Bumpy ride.

 

 

Today's Tids Issue 5,920 

Three's a crowd: 

 

Do you get the feeling that the world has become one gigantic stalemate, and we are all waiting for it to break wide open one way or another. 

 

The Unknown Baker: John Dough. 

 

Ok... now they’ve gone too far. News has broken saying taht developers are going to turn the venerable Cape Cod Country Club into a Solar Farm. What an inefficient use of sacred land. 

 

The Question: 

What did the camel say when he met his friend in the Sahara? Bonus: Why do Camels Blend in so well with their surroundings? Extra Bonus:  What's the difference between King Arthur and Cleopatra? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Netflix Misses and Stock Plummets; Nasdaq Wavering Ahead of Key Mag Seven Reports Including Tesla Today after Bell; Gold Suffers biggest One Day Drop in a Decade! Dow Up as Blue Chips Come in Strong.

In case you are interested, the 5 top chain supermarket bakeries according to somebody are Costco, Acme (Div of Albertsons), Sams Club, Whole Foods and Wegmans. How do they know? 

  

My reading of analyses seems to say that if the world is in harmony owning gold as an investment sucks.  

 

If you don't think that Sports rules in America, consider that last night the NBA kicked it off its tenure with NBC, and the network allowed them to preempt the Nightly News. That is annoying. Almost as annoying as college football game’s obliteration all news on Saturdays, except for tedious cable news reports. BTW, last night with the NBA interruption we tuned in to the two stiffs on CNS news. They will never be Huntly and Brinkley. Actually, a dual news team might work if they had personalities.  

 

But then, I guess I'm a creature of habit.  

 

Netflix earnings disappointed the street yesterday. Netflix seems to be an expensive kind of company to un, always having to continually run full speed ahead to fill the insatiable entertainment hunger of viewers. The viewing audiences consume and s discard and come back for more. And often teh y discard way too early. Personally, I think it good become a management quagmire. They have made a promise to fill screens and the cost of doing are not getting cheaper. Unless of course AI writes the scripts and uses AI graphics to create acting humanoids. Which very well could be the future. 

 

But then, I guess I'm kind of a contrarian consumer. 

 

In case you didn’t remember, with all the broadcast mania these days, it’s easy to overlook the fact that the most active hurricane decade in USA history was the 1940’s. I remember riding my bike delivering newspapers during a Hurricane rainstorm. They didn’t put me on TV. I guess they would have if I rode over a live wire.  

 

But then, I guess I wasn't the most cautious kid growing up.  

 

The Ziva/Tony show seems to be rolling along with the first season finale set for tomorrow night. I might have enjoyed it, but I’m not buying Paramount+. Mayb eit will show up on Netflix someday. 

 

A rhinoceros is just a chubby, armored unicorn. 

 

My latest sweaty nightmare is that my high-flying NE Patriots becomes the NY Jets first win. Aaaaaaarrrgh! 

 

Often Microsoft grammar makes me change things into something that to me looks just plain wrong. But then, grammar and spelling have never been been won of my strong points.  

 

I always thought Congress was important. But then, I may have been daydreaming in civics class.  

 

The Answer: 

What did the camel say when he met his friend in the Sahara? “Long time, no sea.” Bonus: Why do Camels Blend in so well with their surroundings? They use Camelflage. Extra Bonus: What's the difference between King Arthur and Cleopatra? One has Camelot and the other has a lot of camels.  

 

 

What do you call a camel that cries? A humpback wail. 

 

Time to go, right? Happy Hump Day E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
