- The Aggies have set a school record for season tickets sold for the upcoming season. I would predict big things for the Ags this year but I don't want to put a curse on them before the first game.
- The lady who was struck and killed by the train in Alvord over the weekend had the same name, was the same age, and lived in the same city as this lady. (Facebook link)
- The entire Family Unit tends to sleep with various lights on but the Guest In The House, like a normal person, likes total darkness. The house has been unusually dark when I've awakened the last two mornings. I think she gets up in the middle of the night and walks around turning off lights.
- A coach for Prestonwood Christian Academy in Dallas (the private school associated with Prestonwood Baptist) collapsed and died on the field yesterday. I heard on the radio that one of his sons was a player who was on the field at the time.
- Even if you're the toughest Old School kind of coach, aren't you scared to death for your players in this heat?
- Got a report last night about a DWI, a golf cart, Runaway Bay, and Highway 380. Haven't confirmed anything yet. (No names in the comments please.)
- I went through the horrible where-are-my-car-keys experience this morning. Twenty minutes of searching later, I found them behind my alarm clock. That's a location for them that I never use.
- It's kind of crazy that I mentioned Gabby Giffords yesterday not being on the House floor for the Debt Ceiling Vote only for to her to be there for the first time since her shooting. And I hate to be a killjoy, but is anyone else skeptical about her showing up for a Feel Good Moment when the public's disdain for Congress was at the boiling point?
- And Ann Compton was back on WBAP this morning and Hal Jay triumphantly pointed out that three Democrats weren't present to vote yesterday. (Obviously stinging from yesterday's slap down.) Why is he obsessed with that?
- Out Guest In The House, who I think is 12 or 13, announced last night that she thinks there should be a Flat Tax. I asked her if her dad watches a lot of Fox News. "Yeah," she said. "He hogs the TV a lot." Thought so.
- When I went to bed last night, Mrs. LL was belting out "Tell me what you want, what you really really want!" on Guitar Hero in the game room.
- Never thought I'd be interested in Rihanna being in Barbados for Kadooment Day. But I am.
- Lower lake levels lead to the discovery of (probably) a piece of the Space Shuttle that disintegrated over Texas in 2003.
- Lake Bridgeport is closing in on 10 feet low and dropping. If the lake went completely dry, I wonder what would be found?
- Alert: I went to Hurricane Harbor. A Pulitzer Prize potential blog post is forthcoming.
- I intend to steal a lot from it, but someone has started a "Remember In Decatur When . . . " Facebook group which seems really active.

If bridgeport lake dried up I have a ring in there, possibly two.
The decatur remember fb page is lame.
Stay cool guys!
Sounds like the house guest raised the IQ level in your household. Ask her if she wants to be strapped with an ever increasing debt that she had nothing to do with.
"Take a salt tablet...walk it off!"
Triple Fake Old School kind of coach
Football practice in this kind of heat scares me to death. By the time you notice heat distress symptoms in a person, their condition could be dicey. It takes a conscientious coach to monitor his players conditions in between Xs and Os. The old school idea to tough it out in this kind of heat just doesn't work.

NO FLAT TAX!!! Because people who achieve things in this country deserve to punished. The higher the income, the higher the percentage of taxes they must pay. They need to pay their fair share because government spends that money far more wisely than the private sector does!!!
(HOT girl today, BTW.....one of the best ever)
Bridgeport has a fb "remember when" also...
The heat for the football players along with the band (practice in the evenings) is so scary. Lots of fluids, PLEASE!!!!
I've heard that the lowest Lake Bridgeport has ever been was in the mid-1950s when there had been no rain for almost 2 years, maybe more. Islands formed no one has seen since.
Sounds like your houseguest has a brain. What would be wrong with a flat tax? As a lawyer I would assume that your income exceeds that of most Americans. You spent years in school to put yourself in position to earn more. Why should you be punished by your government and forced to pay a higher percentage of your income in taxes just because you cared enough about yourself to put yourself in a position to earn more than most folks. I will never understand why being successful financially is considered evil and I am definitely NOT successfully financially.
My son is playing youth football for first time this year. I'm confused as to why at this age they had to begin practices now. In this heat. I asked my brother about when he played at this age, they began after labor day. I'm just beginning to hate this, I think even my husband is upset.
Am I skeptical about Giffords showing up to vote? Pelosi would have dug up Ted Kennedy to vote if he wouldn't have stunk up the room. By the way, Teddy hasn't had a drink in over two years now. Congrats to ya, Killer!
Aggies will lose their first game.
9:09, The government spends the money more wisely than the private sector does? You my friend, desperately need a teleprompter.
DWI was in Jack County. The driver left runaway bay and was half way to Jacksboro on 380.
9:37
I believe that was SARCASM.
On Dec 21st 2012, we will all have to worry about a heat wave.
Were drugs and alcohol involved?
9:34..I think you missed 9:09's sarcasm.
BG, the guest is not only turning off lights, she is relocating key rings.
Texas high school football is too important to worry about someone dying in this heat. (9:34, I'm being sarcastic).
I would bet a pink cow that if she had said she is all for higher taxes on those filthy rich scumbag bastards you would have never even questioned her. This situation goes to prove that today's colleges (especially Baylor) are ruining America. At 13 she has more intelligence than a certain lawyer who shall remain nameless Barry.
RE: Flat Tax. About 47 percent of people pay no "income" taxes. We have people in Wise County who believe taxes should be raised on 47% of the people?
Love the tough call pic. For once the brutha is holdin the white man down.
There needs to be a law about seperation of church and football.
If Lake Bridgeport went dry, they would find Bruce Church's pick-up at the base of the dam. (Wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy Hoffa isn't behind the wheel!)
All you need to know about Obammy is that choosing Crackhead Biden was his first executive decision.
It sounds as if your house guest is the smartest one in the house...With the exception of the family cat that is.
Pic looks like a wax figure...I don't think she's real.
9:57, I totally agree about high school football being more important than someone dying. I say field the toughest team you can. Win at all costs.
In the 6th grade, 1981, the Lake was insanely dry and I lived in "Ranaway Bay" we found lots and lots of Tackle boxes, trolling motors, some shoes, rods and reels. A set of keys by the old docks as well. Only half a boat hull, looked dumped. It didn't smell pretty.
9:56 a. U. R. G. A. Y.
Sort of a meta-question: Did your houseguest offer this opinion spontaneously, or were you discussing politics with a 12-year-old?
No kid of school age should weigh 300 pounds. That just means the kid is a piglet from a family of hogs. Don't they care about their children at all or early death.
Flat tax? Not a fan but would support a form of consumption tax.
I thought the idea of photos was to capture lasting memories. These moronic solo pose pics with the arm move are the stuff scrapbooks are made of!!! The grandkids will be so excited their grandmother documented her youth.
9:25
Hysterical post and lest we forget, TRUTH IS TRUTH!!
If a flat tax would make the other 50% or more who pays NO TAXES at all, I'm in favor!
STOP THE SPENDING, PEOPLE!
In 1995, the WCSO pulled a red pickup out of Lake Bridgeport at the bottom of the bridge. It was red. Don't remember who the owner was.
please hurry on the hurricane harbor picts!!!!!
I never watch FAUX News, but I've favored a flat tax for years. 10% across the board, no deductions.
I thought Buce made it back up the dam?
Big Ed
Decatur remember when page is really boring with the same crap over and over...

People's personal photos have to meet standards now?
DAMN!
Is there an approved list of poses/settings? I'd hate to get rounded up by the pic police
11:16 is right. Quit the damn spending people! We don't need fire, police, ambulance...etc.
Not so sure if swimming in other peoples' piss warrants a Pulitzer prize.
12:12, But Michelle needs her vacations and Obammy needs his golf.
Dumb news item #!:
this AM on the news - I think it was channel 11 - they said that the recent spell of hot weather also has an adverse effect on our lawns and plants! And steps you can take to help, after the break. I didn't stick around for that, but I suspect it had something to do with...water!
Dumb news item #2:
the prez sez birth control will not require a co-pay, meaning the cost of not getting knocked up will increase for all of us. If the women taking birth control don't have to pay, somebody does.
HHS Sec'y Kathleen Sibelius says it should be readily available, "Not doing it would be like not covering flu shots." There is just so much wrong with that statement, I don't know where to start the one-liners. (In one of those situations, a jab will prevent the condition; in the other...)
Birth control is the most common drug prescribed for women. A gov't study says it is "virtually universal in the US." But...half of all pregnancies are unplanned, and forgetting to take the pill is a major reason
"[s]he thinks there should be a Flat Tax."
I'm with her. Put in a pure flat tax and eliminate all deductions, tax shelters, and, as a result, a large portion of the revenue service, all unworthy "charitable" organizations, and those strange looking people who stand on the side of the road in Statue of Liberty drag.
Big Ed is correct. Bruce went down the damn AND made it back up.
A legendary feat.
Double Fake Sir Edmund Hillary
If they are going to give away free birth control pills why don't they send them in the same envelope with the welfare checks?
or....Lone Star Cards?
Triple Fake, surely all you folks who are opposed to abortion would rather pay for birth control to prevent all of those "government funded abortions" at planned parenthood, right?
Plus, that means fewer blacks, so, win-win. Won't mean fewer Mexicans though, the Pope won't let them use birth control.

The answer to your question is yes. The other 53%
I remember when my kids were in school, my son's 5th grade teacher talked a lot about politics. She told them, be sure to tell your parents to vote for George W. I was so pissed. How dare a teacher tell my kids to tell me how to vote! Even if I had voted for the guy, it would have still ticked me off.
Absolutely I'd be more than happy to share my hefty tax burden with the trash who pay nothing. I say flat tax the hell out of them. I'm tired of paying more because I actually work and have an education and am successful. 9:20 made the best point of the day on this blog.
As to the death/football.....any IDIOT should know better than to get out or to let their kids out in this heat. You're asking for a heat stroke or death. Just STUPID.
Today's girl looks like she'd have cooties in her underwear.
Nasty!
322 I have school age children as well and I never heard anything from them about W but they sure as he'll have been indoctrinating them on the liberal god Obama. Telecast, news articles, personal fluff pieces, etc are the order of the day since his inauguration. I can't tell you how many discussions I have had with my children to undo the indoctrination crap pushed. Partisan politics should not have a place in an elementary school. Maybe a high school poly sci class but there it should be non-partisan.

OK, now I have to clean DrPepper off my monitor.
My daughter saw the shuttle piece falling from the sky and called me on her cell phone while driving. She rear ended into another vehicle it scared her so bad.
It would be cooler and safer in a new indoor facility.
I am just saying!
Did yuo non notice that Bruces new truch had the home made six inch rear bumper as the "stolen" one? He did make it back up the the dam;T But lost eight hundred on a bet and paid cash on the spot.Rember the good old days!
