Today's Tids Issue 5,984
Say what:
I spent a lot of time, money and effort childproofing my house … but the kids still get in.
These gigantic multi vehicle crashes generally mean too many people are driving too fast too close together. Nascar drivers couldn't even do it safely in the blizzards.
The stock market should be normalizing about now, getting readings of strength or weakness from Q4 results, pondering projections of the economic world ahead. Davos would be a good starting point for substantive global analyses, except it appears emotions will override logic and facts. So, it is possible we will know nothing except the extent of unknowns in a world now devoid of normal.
The Question:
Name the US Presidents who have served 3 or more terms.
The Headlines:
--Markets A mess Early over Renewed Trade War Vibrations.; US Treasuries Slide, Global Bond Markets Off after Japan Sells Off Bonds; Riskier Stocks to take Hit as Global Economic Turmoil Rises.
--Bessent Urges Calm in Greenland-Tariff Dispute.
--European Commission Leader Ursula Von Der Leyen says EU’s response to Trump Threats will be, “Unflinching, United and Proportional”.
--Netflix Turns to All Cash Offer in New Quest to take Warner Brother's.
--The Hoosiers Win it All; USA Football Fans Cheer the Turnaround.
Word is out that Lane Kiffin is ready to move to Indiana U job.
I read a headline this morning -- “Davos open as Nations wrestle over control of Greenland” Over Control of Greenland? Nobody other than Denmark or Greenlanders has a right to control the big icy island. Why would it be a controversy?
Did you hear the one about a cat that ate a ball of yarn and had mittens?
Will the Indiana Turnaround be an inspiration to the NE Patriots as they go into Denver?
Trust is the word that will make America great again.
I’m basally just biding time to 3:00 Sunday when the Pats play the Broncs. To me, there is too much talk around here about the new advantage for the Pats now that Nix is out for Denver. I don't like that kind of talk. We still have to play a flawless game in the mile high atmosphere against a very well coached team.
I like to start my day to the calming vacuum of non-corrosive music.
I like to watch the sun rise southeast of here and remember the places in which I used to roam.
I like the full moon at night reflecting yon upon Sakonnet waters.
Well, enough of mind wandering away from the morning Tids. You can see I'm trying to get away from the nonsense on the world stages. I like common sense and I'm not seeing any.
The snow-covered trees were at their most magnificent yesterday, and they ain’t so bad this morning either.
I just learned that my long-time dentist and a delightfully kind woman died too young at 70. She would thoroughly appreciate the beauty of this snow-covered world.
Catching up with coaching Hires: John Harbaugh, Giants; Kevin Stefanski, Falcons; Jeff Hafley, Dolphins; Robert Saleh, Titans. Steelers, Raiders, Browns, Bills, Cardinals, Ravens still in the Hunt. Successful coaches Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin still available. Interestingly, those two both played college football together at William and Mary U.
Netflix is bringing back the scary movie “Christien.” You know, the one about the car that got its own revenge. Now with AI, autos reacting on their own doesn't seem so unbelievable.
The Answer:
Franklyn Roosevelt is the only President to have served 3 terms or more. Let’s show he is the last one to do it.
How many egomaniacs does it take to screw in a light bulb? One. The egomaniac holds the light bulb while the world revolves around him.
My morning musing makes me think of a song that begins, “There's a bight golden haze on the meadow”:
