Random Friday Morning Thoughts



  • The Wise County case of Motorcyclist vs. Fed Ex went to the jury yesterday afternoon. They went home without a verdict and will return this morning. I haven't watched a second of it.
  • The Denton drunk-dad-shoots-daughter case goes to the jury today with a range of punishment of probation to 20 years in prison. I predict 13 years. 
  • There was some controversy over a low pre-game flyover at a college game earlier this year, and then someone found footage of an insanely low flyover at involving TCU in 2000. Man, that plane is lower than the top of the press box. (Begins at :16 mark with three views.)
  • Another Fort Worth police officer arrested for DWI.
  • Got word that an ex-Boyd coach was arrested yesterday for online solicitation of a minor. (Hey, jail, fix your online inmate directory!)
  • Cliff Lee last night: 9 innings, 0 runs, 12 strikeouts.
  • I've been working with the Second Grader In The House on how to hit a softball. Never knew I would get so much satisfaction of now seeing her regularly getting hits in games. 
  • Somebody pointed out yesterday that the Tarrant County Medical Examiners site listed a double fatality motorcycle accident near Alliance Airport on April 9th. I wonder why that didn't make the news? Edit: As many pointed out, it did make the news.
  • Googling "fixing a toilet" is not a high point in one's life. 
  • We had an impromptu test this morning in the house as to the cause of the sinking of the Titanic. All passed. (It's the anniversary of its sinking. All together now: "Jack! Jack!")
  • PGA tour member Kevin Na shot a 16 on a par 4 hole yesterday in Houston. Yep, one hole. Hello, record books.
  • If you were on Camp Bowie yesterday in Fort Worth (like I was) you would have been buzzed by the Blue Angels practicing for this weekend's air show.

Possible causes of the sinking of the Titanic:

* Leonardo Dicaprio's acting.
* Dicaprio and Kate Winslett made out in the back of a Renault. (Invoking the Friday the 13th rule.)
* massive federal deficits.
* childhood obesity among third class passengers.
* global warming.
* Charlie Sheen had a live show on board that night.

You forgot to mention that the next April 15 is the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking.

I just rebuilt my toilet last weekend. It was great fun. There are a lot of good videos on youtube to help you out.

Nice work with the Random Thought girls. I know they can't all be home runs. Speaking of which, way to channel your inner Charlie Lau and/or Walt Hriniak with the Second Grader.

@Wordkyle, funny stuff there. "People do like lists."

Motorcycle accident was in the Star Telegram.

TCU game flyover was at Navy stadium. The crack LLFLDQ staff was only off by 1,000 miles.

Should be:
(HEEEEYYYYY DAaaViiiID WAaaaLKER, SHERIFF, DO SOMETHING THE PUBLIC ELECTED YOU TO DO AND PLEEEAASSSEEE FIX YOUR ONLINE INMATE DIRECTORY)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheriff has the largest budget in the county to work with (last I knew).
He probably enjoys the collect calls we have to pay $10.00 for the first minute so we can get info from the defendant.
He also didn't mind changing the phone service to a much higher rate company, around the same time that their site went down last year.
Perhaps this could be a nice story for The Messenger.

I found out who the Boyd coach was. It was Pat Microtch!

Lol @ 1:57...

I heard the coach was Rusty Rushing. Fired last week.

Schnikees- the F18 jock on the 2000 flyover must have been about to retire.

The bad daddy got 12 years--you were almost right.

Did you notice that if the golfer had made par on that hole, he would have shot a 68? His round wasn't all bad.

Two boyd coaches in two years doing that crap..........or has it been overlooked for a long time and nothing said or done

The first time Grace got up to bat and the coach on the other team told his people out there in the field (outfield?) to back up because she was such a hard hitter, I beamed a little. Almost as much as when she won her beauty pageant.

To begin with, 4:49. The coach you are rferring to from last year did not do anything wrong. If you think he did you have been told lies. He was railroaded out of the district by a superintendent who will not back his teachers and lets certain parents tell him what to do because he has no backbone! That coach resigned. This one didnt

This Boyd coach did resign.
