Relevancy.

 

Today's Tids Issue 5,902 

Other side of the Mirror: 

 

The folks are always happy when the sun comes out after a few days of constant hard rain, but I suspect the flowers are even happier when the sun begins warming their soggy roots.  

 

One thing for sure, the Trumpster will never have soggy roots as he wakes each day with a new pronouncement of some kind.  

 

Ikea has always been an imaginative contributor to the US  decorative landscape. And at very affordable prices. The new Tariffs on furniture could change that, and also the business plans of a lot of other giant furniture store chains. Good thig my furnishings buying days are over. 

 

Did you hear about the crustacean accused of promoting his own shellfish interests?  

 

The Question: 

Who were voted Best Teen Celebrities from the 1980’s? 

 

The Headlines:

--Dozens Walk Out of UN As Netanyahu Takes Stage to Speak. 

--Furniture Sellers Wayfair and RH Stocks Fall as Trump Calls for Higher Tariffs of Imported Furniture.

Yesterday the subject for the email Tids was “Misperception”. Spell check didn't recognize it as a word but all the real dictionaries did. I wrote that because I am aware that people look at the same thing many different ways -- from extreme political devotion to distanced cold analysis.  

 

The big College football game weekend seems to be old foes Alabama and Georgia. Both so far have been unremarkable relevant to their reputations. I think Indiana and Iowa will be a good one too. Around here we will be looking at very good highly ranked FCS team Rhode Island against typically strong FBS Western Michigan. 

 

BTW, when I say best game of the week, I mean the games most likely to enjoy national interest. I realize that every game is great in the hearts of student bodies and alums of individual colleges. My tean Lehigh U plays UPenn today and that lately has become a much-anticipated game between two where the first game was in 1883.  

 

Around here... this Morning, Breeze Airlines announced “a new pilot program to Cancun”. You always worry about new pilots.  

 

Wasn’t yesterday last Friday? Yikes – time is passing much too fast. I may have missed my window to play in the NFL. 

 

I gotta hope that the Supreme Court stops the DoJ’s campaign to force the revelation of state's voter registrations the Fed Gov. No good conservative wants prying federal eyes. 

 

A Danish science project of note has found that Musicians don't feel pain. Zowie. Arthritis creeping in, take piano lessons.  

 

A lot of my good sources for Tids entertainment and info are making me jump through hoops to get what I used to get easily. That includes spending money or giving away my most prized personal data.  

 

There are too many finite measurements that are not relevant to reality.  

 

The regular season baseball games end this Sunday. And there are still 15 teams with hopes for payoffs as we enter the final three games after six months of action. Oddly the biggest series of the weekend is between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. It will not only affect the two teams playing but also Houston and to a degree Cleveland. I'll be glued in-between glances at the Ryder Cup and New England Pats.  

 

Do you realize with executive orders it is just one person telling us what to do. Doesn’t it seem to you that there is something wrong with that? 

 

The Answer: 

NumberOne was Michael J. Fox. He is Followed by Molly Ringwald, Keanu Reeves, Emilio Esteves, Kevin Bacon, Johnny Depp, Rob Lowe, Matthew Broderick, Anthony Michael Hall, and at #10, Christ8ian Slater. Continuing we have John Cusack, Elizabeth Shue and River Phoenix. Demi Moore and Ali Sheedy were only 28 and 29. Tom Cruise and Charlie Sheen were only 33 and 34.  

 

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
