Slow Posting Day
Hectic day: Sitting #2 on the trial docket in the County Court this morning only to be released to run to Jacksboro to do a plea on a third degree felony.
I thought about running by Runaway Bay to see the burned down condos but didn't.

Vanished
Midnight Express
Yet another movie I rented based upon the fact it's supposed to be a classic.
The Plot: Based upon a true story, a guy gets thrown into a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of the country.
Notable: Directed by Oliver Stone and the co-star is a very lean and very young Randy Quaid.
Why the name?: The only way to get out of prison is the Midnight Express - a name for "escape" - but as one of the characters says, "It doesn't run through here."
Lead actor trivia: A guy named Brad Davis was the star and did a great job. A little research revealed that he took his own life in the 1990s by assisted suicide after contracting AIDS.
Overall rating: Outstanding.

The Gaylord Texan Has A Nightclub?
Described as: "Glass Cactus" nightclub is a nearly $16 million, 39,000 square-foot venue, including 13,000 square feet of decking, overlooking Lake Grapevine. Glass Cactus will offer nightly live entertainment, dancing, creative cocktails, and "club cuisine".
I was able to find these two pics of it.
Paradise Makes The DMN Home Page . . .
. . . (in a sad way) as the paper covers the dangers of 18 wheelers.
