That didn't last long.
- The Wise County Commissioners meet today. AI is on the agenda. (It's probably nothing, but you never know.)
- Sunday evening: "A preliminary investigation showed that Gary Higginbotham was riding a 1999 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic westbound on U.S. 380 when he entered U.S. 281 and failed to yield the right-of-way to a northbound 2012 Nissan Xterra, troopers said. The SUV then struck the motorcycle.The driver of the Nissan, an 80-year-old male, and his passenger, a 76-year-old female, both of Montague, were wearing seatbelts and were not injured in the crash."
- Her blood alcohol concentration was 0.294. The punishment phase of the trial continues today. Defense attorneys are George Milner and Scott Palmer.
- Authorities believe he had been in the water for 48 hours. No missing person reports had been made.
- The souvenir photos of guests on the ride which are automatically displayed on a screen afterwards for purchase actually captured the beginning of the man falling from the ride. Someone snapped a picture of the display at the park.
- From Cruel Intentions fame:
- The Wall Street Journal obtained video of the event for its story. The fact that his girlfriend was with him is notable since he was still married at the time. His wife would file for divorce six months later.
- The Authoritarian State:
- Social media involving politicians and a country music singer produced a doozy yesterday:
- Trumpisms:
- Notable death.
- A reporter was in the courtroom and created this thread as the hearing unfolded. It was wild. If someone's name came up at the hearing who factored into the decision to cut down the trees, the judge was ordering the government to go get them and bring them to hearing.
- Correction from yesterday: The new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, will have her first press conference today.
