Crime In Grapevine Must Be Bad

Why else would they need a "Mobile Command Center" this big? (Spotted outside of Armando's at lunch).

What A Hang Over Looks Like

Who Knew

9 of 12 Wise County residents polled referred generically to a soft drink as a "coke". Now you know.

Ambulance Talk

The Ticket was discussing the 40th anniversary of the UT Tower shootings (and, man, the new issue of Texas Monthly sounds fascinating), and they mentioned that the ambulances involved in the case were run by funeral homes. You know, as a boy in Bridgeport, I remember Hawkins funeral home being dispatched to traffic accidents. I had forgotten that odd bit of history.

Legal Stuff

I just think this is weird. Scenerio: Guy gets drunk, drives, and kills a pastor's son. The State prosecutes the guy for Intoxication Manslaughter. That's the criminal case. The pastor sues the establishment that sold the guy the alcohol. That's the civil case. The prosecutor (who is the same one that prosecuted Rebecca Simpson) cuts a deal in the criminal case for 12 years in the pen for the defendant. Here is the weird part: As part of the criminal plea bargain, the drunk driver agreed to testify in the civil suit against the establishment that the pastor is suing. Net result: This will help the pastor get a big bag of money. You never see civil and criminal cases get mixed together like that.

Funny Emails

I hate the funny email. I hate the joke email. I hate most emails. But I got this one today which sucked me in. 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!
