Today's Tids Issue 5870
Gently into today:
Do you realize that a lot of information guiding decisions that affect people is misguided data that achieves perceived creditability through repetition and nothing else
I have to believe that there is nothing more calming than standing on a green Irish hillside amidst stonewalls leading down to the sea; with sheep nestled together under a misty Celtic sky. And of course, the smiles of the people, the warm smiles of the people.
Unless of course you are Italian or Swedish or Swiss or Greek or Peruvian and have other thoughts about peacefulness.
I was severely reprimanded by a reader this morning for failing to include in my list of the greatest deadpan comedians -- the greatest deadpan of all, Jack Benny. He invented deadpan and he made me laugh every time. Rochester.
Most of the people who comment on the state of our economy either dislike Trump and want him to fail, or are sycophant supporters of agenda.

A friend of mine has had Baltimore Orioles fluttering into her back yard, They are am beautiful birds.
Criminals in DC are like the Taliban who just go into hiding when outside forces come to Afghan to liberate the masses. When the outside forces leave, Taliban emerges from the cave and bushes to take charge again. The opinion of law people who observe DC say the criminals will just wait out the presence of the National Gard..

One of the best weapons for Boer hunting is the AK 47 or AR 15. The AK is a little more powerful. Though perhaps the larger caliber Winchester 308 is probably better because it a has more stropping power. See, angry boars are really, really dangerous and relentless; they keep charging even when shot. So the idea of large magazine AK’s and AR’s is that you can keep on shooting rapidly until it is safe. Messy though. The other point here is that anti gun people say you don't need AK’s or ARs for hunting so ban them. While we are on anti-gun myths, the AR doesn’t stand for Assault Rifle as the Anti's like to shout. It stands for Armalite Rifle.
Yes, in these days of bitter extremist arguments that's why we need knowledge's people in the middle to deliver the facts.
“But truly, women are amazing. Think about it this way: a woman can grow a baby inside her body. Then a woman can deliver the baby through her body. Then, by some miracle, a woman can feed a baby with her body. When you compare that to the male’s contribution to life, it’s kind of embarrassing, really.” --Jim Gaffigan
Today was a coolish foggy day and it was beautiful.
No matter who they put in charge to report labor department statistics, the best measure will always be the consumer especially now when they feel the cost crunch that government stats don't seem to see.
There is a lot of positive energy surrounding the stock market, But in August the rallying cry should always be tempered to, Wait for September.
At Tom Brady's statue unveiling last Friday Kraft said he is the greatest NFL player of all time. Me, an avid Pat's fan finds that hard to swallow considering all of the greats that have trod the green, green grass of s Sundays. Jim Brown comes to mind. There have been 26,000+ Players who have given their bodies the NFL since its beginning. To say jist one single one of them is best ever is hyperbole at its worst... even when it isa hero of mine.
Reckless behavior in the stock market is not good for America, And I'm seeing inklings of that rising on the street.
“No matter how you feel about your extended family or family gatherings you will be attending. This is because now the ultimate reason for attending family gatherings is for your children to have the time of their lives with their cousins. Little kids love their cousins. I’m not being cute or exaggerating here. Cousins are like celebrities for little kids. If little kids had a People magazine, cousins would be on the cover. Cousins are the barometers of how fun a family get-together will be. 'Are the cousins going to be there? Fun!” --Jim Gaffigan
The Answer:
The New England Pats are considered #1 all time. Next is the Pittsburgh Steelers followed by San Fran, Green Bay, Cowboys, Eagles, Baltimore (Ravens --_Baltomore Colts are part of Indy Colts #19 Ranking) KC Chiefs, Miami and #10 Buffalo. I personally have doubts about this list as the last, #32, are thc Cleveland Browns who I consider as one of the classic, competitive franchises of the ages. A team which produced a lot of heroes and excitement. And how about tose great Oakland raider teams?
As Jim Gaffigan might say, the person who convinced the masses to eat and like Kale is the greatest promotor of all time. Whoops... GOAT... there I go again.
There’s enough rancor in the air. How about a nice love scene from the movies.
