- Career explosion of the week: "Arkansas TV weatherman Brett Cummins has been questioned by police after waking up in an empty hot tub next to a dead man wearing a dog collar." There's just not many ways you can put a positive spin on that. (And you know your life has gone horribly wrong when . . . . )
- Something noticeably absent in Wise County right now: Crickets.
- About 50 people gathered in Slidell last night to lobby to keep the local post office open. I think you have a rally of 50,000 people, and it wouldn't have an impact. And if the news is true this week, there might not be any post offices open in the very near future.
- Saw that the Decatur head coach missed the football game last night because his son was in the hospital due to "emergency surgery" on his leg that he injured last week. Sounds kind of bad.
- Mrs. LL saw "The Help" and said it was a multiple Kleenex movie.
- It may be easy to say since my team won, but TCU v. Baylor last Friday might end up being the most exciting game of the year.
- Idiocracy continued: (1) The Fox NFL robot, Cleatus, has a twitter account, and (2) the NFL is making all stadiums display fantasy football stats on stadium scoreboards.
- Criminal appellate opinion: A an illegal immigrant in Wise County fights to overturn his misdemeanor marijuana non-conviction probation after it lead to deportation proceedings. (You would be stunned by the number of crimes that do not lead to deportation issues, but at least 30 grams of marijuana is not one of them.)
- You are asking: "An illegal immigrant can be prosecuted and receive probation or jail time in Texas and not automatically be deported?" I'd say 9 out of 10 times.
- A treasure trove of audio of 9/11 released by the FAA.
- For you Ticket Fans: Paradise v. Rio Vista was the "Big Black Computer's Craig Way Memorial Game of The Week" this morning. (That sounds insane and even I understand it.)
- And The Ticket also replayed their audio of 9/11 this morning. I'll always remember being on FM 1810 when I heard the morning boys describe the second plane hitting the building, and how flat out frightened I was when I heard George Dunham say, "This is now a military operation."
- Sheriff Joe yesterday: "At 2:00 today I will have a press conference at Basic Training in Scottsdale concerning citizens requesting a crime suppression operation." Is that the same thing as saying, today I'll answer questions from citizens requesting that I actually work?
- The power of the compliment: Of everything that's happened with girl's softball, I still appreciate a dad coming up to me for the first practice and saying, "I just want to say thanks. I know this takes a lot of time and just want to tell you my wife and I appreciate your efforts."

I wonder how Rick Perry feels about empty hot tubs & dog collars? I can dream.

Pretty bad grammar this morning. Who did your typing? Not that I perfect.

Wonder what would have happened if you told them you were a lawyer? Do you think he would be so appreciative?
TV weatherman
empty hot tub
dead man w/dog collar
"There's just not many ways you can put a positive spin on that."
Hellooooo! It said the hot tub was EMPTY! No water was wasted
Swing by my office sometime today - I'll have plenty crickets rounded up for ya.
Not as bad as previous years, but they are the predominant multi-legged critter since the grasshoppers moved on
An illegal vandalized my truck on New Year's Day this year here in Tennessee and was arrested. I pointed out his illegal immigrant status to the local D.A.'s office, asked why he wasn't being deported and told his immigration status wasn't important.
Triple Fake, I think Barry is referring to panty crickets, not brown crickets
Well, 8:51 that hot tub you sent was so stained and filthy we had to dispose of it. And, what was that gunk stuck in the drain? It looked like hamster hair.
We couldn't use the dog collars either. Whatever cologne you use scared the hell out of the dogs. We couldn't get within 200 feet of them with those stinky things.
I wonder if that Little Rock weather man worked at the same station as that anchor woman who was murdered a few years back (also in Little Rock)?
Are the crickets in Wise County as bad as the ones at Baylor?
Also, today's RT girl looks like she's built for speed. Nice.

Fantasy stats:
Otherwise known as actual stats - from players on other teams that you normally wouldn't be rooting for.
I don't get the fantasy deal where you cheer for players from teams that play against the team that you have traditionally been a fan of, in order to win something - money or bragging rights, whatever.
Some people might ask what the difference is between that and rooting for one team all the time, in which the players and coaches are constantly replaced. Loyalty? Tradition? I guess
I just know that I have been a fan of one team only my entire life (since the team's inception, anyway) and there are no plans to change that. ever.
USPS: When your labor cost is 80%(compared to UPS' 30%), you know you're in troubles. And 5 billion ain't even a drop in the bucket- That's just to pay ins and retirement benefits. But I reckon we'll give 'em a damned handout- just like everybody else. ♫
I like the angle of the chic pic today.....
Now that we are in high alert for a terrorist attact why don't they cancel the 9/11 festivities?
There's no way I would attend now. Better safe than sorry.
And, if something does happen to those that do attend, there won't be any sympathy feelings coming from me.
YOU WERE WARNED.
This RT girl goes in top ten ever. Smokin!!!
Randy Girl:
Is that Bree Olson (google her)?
Hot, just Hot!
I'll always remember when the second plane hit I was watching Katie Couric at the very moment it hit and she asked Matt Lauer.."is there a chance that this might not be an accident"...is that the stupidest F'n thing you ever heard..?
Noticed in the S-T that the military is having a drill this weekend in West Fort Worth. They are simulating an attack on a military base.
According to the article, this will include explosions, helicopters and about 600 soldiers. They are warning people to not be alarmed.
What kind of genius schedules something like this on the 10th anniversary weekend of 9/11 when we will all be a little more alert? There are 51 other weekends that this could have been done on.
I can't believe you didn't even mention this from the update:
Rhome Pioneer Days - "beauty pageant, ugly woman contest"
I just read that 10:47! What a bunch of idiots!
OMG I'm so sick and tired of people being SO STUPID!
I hope the softball parents are always kind to you. That was a low blow 8:56. Lawyers are just people like you and me, especially when it involves their family. You are doing a good thing Barry, let those comments roll off your back. I told you, we have a lot of haters on here that just love to stir things up. So keep up the good work!
the ugly woman contest really should be held in Alvoid, much bigger collection of fuglies, and goofy too.
That archive site is amazing. Every year about this time I look at that site and those newscasts to remember that awful day.
@10:38 Listen to the NBC broadcast. Katie Couric did not say that, you are mistaken. Everyone thought the first plane was an acccident. When the 2nd one hit, you will hear, almost to a man, the word terrorist.
10:47 and on top of an actual warning that an actual attack might be in the works.
I wish Ft. Worth nothing but complete failure and chaos for being so dumb. lol
Rhome is a perfect spot for Ugly Women contest, they will all be Loves Hookers! Why is the Fire Department not involved with Pioneer Days anymore? It used to be good times.
This blog is slipping. No Ugly woman contest mention or pics of the new zero tolerance signs in Rhome? WTF??????????????????
This Blog been hijacked by Bill Oreilly?
1115 don't tell me what I heard you idiot.
No tax dollars spent in operating USPOST
UPS not forced to deliver junk mail for business (one of those little subsidies for business)
Post office runs on a balanced budget but the operating decisions are made by Congress.
11:02
Lawyers may be like you, but
sure as hell not me.
Keep your low self esteem issues
to yourself.
Runaway Bay has never had a post office and somehow we've managed.
Here's the one video you won't see played over and over on the anniversary of 9/11.
Never forget.

I for one won't miss the post office at all.Leet Fed X and U P S handle it.
Another thing;what is it with you Decatur people that you don't like a policeman that works.People like Joe and Bishop are only doing their job.
