Today's Tids Issue 5,960
A moment of silence:
I have always felt you get used to cold temperatures. That fifty degrees in October feels colder than 15 degrees in January. Bodies conform. So, let's all give a Tidster shout-out and hearty hurrah for a toasty 18 degrees this morning and get on with talking about something important.
How horrible was the stabbing death of Rob Riener and his wife. Michelle. How awful was the shooting of 11 students at Brown University. How incredulous was the killing of 16 celebrating Hanukkah on an Australian beach. Where does hatred come from. Why did humans develop so much disregard for human life. Is it impossible to stop?
I noticed yesterday that the Washington Post has a test people can take to determine if they are having a good life. People need a test for that! What happens if you think you have a great life and the test says you don't. People used to just live.
The Debver Broncos moved back atop the AFC. But I think that the team playing best in that conference now may just be Houston.
The Question:
Name the 9 colonial colleges that received charters before the Revolutionary War. Two of them and possibly a third received British Royal Charters. Name the two and the possibly 3.

The US farmers are having a tough time getting good prices for their crops, especially soybeans sold overseas. And they are caught between politics and a hard place. The government says, we’ll subsidize you. The farmers across te country are saying, we don’t want no stinking bailouts. We just want free trade, open global markets.
The top two Chain Burger restaurants are In N Out Burger and Five Guys. The big Three Wendy's McD and BK are 15,16 and 17.
My retirement plan is back in play – the Powerball is up to $1.1 Billion. That would work.
Some look at the current movement of investment money away from Techs into Value stocks as a sign of nerves on the street. Others see it as a healthy market with lots of cash looking for a better, safer home... and broader investment basis.
Instead of being a hero to college football fans, Vandy QB Diego Pavia in a matter of seconds transformed himself into the living breathing symbol of American selfishness, self-centerism when he wrote following the announcement of the Heisman, “(Unmentinable word) the Voters.” Whatever happened to sportsmanship, caring, and respecting others.
John Kennedy (R-La): "The brain) is an amazing organ. It starts working in the womb and stops when elected to Congress.” Or when receiving NIL Money.
The internet is loaded with mindless stories posing as news.
More and more people are saying they are tired of the incessant “Political Garbage.”
Paying for parking in a town shopping district is like paying for a seat license so you can buy tickets to a sports event.
We all might be way outside the bounds of the average diet as defined by Uber Eats.. The most ordered food at Uber Eats is beans. That could also mean that people who mainly eat beans never go out in public.
Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Carol King, Max Martin and a couple of others have been tapped the most prolific songwriters of late, perhaps in history. But were they really as creative as the great Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan or Richard Rogers? The generational argument continues, and the question remains – what exactly is music?
The Answer:
The Nine are Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Columbia (Kings), UPenn (Academy and College of Philadelphia), Brown, Rutgers (Queens) and Dartmouth. [Original Names in ( )]. The two which for sure received charters are Columbia and William and Mary. The third is probably UPenn.
