Before I go one inch further, Happy Hannukah, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y. I'm already three days late. Is the Tids losing its fastball?

I listed them all in a Tids about 15 or so years ago.
Good Grief. Around here you read story after story about people preparing themselves to jump into Icy New Years Day ocean waters. I often think about doing and then I think about sudden shocks to my heart. Th good news is that the sharks don't like the cold either.
I used to go south for a while in the winter, but I got tired of walking around Publix.
Seriously though, there is no better sense of community than people freezing together on a beach before ap olar plunge on New Year's Day. The laughs and smiles are infectious. And people care.

It bothered me when Big Government went after AT&T and it bothers me today when it goes after Google. I’m personally wary of google snagging me into its data web but I appreciate ethe inventiveness of the employees' minds which created such responsive vital giant. Politicians have always striven for hero status by playing David against a giant, but the Government is the Giant.
The worst part of jogging on New Year’s Eve is the ice falling out of your drink!
You can bet on the various fates of Luigi Mangine. The Wall Street exchange Kalshi Inc. is offering futures contracts that allow retail traders to put money on the outcome of anything. But contracts on the assassin were halted after financial regulators sent out a notice to Kalshi squashing the trade The Commodities Futures Trading Commission, te controlling regulator, say crime, assassinations terrorism and wars are against the public interest and out of bounds for so called events “Contracts”.

I'll be honest, Beyonce doesn't mean anything to me. I guess that makes me kind of obsolete
