A glorious road

 


Today's Tids Issue 6,077 

 Don't look back:

 

Well, wadda snafu yesterday. It must have been the heat because for the first time in six thousand seventy-seven issues my Word said “Uncle” and deleted the completely finished Tids. And whisked away words of wisdom to a very dark place where there aren’t apparently any magical clouds. As Stephen King might have said, The Dead Zone. I think there were things worth reading in it too. Yes, it was indeed Truncated Tids Thursday.  And a terrible tragedy. 

 

So now finally to Fantastic Friday. My plan yesterday was to be nice. I think lots of people will agree that what politics was, isn't today. The endless harrang is wearing on the minds of people. Some pretty smart people are tired of all the biased opinons and spinning of facts into fairy tales. And the fact that groups of the population are willing to justify untruths, or at least not question them.  

 

There are so many rhymes 

For the month of June. 

You’s think I’d sit down 

To write a mooning poem. 

But I prefer my lyrical room.  

In the peacefulness of home. 

 

My jeans told me to stop eating pizza. Or, was that Cheetos and Potato Chips.  

 

The Question: 

Sylvan Goldman invented something we all use quite regularly. What was it? 

 

The Headlines: 

--May Jobs Report Blows by Expectations but Markets Go to Severe Red as Fears of Rate Hikes Emerge; Rate Fears has Techs and Nasdaq in eep Dumpster; Dow, S&P Strongly Negative.  

--Zelenski Calls for Face to Face Meeting with Putin. 

--New Data Shows Bot Web Traffic Overcoming Human Web Traffic 

--All Mentions of DT Trump to ne Removed from Kennedy Center.  

--Scandals Surrounding Dem Maine Campaign ere Deepen; Possibility of Unseating Susan Collins Fading. 

 

Anthropic said this morning that we should slow down AI development because they thinAI’s ability to create for its own good is progressing faster then previously expected. But then a group of smart people reminded me that Anthropic is the leader of the technology and they want to slow down their competitors.  

 

All the Bigs on the women's side of the French Open have been knocked out – Gauff, Swiatec, Sabelanka and Rybakina. Some are saying the extreme heat is the problem. Yean, like yesterday’s missing Tids. I’ve been icing down my laptop. 

 

If I remembered what I wrote Yesterday, today would be easier. 

 

Birthdays must be good for you. It seems that those who have the most, live longest. 

 

I had a great clerk in the Deli department of my big Supermarket. It's amazing what laughter and smiles can do for the image of a business.  

 

Good news! The economy is great... unles you have your savings in stocks. 

 

I'm rooting for San Antonio but in game one a guy I have liked since his college days, Jalen Brunson, put the Knicks on his back and brought them home on the Spurs Floor. Brunson knows how to win, The Statisticians seem to have missed that ingredient in their formulars.  

 

That headline above: Bots passings humans in internet activity should intensify warnings about opening mysterious emails especially if it sounds good.  

 

Are you unhappy? Are you alone? Fear not, the light is always on for you in the fridge. 

 

If I was swimming underwater and I saw an octopus slipping towards me I wouldn’t think it was cute like the one in the Netflix documentary. In fact, Id think it was smarter than me and I'm going to die.  

 

Speaking of infrastructure issues, space satellites are getting really old. They are still made by man and use earth materials. So, Im a little worried about the astronauts who have been ordered to their Dragon capsule so a rapidly growing leak in the Station connecting tube can be repaired. Let's hope they do better than pothole fillers around here. 

 

The Stanley Cup playoffs will be good hockey. But there ls something about Carolina and Las Vegas being the unlikely locations for the ice hockey championship. I have an old Hartford Whalers cap so I may wear it this week to honor the Carolina Hurricanes who were first the Whalers.  

 

The Answer:  

Sylvan had good grocery business, but he knew it would get better if he put wheels on handheld shopping baskets. He invented the Shopping Cart June 4, 1937 

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!! 

It's always a good Friday when you can end it with Neil Diamond.
