Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

  • Got an email that said power had been out in north part of the county since shortly after midnight.
  • When reviewing a criminal file the other day at the prosecutor's office, I came across a statement written by a Wise County high school student which began with the proclamation that he was an "A and B" student. His handwritten account to investigators included the words "apone", "scard", "amedetly", and "marriagal" and many, many other gems.
  • A lot of my job involves explaining the same thing over and over but to people who are hearing it for the first time.
  • I've never heard of Belk's but one is opening in north Fort Worth.
  • That Best Buy in the same north Fort Worth shopping center never seems very busy.
  • Had to get out my Makita drill last night. I love firing up the Makita drill.
  • The new TV I bought doesn't have a standard headphone jack that I always use when I jog. I think I'm going to have to hook up a stereo receiver to it and use the headphone jack on it. Beating.
  • Feel good story of the year, "A man stole more than 130 panties from a Victoria's Secret store on Monday afternoon in Dallas, authorities said . . . . A female accomplice held the door open as they both jumped into a green Ford F-150, the report states."
  • One more link: It involves DWI, Decatur (not ours), a guy painted in silver, Halloween, and a mugshot.
  • The hot vixen from Footloose turns 51 today.
  • Calling someone a "vixen" is always fun. It's a compliment yet a complicated one.
  • There were reports yesterday that Obama had begun receiving "sensitive" and "secret" information from U.S. officials in anticipation of his presidency. I've always wondered about that.
  • Routinely, whenever a new administration from a different political party takes over the executive office, every single U.S. Attorney is replaced. If Obama would like to "change" the approach on the War on Drugs, I'm officially throwing in my name for consideration for U.S. Attorney for the Northern District Of Texas. Call me. We'll talk.
  • Decatur beating Bridgeport on Friday would be the equivalent of Baylor beating Tech.
  • All that campaigning had to be hard on McCain. If I'm him, I retire from the Senate and enjoy life.
  • When I read about someone dying at a relatively young age, it immediately makes me want to to plan a trip.

Buy a complete system with boom-boom sub-woofers and blow it out while you jog.

Decatur beating Bridgeport is more like Decatur beating Tech. I think Baylor would have a much better shot at winning than Decatur does...and I am an Eagle fan.

Lord help us if they call you to talk about a federal position.

As usual, we get some interesting information AFTER the election. Seems beauty queen Palin has future plans. With that pretty face and nice body and the exposure she's had, she'll certainly have an edge.

And we all thought Hillary Clinton was politically ambitious. Goody mom Palin would probably sell her family for a shot at the Presidency.

Bet McCain is glad to get rid of her.

Stay tuned.

Barry, you might want to think about leaving your TV at the house when you go jog...that could be dangerous carrying your TV while running just so you can keep up on the daily news! Try an Ipod, they are much smaller!

"The new TV I bought doesn't have a standard headphone jack that I always use when I jog."
You shouldn't watch TV while jogging, dude. But toting that new set around should build up those little girly arms nicely

"When I read about someone dying at a relatively young age, it immediately makes me want to plan a trip."
It immediately makes me want to yell "Scoreboard!", but then I remember that Karma is a b**ch

"A man stole more than 130 panties from a Victoria's Secret store..."
from the comments after the story:
"...petty pervert pilfers panties possibly for profit and predictable police pursuit"
Priceless

Belks is already open...but don't tell anyone. It is nice having all of those stores to myself when I need something.

What do we have to do to have Texas succeed from the Union?

Those comments re a certain kid's poor spelling are embarassing/revealing unless he is a "special needs" kid.
Shows we have some work to do.....and we do.

And Baylor too, as in "If I'm him," instead of "If I were him."
Don't think special needs kids get thru Baylor Law!

Just teasing Barry.

I'm old and in spite of a MA in English.......my cohorts spend a great deal of time correcting my grammar and my speech. Actually I am impressed with your bravery in revealing your random thoughts. Most men wouldn't.

It's SECEDE! Last time we tried that, we did not SUCCEED!

House of R and R said...

Belks is open. That's the new Alliance Town Center that we built. The shopping center between North Tarrant and Heritage Trace that's under construction is the Sam Moon Shopping Center that is going to be finished next year.

There's a 60 acre tract across the highway that's suppose to be another large shopping center in the future.

Power outage was Bport's evil plan to make your next bill higher. They will charge you regardless of whether your power is on or not.

Yep, it's all that secretive and sensitive info that the President Elect receives that makes him realize he can't keep ONE DERN PROMISE he made to America!! lol!
They really should receive this info BEFORE running, so they will know what they really can and can't do!

Well.....Texas, if you will notice, is the only state in the US that flies it's flag at an equal hight to the stars and stripes.This is because it was a republic before it joined the US. It also has a clause in the paperwork that enables us to secede from the US with a vote of texas residents(legal ones,of course). I don't think this has ever happened. Oh, but we can dream!!

Anonymous said...

10:41 I used to think that was true. But they're both myths that have gotten way out of hand. Any state can fly it's flag at the same height as the American flag, as long as the American flag is in a more prominent position. And there is no secession clause, I've checked.

Newsweek is releasing a seven-part article documenting various reporters experiences on the campaign trail with McCain, Clinton and Obama...it's really a great read so far. They've released up to Chapter 4

Power loss was in the Alvord/Chico area...due to Brazos Electric loosing transmission lines and knocking out 5 Wise Coop Electric substations. Occured about 11:15 last night and the last station went back on line just before 9:00 this morning.

Your Chick Pix are the #1 reason I don't drop my daughter at ballet in Keller -- I always stay onsite....don't want to find a picture of her posted @ Liberally Lean.

FYI: lost power at my casa in B'port last night around midnight, as previously reported.

Also, to 10:41 poster:
you wrote: ..."enables us to secede from the US with a vote of texas residents(legal ones,of course). I don't think this has ever happened."
You might want to read up on your US history. Remember that part called American Civil War, War Between the States, War of Northern Agression? Call it what you want, but Texas, along with other southern states, seceded from the Union, aka US of America, to form Confederate States of America. Then forced to return after getting our arses handed to us. I believe the secession issue was passed by popular referendum, aka vote of Texas residents.

11-14 GO BACK AND READ YOUR HISTORY AGAIN. TEXAS HAS THE RIGHT TO FLY IT'S FLAG OVER THE U. S. FLAG. IT ALSO HOLDS THE RIGHT TO
SUCCEED FROM THE UNION. THESE ARE ONLY TWO OF THE SIX CONDITIONS THAT THE STATE STIPULATED IT HAVE TO HAVE TO JOIN THE U. S.

Addendum to my previous post -
from Lone Star Junction website:
"...an Ordinance of Secession, which "repealed and annulled" the Texas annexation laws of 1845. The Ordinance of Secession was subsequently approved by popular vote in a statewide election."

You see, it's not that hard to verify or disprove a statement if you do a little virtual leg work first. You're using the computer; use it to get your learn on!
