- Almost 400 missing in a ferry accident in South Korea. Picture as it was going down.
- I want to watch Game of Thrones but I'd have to see 32 episodes to catch up. Worth it?
- Blake Beaven pitched against the Rangers last night. I can't find it for the life of me, but on the day he was originally drafted by the Rangers in 2007 he ridiculed Texas' pitching staff and said, and I'm paraphrasing, he could do a better job than any pitcher on the roster. He's pretty much been a bust ever since.
- As of this morning, American Eagle is known as Envoy Air. I've flown on American Eagle once and really didn't mind it.
- Live shot of The Fellowship
Country Club Church in Grapevine attempting to set a world record for the largest chalk drawing. After it's finished, I assume they'll return to saving souls. Or raising money. Or doing bits.
- We probably need to seize on the Bundy Ranch publicity and immediately take over the LBJ Grasslands from the federal government. After all, how dare they take Texas land!!!!
- The Mavs are in a critical game tonight and the Stars are in a playoff game. I have no interest in either one. And it's not out of the question, and quite probable, that the Rangers game will outdraw both of them in the TV ratings.
- We've got some fancy make-one-cup-at-a-time coffee maker in the office, and it looks intimidating.
- The direct link to the Update on the Messenger's home page is screwed up. Today's is here.
- "The Housing Authority of the City of Decatur will be closed Thursday for training." What's the Housing Authority?
- "According to a statement from the
Academy of Country Music [whoever runs the show], the 50th anniversary edition of the CMA awards show, which will be held at ATT [Cowboys] Stadium next April 19, sold out 70,000 tickets in 18 minutes this morning." Good grief.
- I'm hesitant to use the term "pedophile", but the guy sentenced yesterday in Fort Worth earned the title. (And there's a nugget in that link that he admitted yesterday to being the 1970s "Baseball Cap Bandit" in Houston.)
- This is a first: An "And Another" has escaped from jail. Edit: Oops. Should have read the article. Make that "escapes jail time".
- Sports Illustrated put out a casting call to the people of Boston for last Saturday to take a photo for the anniversary of the bombing at the Boston Marathon. The photo which made it to the cover was just released.
