Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




Top: A funny picture of  Trump voting which I had forgotten about. Bottom: That's the Wise County numbers for straight ticket voting in 2016 (back when there was straight ticket voting by filling in just one circle at the top of the ballot.)


  • We have a mystery around Decatur. I've seen this photo in two places around the square. Both were located in very weird places (at the bottom of a poll about an inch off the ground and the other on a water drain about 15 feet above the ground), and I bet there ares several more of them. I have no idea why. 

  • This morning: 

  • And we don't even know the name of the bar. 


  • Dallas notable accidents yesterday:
    • There is video of a car going off the High Five in Dallas.


    • Motorcycle death.

  • Incredible. 

  • Update from yesterday: The guy was in fact unarmed. "A physical confrontation occurred, and two officers – a field training officer and a recruit officer – fired shots." The field training officer was shot in the hand. 

  • And he had to hear it come from this guy. 

  • A ransomware attack at Vanderbilt. 

  • Pete Hegseth gave a press conference this morning to try and save his job from impeachment.

     


  • Election News Updates:
    • The race was finally called yesterday. I will miss her craziness. 


    • Rep. Josh Hawley says you need to fast with him for a whole hour to cope with the mid-term results. (And here's a photo to remind you who he is.)


    • Texas results by county proportional to number of votes in each county. This looks like Wise County was the second largest deep red county (only behind Parker.).  

    • Give it up, hoss. 

    • The four new Democrat justices for the Texas Supreme Court. 

  • Very odd. Trump called into CSPAN yesterday and there was a weird female giggling sound in the background when the call began. Video.
