Sky blue calm

 


Today's Tids Issue 6,175 

An elephant's eye: 

 

Well it;s Friday morning and it's starting out quite well in this little corner of the sky; to paraphrase the thoughts of yesterday’s closing song. Why ruin it discussing the salaciousness of the flailing politcial morass.  

 

I may have mentioned to you all that I have a nice looking stone wall roaming through the woods behind me This morn it seemed to take on the orange hue of the trees around it. I could feel the tension dissolving.  

 

Of course, I do still experience daily real tension no matter how well I rationalize away world events, will I do well at wordle and how many of my family will I beat. 

 

What do you call a magician who lost his magic?  Ian. 

 

The Question: 

Today two so-called small market teams will face each other in the World Series. Where do you think they rank in total salary among the 30 Major League Teams? 

 

The Headlines: 

--AI Trade worreis Sinking all Three Major Markets; Dow Down Over 700 Mid Morning, 600’s Early PM; Meta Getting Crushed Early;  

--Ukraine says StarlinkRestrictions Remain, 

--SC Sides with Repubs in NH Student ID Voting Rights Fight.  

--Palestinians Open Fire in West Bank Killing two Israel Soldieers.  

--DoJ Files Suit to Block Certification of Alaska Election if GOP Loses.  

 

 

They are calling the WS a nightmare for TV execs. It is only a nightmare because the Execs sell glitz over substance, Is there anything more beautiful than watching intrinsic pure artistry of great baseball. That a flurry of singles and daring baserunning is infinaitely more exciting than a home run from a super star. Do you realize that a mammoth 450 foot homer is but an easy wedge for a good golfer.  

 

The fires seem to have gone out in France, That sounds like the title of a good song. But, I digress.  Maybe NFL Commish Rogert Goodell got to them, set upand NFL education fund. There is a game in Paris Sunday, and nobody messes with the NFL.  In case nobody has noticed,  the NFL rules.  

 

Do you know any jokes about sodium? Na 

 

I hear that SpaceX is on the cusp of buying 80,000 cell towers which would make them very competitive with Varizon, AT&T and T-Mabile. If it's in the air Space X wants it.  

 

Did you notice that for a smidge in time this morning, Apple was the wealthiest company of them all, passing NVidia. Apple, it just keeps on pushing forward and day to day it is not trapped into AI investment's. Perhaps it is just poised to take advantage of those who are.  

 

What’s the difference between black-eyed peas and chickpeas?  Black Eyed Peas can sing us a song. Chickpeas can hummus one. 

 

DoJ Chief Blanche Says that there are hyphypotheticals where the DoJ could block certification of elections in states. Now that is thinking counter to what is in the minds of average voters. You know those who believe in the sanctity of the America vote. But he says he is only talking doomsday scenarios. The problem is, who is defining Doomsday,  

 

And on a parallel note, it was just announced that the same DoJ filed a suit that would block certification of the Alaska election if GOP candidate Sullivan loses. Is thatt scary or what/ Is that “doomsday” for America?   

 

In this corner of the gridiron, the Interest Gage in College football is quite low for this weeekend. I can see Indiana-Michigan and UCLA-Michigan State being of interest to me. Iowa and Minn is a good Rivalry Game. Two popular teams nationally Notre Dame and Ohio State aren’t playing. The current number One BYU who I enjoy watching, is playing a lackluster Florida Central. So?  

 

Silly me, I always thought the strength of America was in the power of the people’s vote and not in the hands of the White House litigous lawyers..  

 

Why would a pig dressed in black never get bullied?  Because Batman has sworn to protect Goth-ham. 

 

The mention of major Israeli/US Attack on Iran following the Election had the big defense contractor stocks soaring yesterday. With the current AI scramble going on, the weaponization of your money could be the answer, at least for a month. 

 

What happened to the delightful sun-drenched Friday morning? The reality of desperation politics got in the way.  

 

 

The Answer: 

The NY Mets have the highest Salary and they went nowhere. Cleveland has the lowest and they were in the American League finals, Milwaukee is 19/30 and Tampa Bay 26/30 in teh rankings. It appears that instead of overpaying for players they should be investing in good management. The Mets total salary ;s 2.38 times higher than the combined salaries of the two teams in the AL Championship Series -- TB and Cleveland. 

 

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