World View: etc!: What emergency.

Today's Tids Issue 5,884

Let me in:

It was a foggy morn.
You know the kind,

That makes you feel warm

With a gentle hug

As you rise.

Nothing cluttered

Far from forlorn.

Beyond the mist.

There are skies

Which brings the light.

To caress you,

Til dark brings night

Well, that was somewhat cliched. But a nice misty morning always has me waking comfortably, thinking of good things ahead.

I just read list of 25 movies I should see in September. None of them appealed to me. Do I still live on this planet?

The US Open Tennis is roaring. US Favorite Coco was routed by former darling of NY Naomi Ozaka. Iga is playing lights out, and on the Men’s side so are Sinner and Alcaraz. The 11 Millon Population Czech Republic has 3 of t efinal 8 women and former defector Martina Navratilova is beaming with Czech national prided. Taylor Fritz the only remaining American man is up against it now playing Djokovic. Buffalo’s own Jessica Pegula is rolling as is Amanda Anisimova, the 24-year-old from Miami who is playing great tennis now and I see the Big Apple dwellers falling in line behind her.

The lines are long for the famed cocktails at the US Open, The Honey-Deuce. It goes for $23. It is a concoction of Vodka, Lemonade, Raspberry liquor and a swizzle stick laden with frozen honeydew melon balls. Hence Honey Deuce for tennis Get it’ How clever are these NYC denizens, At $23 dollars, you could buy any number of good bottles of vodka like New Amsterdam, Svedka and Skye. Just pour it over round ice cubes for the tennis effect and drin all day long. BTW. You know vodka in its pure stage has minimal to no taste and when you add lemon, raspberry and honeydew, the quality of vodka means little.

The Putin-Xi relationship is growing stronger and will be on full display this week when NK’s Jung joins them to view a massive parade of China's growing military might. The big country has been spending a lot on building up its Navy. It now has more ships than the US, but they are way behind catching up with the superior capability of teh US fleet, mainly if state of the art technology and the number of Aircraft carriers. The US also has faster nuke powered subs with more range versus China Diesel electric submarines. But China will not stop.

You’d think that with their long years rabbits would hear flowers screaming when they began nibbling and then stop.

Phew! When I read the headline about Trumps order to make US Federal Architecture beautiful again, I thought it would demand it looks like his buildings. Thankfully it won’t. But it could stifle practical creativity.

North Carolina looked like an All-World football team for the first two series. The Belichick experiment was working, and Carolina fans were delirious. But alas the Tar Heels got trounced 45-14 as the team couldn’t complete another pas for two hours. Maybe Bill’s girlfriend will be on the bench helping him out next week. The Boston sports media Bill haters will be all over tis ne.

But mighty Lehigh U beat Richmond, so all is well in Tidsville.

You can sell anybody anything if you can make people think what you’re selling will make them special, Invited into the A crowd. Or hit a golf ball farther.

The Answer:

Obviously, a list like this is subject to a lot of opinions. So, I have a consensus among several lists. Number one is TaylorMade Qi35. Next is Ping G440 Max, Calloway Elyte, Cobra DS Adapt X and Titleist GT4. Calloway would have been higher if they knew how to spell elite. Others that may pop up are PXG O311 Black, Mizuno St-max230, Srixon ZXI LS, Wilson DYNAPWR Max, Tour Edge Exotics. ... plus, many versions of the top five brands.
