Random Monday Morning Thoughts


In game photo on an August afternoon in the "old" ballpark.  


  • Wise County State Rep. sent a strange warning to city managers (who are unelected.) I assume he's talking about city council elections, but his ire is directed towards the city manager position. Only Decatur, Bridgeport and Boyd have one.

  • Foot pursuit by Boyd PD in Aurora on Friday.

  • Last week's "Meet The Prosecutors and Judges" event held by the Wise County Conservatives appears to have had modest attendance. 
  • Some very unusual jury activity in this story.  Gift link.


  • A big rig appears to have run of 287 onto the troubled Bonds Ranch Road on Friday.


  • Seems like more people would be concerned about this. 


  • Video was released in the shooting at the In-n-Out Burger in Idaho last week.  Workers scrambled after a co-worker was shot as she stood at the drive-through window. 

  • You, too, could go see the Statue of Liberty on a 21 footer with fourteen people onboard.  



  • So much winning.  This is becoming a Jimmy Carter level of embarrassment. 


  • This ruling comes a little late. 


    • But to show you where Trump's priorities are, this was his response. 

  • As an indication of the crazy new world we are entering, a PAC releases an anti-Talarico ad using AI and depicting him acting on a surgeon on a young girl performing a sex change surgery. It's wild

  • Flock camera news 
  • The Business Second™: Ridgmar Mall will become warehouses.

  • I saw a first for me at a driver's license hearing the other day: A guy was arrested for DWI on an electric bike.
