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Nasdaq drops through the Floor, Dow down Seriously; Existing Home Sales hit 14 Year low; Tesla Report Due and will Be Meaningful Going Froward. 

--McDonald’s Facing eColi Problem; President of Mac Says Food Is safe; Many Stores Have removed Beef Patties and Slivered Onions form Menu. 

--Blinken Forced to Take Cover as Tel Aviv Comes under Air Attack.  

--Amazon Adds Gas Discounts for Prime Members; Expect to do the Samefor EV Charging. 

--US Confirms that North Korea has sent Troops to Russia; Expected to Join Moscow Effort in Ukraine; Austin Says It Will Impact Indo-Pacific Defense.  

--Ohtani 50-50 Baseball Sells for $4.4 Million.  

 

 

I don’t eat bagged lettuce because of diseases possibilities. More reports about serious diseases from vegetables over meat   has always fed the sarcasm of my Tidlets. But now we have the true test. McDonald is saying that the eColi surge is due either to beef patties or slivered onions. Meat or veggie.  

 

Guiliani looks like he may lose everything for being an idiot in his  personal accusations of other human beings. This could be one of the great lessons contributing to a better Amerca, that is, if anybody listens to it. Which, from what I have seen, is unlikely. 

 

I remember after reading Den of Thieves that I thought Rudy was some kind of cool hero. Somehow, he forgot humility along the way.  

 

Rory was going on and on telling Alice about the amazing Northern lights he saw. A case of a Rory boring Alice. (I think the TPL has lost it.) 

 

 

It will be worth watching the World Series just to watch Shohei Ohtani. He is one of those one-of-a-kinder's! Unfortunately, to see him, I'll have to abide watching the Ya- Ya, Ya... well you know who I mean, those damn Pinstripers. Actually, I vowed as a kid of 20 never to ever root for the Dodgers again after OMalley broke the hearts of Brooklyn fans. Brooklyn fans never forget. 

 

 

I don’t really know what the best thing about Switzerland is, but their flag is a big plus. (From a favorite Pun contributor.) 

 

 

People with more money than they will ever need buy overpriced souvenir baseballs.  

 

 

Cities and towns continue to allow hack builders to mar landscapes with crap architecture. 

 

 

The most disappointing NFL teams so far seem to be San Fran, Cleveland and Jax. Cleveland and  San Fram face even bigger problems now after new key injuries and no replacements Las Vegas may also be considered a disappointment, but perhaps last year's season ending rush to victories was windfall. 

 

 

In the seventies the networks got together to determine of there was bias in their reporting. In a huge well-defined survey, they asked people for their political leanings and their views on bias in reporting. These claiming middle of the road politically thought it was balanced. The liberals thought it was too Conservative and te Conservatives thought it was too liberal. On the other hand, the cable news networks of the ast 20 years wear their bias as a badge of honor. 

 

 

The Answer: 

Number One is Princeton followed by Babson, Stanford, Yale, Clermont-McKenna, MIT, Harvard, Cal Berkley, Georgia Tech, Davidson, Bentley, UCal Davis, UPenn, Columbia, Lehigh University, San Jose State, Notre Dame, UCal Merced. Virginia Tech, Harvy Mudd, Cal Poly, Michigan, Loyola Md, Cal State and #25, Colgate. 

 

 

Hope your day was excellent and you had a new adventure. Maybe this music will help Americans look up instead of sideways:
