Random Monday Morning Thoughts

  • Bud Kennedy has a pretty good column about the weekend of the crash at DFW in 1985.
  • And WBAP played the cockpit tapes from the crash this morning. Wow. I had never heard those. You could hear emergency warnings going up and a computer voice saying "Pull up. Pull up."
  • I did "family grocery shopping" for the first time last night. Oh, my.
  • Lindsay's free!
  • I can't tell you how disappoinged I at at McAfee Security. After buying their virus protection program two weeks ago, I was hit with one yesterday. And a full scan now doesn't even detect it.
  • Got to see the inside of an apartment/condo at the converted Montgomery Ward off of 7th Street in Fort Worth. Not bad.
  • They are going to try the "static kill" on BP well this week. That could make the temporary fix a permanent one.
  • The second story in the Update makes it sound like DPS can't test blood for marijuana. It can, just not at that lab in Garland.
  • I haven't heard any updates on the Montague County Judge's death. If it turns out to be a suicide, we are in the midst of an epidemic of them.
  • Very funny picture: Dad poses with barracuda and daughter after the barracuda took a piece out of the girl's arm.
  • Drove a Uhaul truck this weekend without incident. But the check in line in Fort Worth was ridiculous. After waiting 30 minutes I was reminded that I hadn't filled the big rig up with gas and there would be a $30 refueling fee. But I was given the chance to get out of line, wait for the truck to be pulled back around, fight Saturday traffic to find a gas station and come back and stand in line. Nope. I'll eat the $30.
  • All of Weatherford will be without water temporarily this morning.

Judge Winn's funeral is today at First Baptist Church of Bowie, and Commissioner Sappington was appointed to serve out the judge's term.

Try Malwarebytes.org. Downloads for free. Another good one is Spyware Doctor. I have McAfee, Malware and Spyware Doc on my computer because I got a major hit awhile back. I'll be dam-- if I get hit again. LOL

Once your McAfee expires (or before) try out Trend Micro. I haven't had any problems at all since changing from McAfee and I think it's even cheaper.

McAfee/Norton is crap...stick with the free stuff available, it's better.

Use Firefox as your browser, get the Web of Trust add-on. It will alert you when you hit a site that has a bad reputation.....like sites that will download malware onto your computer.

Lots of rumors floating around Montague county of the judge's suicide. (failed polygraph test, sexual harassment lawsuits brought on by females) I have a feeling when the truth behind this gets out it will be shocking. Not what Montague county needs after th last sheriff and jail fiasco.

You do realize that the focus of today's pic is the girl in the foreground, right? Not the woman in the background at the right

Yes, try Trend Micro. I think it is the best. I haven't had any problems since going with Trend Micro.

C'mon, Barry...she doesn't look like a slutty porn star with huge fake-looking airbags. You know we have a very skewed view of what beauty is, and this one looks so...normal
