Random Monday Morning Thoughts




This was near Lockhart and was caused when the balloon hit an electrical line. It was, and still is, the deadliest ballooning disaster to ever occur in the United States.


  • The big news over the weekend was a mass shooting in Idaho. Lots of videos of the gunman, as well as a  civilian returning fire, are everywhere online.  The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

  • He really said that in his "I will not quit" speech yesterday: 


  • Let's check in on the Austin swamp:

  • CBS desperately will use any reason to get out of Romo's contract -- a contract which calls for him to receive $72 million over the next four years, 

  • Flock cameras sure are making a lot of news
