Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

  • Channel surfing this morning and saw a couple from the U.S. being interviewed on Fox who had sent back video from the Iran protests. Why were they there? "We were on a six week vacation traveling through the Middle East." Six weeks? Iran?
  • Is it easy to get a job as a cook at Dennys? What about Chili's? The Olive Garden? Del Frisco's?
  • New this morning: Ed McMahon dead of death.
  • And, perhaps oddly, I thought it was sad that McMahon was peddling his own book a couple of years ago entitled, "Here's Johnny." It just kind of came across as "you won't buy a book about my life but you might if I write about my relationship with someone else."
  • UT lost the first game of the World Series last night in 11 innings. And guess what ESPN told me the Longhorn's relief pitcher, Brandon Workman, was from? Bowie.
  • I fell asleep in the 10th inning.
  • Isn't it odd that you can't buy sushi in Wise County but you can by marijuana.
  • I might have forgotten that I had a sprinkler running last night. Ugh.
  • I want to go into Flip's, the new restaurant off of Western Center Boulevard, but haven't yet.
  • The prosecutor in our County Court at Law was forced to dismiss a case in the middle of a trial yesterday when clear evidence came forth that the key witness had lied.
  • The Southern Baptist Executive Committee has voted to kick out Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth due to it openly accepting homosexual members. They then sang about agape love.
  • I'd rather walk into a room full of strangers than into a room where everyone knows me.
  • Motorcycle death yesterday when I guy flies off an overpass and lands on I-20 in south Arlington. (That's the fourth motorcycle death involving falling from an overpass in the last year and half --- the other three were at 183 and the George Bush Freeway in Irving.)
  • Blogger Anobiter is taking the month (or half a year) off and is in New Hampshire. But some detective work reveals this: Compare the third pic of her's that she posted here with this pic posted on a random sports blog. Coincidence?
