Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • Has Decatur's Firehouse Gym out on 287 shut down? Seems to have an empty parking lot this week.
  • Decatur's Wise Regional Health System recently announced a new hospital in North Fort Worth. Yesterday, HCA North Texas announced plans of a $71 million hospital pretty close to it. 
  • This time I think all this flu talk is based more reality than just the typical hype. (And don't you freak out a little if you believe you are beginning to feel anything other than normal?)
  • On Cowboy's firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan: I won't miss him, not sure he deserved to be fired, but I'm not sure he should have ever been hired.
  • I'm not sure why everyone got so bent out of shape about Brent Musburger's comments about the girlfriend of Alabama's quarterback. You can't mention that a girl is hot any more?
  • I went through a preliminary workout with the Xbox using some Nike program. Sheesh. I'd rather run five miles any day. But I'm seriously thinking about retiring from jogging and going to some other fitness routine. Just seems time to move on. 
  • I thought I was just kidding about building an ark.
  • You always here about some shooting at some spare bar in the parking lot of some seedy Dallas bar but last night a guy was killed in the evening hours at Red Rock Bar at Midway and Frankford.  That's a pretty high tone area. To make the story more bizarre, it occurred on the patio of the bar after an argument. 
  • When did Ruben's Ballroom on 380 towards Denton become the Crazy Horse? 
  • After hearing everyone talk about it, I recorded Best Funeral Ever on The Learning Channel last night. Haven't watched it yet. 
  • And I caught the first ten minutes of Frost/Nixon last weekend. Man, that really got my attention. Politics. Media. History. It's almost a trifecta for me. 
  • Alabama playing the Aggies on September 14th this Fall might end up being the most hyped game ever. (And how did the Aggies manage to get eight home games next year?)

The Firehouse Gym's doors are chained up with a padlock.

J-Robs bought firehouse Gym, but somehow he does not have all the equipment needed.

That Eagle headline about the A&M dept head caught my attention. I hadn't read about that, although it might be because I don't keep up on news very much these days.

We need a serious gym here in town, none of the previous owners of Firehouse were committed to keeping it clean. Not sure if the JRobb guy will be any different. I tried Fit n Wise, but much too crowded for when I can go. Heard rumors about an Anytime Fitness coming, but rumors in Decatur have all the credibility of campaign promises.

"high-tone" has a hyphen

It's okay to say a woman is attractive, but Musburger was practically drooling. Plus, there's about a fifty year age difference between them - creepy!

Rob Ryan did a satisfactory job as Defensive Coordinator, considering the circumstances. It was everything else about him, I think, that people could not abide - cocky attitude, foul language, the Big Lebowski amalgam of Jeff Bridges & John Goodman

What absolutely shocked me was how Brent Musburger has AGED!! Lord have mercy, I had no idea he was such an old man now! He used to be rather a looker himself. I guess I haven't seen him in a long time. Based on what I saw the other night, I would guess he's about 85? Close?

So, when I am 50, I can't think or say that a 20 year old is hot or attractive? I don't see how that is weird or perverted.

I have heard JRobbs is taking over the firehouse facility. He has the marketing & administrative expertise to make a good go of it and I wish him well.

DHS needs to get some 'Crisis Actors' to College Station, and started the media blitz to say how bad parking garages are and that they should be banned. There should be an initiative to rail every square inch of the garage so no one else can jumps from it. Heaven's sakes, there might be 'bystander trauma' and others can follow him.....

PLANNED PARENTHOOD TOUTS OVER 333,000 BABIES ABORTED IN 2011

How can you make a Facebook RIP page three days before a shooting (parents of one child).

Adam Lanza was a computer nerd, yet had no social website involvement at all.

In the 911 call, you can hear the officer say they're coming this way. And also the statement that there are THREE persons of interest. Man in the woods, the guy they had on the ground in FRONT of the school, and the accused shooter deceased inside. Where did these others vanish to? No media reports of either.

Adam Lanza enrolled in college at 16. After his classes were over, he just disappeared for three years?!?

I can smell lies like a fart in a car!!!

I don't think it was the fact that Musberger said that she was attractive that was the problem. It was the fact that he continually discussed it that made it seem a little creepy coming from him!

I thought that College Professor was the lowest stress job ever.

Rob Ryan was this season's scapegoat. It's a sign that Jones and Company have not learned their lesson and are not going to replace Tony Romo. Until they replace the QB, you can rule out a playoff run.

Are you complaining?! Scraping them out is way cheaper than a lifetime of paying for their welfare!!

Been telling you jogging is not good for you. Walk a track. Join the hospital gym but don't over exert yourself.

There were plenty of "crisis actors" in Sandy Hook last week.

anon @ 9:46 -
I didn't mention the words weird or perverted; I said creepy. And my comment is for a fifty year age span. Yours is for thirty. When they're young enough to be your grandchild - that's creepy!
Do you think it's normal for a 73yo man to slobber over a twenty-something (I'm guessing), during a nationally televised sporting event?
I hope that when I reach his age, I'll still feel...something! But you probably won't hear me going on about it, on TV or otherwise. We shouldn't hear him doing it, either

I cancelled my gym membership. It's easier doing 12oz curls at Frilly's.

Check out the Robbie Parker video on you tube. He dressed in a suit, fixed his hair, and then gets into character. WTF? This creeps me out..



The last time I saw someone so happy immediately after the death of their child was Darlie Routier.

You are a little off on the Red Rock Killing. That area is a dump. Section 8.

Maybe because he's not the father of that child. They were actors. This whole thing is a false flag set up for legitimate gun control debate. WAKE UP, SHEEPOLE!!!

Triple Fake... said...

sorry The Dude, forgot you had that avatar

but you'll have to be more specific with your statement/warning:
watch it, as in..."Don't borrow my name"?
watch it, as in..."Don't equate Rob Ryan with me or my character"?
or
watch it, as in..."Watch The Big Lebowski!"?

Midway & Frankford used to be "toney" when I lived there back in the 80s (moved in '91). Then section 8 housing came in.....

All those so called Sandy hurricane victims are really just actors hired to start climate change debate. I read it on the electric internet. We will know for sure when Rush tells us.

NO, you can NOT mention that someone's girlfriend or mom is attractive. You CAN, however, go to commercial break during the game and promote a new movie called "Bullet To The Head". Wonder if that's going to be at your local Newtown Cinema soon?
