Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


- The video of the alleged killer of the Best Western clerk in south Fort Worth is chilling.
- The Rangers played at 10:00 a.m. yesterday. I think I'd go to a couple of games if they started at 10:00 a.m.
- I hate the "weather tease" at the first of a newscast. Just show me the 5 day forecast.
- I like Rosa's - the Mexican restaurant that's not quite fast food and not quite dining.
- I tried to watch the John Adams mini-series on HBO but I never got into it.
- I'd hate to be a teenager and have to buy gasoline. Then again, I'd hate to be a teenager. Period.
- Family members of court appointed clients are the most demanding people I deal with.
- I was in a Lowe's in Keller this weekend. It seemed significantly larger than the one in Decatur.
- KXAS's Meredith Land is kind of hot.
- The Mavs are in New Orleans (probably the last team they'll play this year.) Bourbon Street, which I've been to, looks like it would be a beating.
- For the first time every, beer and wine will be sold throughout the course at the Byron Nelson golf tournament this week. That might ruin the atmosphere of one of the greatest people watching places ever: The Pavilion.
- But said Pavilion, also for the first time ever, will be open until 10:00 p.m. Most. Drunks. Ever.
- The trial in the County Court at Law was probably won by this defense theory: Brothers that slug each other should probably handle their problems outside of the courthouse. It's not in the Penal Code but it's good law around these parts.
- A lawsuit has been filed less than 30 days after some guys from Roanoke died in Arkansas in a scaffolding accident. I don't know if the Texas Hammer or the Strong Arm are involved.
- One lawyer in Decatur, as a joke, actually has an email address that begins "wisecountyhammer@". That's funny.
- I was in a judge's office yesterday when a list was being passed around of every war that the U.S. has been involved in with beginning and ending dates. Just when, historically speaking, will the ending date of the current "war" be? Or did it actually last about three days and now is nothing more than an "occupation."?
