Land Grab
The proposed route of the Trans-Texas Corridor toll road has been released. For now, it will swing up from Waco around the east side of Dallas.
However, the first alternative route cuts right through southeast Wise County.
A pdf map is here. The blue route is the proposed route. The light grey one is the alternative.
Very Unconfirmed Rumor
Somebody at the courthouse told me a 14 year old boy shot and killed a 17 year old girl in Jack County last night.
Like I said, unconfirmed.
Edit: The Wichita Falls paper has a story on it. (If you have to login, use "nobody@nowhere.net" as an email and "nada" as a password)
Dark
No one would collect pictures of people (1) who have died and (2) had a profile on myspace.com AND then post them on a web site called mydeathspace.com.
Would they?

Political News
As the Republican Party begins to crumble (although it will take Wise County 20 years to realize it), former-Republican-Big-Dog Tom Delay (R - Texas) is calling it quits.
What an embarrassment.
Pink
Rocker/Singer/Freak (I'm not sure what to call her) has tattoos on the back of her head. I can't wait to do that.

The Benchwarmers
How much money can the studio spend on promoting this movie? A lot, apparently. A commercial for it shows up every five minutes.
And it looks horrible.
Derailed
Finished another movie while jogging tonight.
The name: Derailed
Star Factor: Huge (Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston)
Plot: Starts off like Unfaithful and then gets freaky and campy. Clive and Jennifer have an affair but get interrupted by a mugger who breaks into their hotel room. He keeps haunting Clive for $$$ because Clive can't go to the police because he doesn't want to reveal the affair.
Need to suspend disbelief: Absolutely (the police aren't very smart in this movie).
Enjoyable: Yeah, it was.
Most Shocking Moment: Jennifer Aniston saying, "I want you to [deleted because it's wrong to say certain words] me."
Random Thought: I don't remember this being in the theaters at all despite the fact it was released last year.
The South Rises Again In Wise County
In case you missed it, Channel 8 did a small piece on the Confederate Flag being displayed in the Wise County Courthouse.
Commissioner Robert Rankin made an appearance as did attorney Bill Burdock.
The clip is here. (My obsession with uploading to YouTube.com continues).
Friendly Prank
A bunch of golf balls, one SUV, and a guy who is late for work. Combine all that and hilarity ensues.
Streaker
A streaker interrupted some on the spot reporting on Channel 8 last night.
YouTube has the video here.
Wait. There's a reporter up at the courthouse right now! I have a great idea! Be right back.
Edit: The Dallas Morning News, on its web site, is asking the question: "Are you offended when something like this happens on live TV?" The results when I last checked were 699 voting "No" and 29 voting "Yes".
We're Gonna Be On The News!
It looks like a reporter and camera man are hanging around the courthouse looking for "man on the street" interviews. The subject: The fact that the confederate flag is on display in the courthouse beginning this morning.
I think it's Jeff Crilley of Fox 4 News, but I'm not sure. (I didn't want to become one of the interviewees).
Montana Meth Project
I really don't know much about that group, but they have produced some really cool anti-meth ads that can be viewed here. Although they have a little bit of a "Reefer Madness" feel to them, they are pretty powerful.
Remember kids, don't do drugs.
Although locking people up is the wrong way for government to accomplish that end.
Publicity Denied
Youth Fair recap in the Update: "The grand champion steer, shown by Roger Meeks of Alvord FFA, sold for $10,700. "
Since some person, business, or organization paid that sum of money primarily for publicity, it would be nice to know who it was.
