We are the people.

 


 

Today's Tids Issue  5,992 

No matter the distance: 

 

Politicians need the people to take sides to justify their existence. If all people found a way towards collaboration, the country woudl indeed be as great as it was.  

 

Even if it is 4 degrees outside, your dog still demands being taken for a walk. What kind of friend is that? 

 

The burn rates of tech cash is at the highest in history. That is not the kind of historical achievement the financial world is looking for. And some smart gurus are concerned. Where there’s fire, there is smokiness that clouds the future. 

 

A reader wonders aloud: When young I swallowed a roll of polaroid film. The Dr said drink plenty of water and call me if anything develops. 

 

The Question: 

Carl Taylor was a significant contributor to the American quality of life. Who was he? Bonus: Who were the first five players inducted ito the Baseball Hall of Fame.  

 

The Headlines: 

--Market reacts to Three Big Earnings Reports Yesterday After Closing. Market Likes what Tsela and Meta are Doing and Doesn’t Understand what Microsoft is Doing. MSFT Got Beaten Up Losin 6%; Apple and Amazon Report Today. 

--Just in: Apple Smashed Top and Bottom Lines and has historic iPhone Sales Q.

--Global Observers Report that Russia has Lost 2 Million Soldiers in Ukraine War; It is the Most by any Country since WWII.  

 

I'm have trouble thinking. 

Yes, this tids is sinking. 

When it begns to drone, 

It can be fixed, 

With a nonsense poem. 

 

Ok, I should be better now. That is, if there is something to write about that isn't Trump,  

 

Gobbiligooking is what politicians do when they get caught looking stupid and what companies do when they can't explain their future plans. Yesterday Microsoft got punished by the Street for gobbiligooking. 

 

Bill Belichick could have been a lovable curmudgeon if he was funny. 

 

 Small son sitting on Daddy’s lap: “I’m still confused. Was I born in a nest or a hive?” 

 

Did you know that it takes fifty licks to finish a one scoop ice cream cone. 

 

So, where is the other multi thousands of Epstein docs. The short  attention span media corps ran to another fire because fires get readers and viewers. The DoJ still missed the deadline and supposedly the docs could still be news. Personally, I'm tired of the discussion, but it just is classic example on how media can be diverted. If somebody ever wanted to do that. 

 

Tesla owners must be happy to know that Tesla isn't a car company anymore. Not to worry though. They will make parts... that is after they build enough robots to make the parts.  

 

Bill Polian was a sneaky little guy during his time as GM/Prez with the Indy Colts. He would often run to the commish to call for an NFL rule change to blunt an innovative idea by Belichick. You know like that kid in school you never liked who was always snitching to the teacher. He is an official NFL HoF voting member. So the rush to judgment crowd said, Aha he is the reason Bill was left off. But, it pays to know the facts before running wild with a bogus story... which by the way, I was about to do until I looked further. Polian voted for Bill Belichick according to a HoF vote auditor.  

 

The Answer: 

In 1924, Carl Rutherford Taylor of Cleveland invented the first Ice Cream Cone rolling machine. He is often confused with Charles taylor of Buffalo who earlier had invented the machine that became the soft ice cream machine. Which, by the way, is a delicacy I often have a hankering for. Bonus: The first five were The Babe, Ty, Honus, Christy and Walter “Big Train”. You only have to know the first names of that quintet. The Next group was in my birth year andtye were Morgan Bulkeley, Ban Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Connie Mack, Joh McGraw, Tris Speaker, George Wright and the immortal Cy Young. In case you are interested Morgan Buckeley was the first President the National League in 1878 and was one of those established teh leagues structure and reputation. He was the Mayor of Hartford Ct where he owned a ball team. He also was a Connecticut Governor and US Senator. 

 

Did you know that a Kentucky law prohibits carrying an ice cream cone in your back pocket. So, be careful at he Derby. Mint Julip Ice Cream can make you do odd things, 

 

Is there anything better than ice cream? Well maybe romance and dancing in the clouds. There are bonds that never end.
