Rethinking.

 

Today's Tids Issue 6,065 

Complete disbelief: 

 

I’ve found a soft melody 

That seems to keep me cool; 

A refreshing dip in a pool. 

It's the humming of my A/C 

 

The stock markets are booming today, and it is simply because Trump says the peace talks are nearing an end. Has it ever been easier to manipulate the markets? 

 

I see where NPR is ordering new cuts as funding dwindles down. I think it's a shame, love or hate their politics, that we are losing the ability to hear explorations of parts of the world and mind and culture we rarely see ourselves.  

 

For instance, what sits at the bottom of the sea and twitches? A nervous wreck.  

 

The Question: 

Name the founders of the original 13 Colonies.  

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets as Hot as the Day After Announcement of Peace Progress; Street Waiting for NVidia Earnings; OpenAI to File for IPO. 

--Jan 6 Police Officers Sue to Block Trumps $1,776 Billion Dollar Give-Away Fund. 

--Barney Frank Dies. 

--US Indicts Raul Castro. 

--Stellantis (Jeep, Chrysler) agrees to Deal with Jaguar/Land Rover to Build Cars for US Market. 

 

Trump has been successful at the Repub primary polls replacing congress people who disagree with him or criticize him. But the real question is, will it improve his chances with independents in the general election?  

 

The IRS settlement which allowed Trump to end his $10 Bill Lawsuit assures that Trump, his Family and his companies will never be audited again. Why do you think he would want a clause like that? 

 

San Antonio’s NBA team has benefitted mightily with great lottery draft picks, starting with David Ribinson through Tim Duncan to now Wemby, Victor Wembanyama. He was truly amazing teh other night in a comeback victory over the favored to repeat Oklahoma Thunder. He's a Bill Russell who can score. He will make the players around him better just as David and Tim did.  

 

Did you hear about the actor who fell through the floorboards? He was just going through a stage. 

 

A skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop. Get it?  

 

A man walks into a tavern and stops to stare at a horse tending bar. A guy says to him, “What’s the matter, you never seen a horse tending bar?” The man looks at the guy and says, “No, I just thought my parrot would never sell it.

Some hot days I tend to resist turning on the A/C, waiting for the crross ventilation of local breezes. Some days my plan doesn’t work. 

 

The Answer: 

Massachusetts – John Winthrop, New Hampshire – John Mason, Conn – Thomas Hooker, Rhode Island – Roger Williams, NY – Peter Stuyvasant), NJ – Lord Berkely and George Carteret, Penn – William Penn, Delaware – Swedes and Finns with a little help from Penn, Virginia – Virginia Company (John Smith). Maryland – Lord Baltimore (Cecillus Calvert, J Georgia – James Oglethorpe. North and South Carolina were Chartered by King Charles II to 8 English Noblemen, Duch ( 

 

Have a delightful starry night. Maybe a wish will come true.
