Riding Dirty

What's up with the crappy "paving" job done on some of the streets in Decatur? This street (right off the courthouse square) is two weeks post having it done and it creates more dust than a back road in Cottondale.

Dog Pile

Now the relatively famous "Pink Dome" political blog in Austin has jumped on the "AE" controvery.

Decatur Gang Land

I can never really picture gangs at Decatur High School. Maybe a West Side Story kind of gang, but not gangsta gangs. (Blurb from Update.)

Hey Batttttaaaaa

I never watch baseball but I finally get interested in the 7th inning of a championship series. It's 10:36 and I'm dialed in to Mets/Cardinals. But I can't concentrate due to the music being played over the Shea Stadium public address system. I just heard Naughty By Nature's "O.P.P."

Hey, Now......Uh.....(Tapping Brakes).... Uh

I Don't Know

I Keep Telling You . . .

. . . the Republicans govern by the Politics of Fear. And now they are at it again.

Friday Night Lights

The TV show by that name looks pretty good (I've spent a few minutes with it), but I'm afraid it won't be around for long. The households in DFW viewing it and its competition from Tuesday: Friday Night Lights: 73,700 homes Dancing with the Stars: 307,020 homes NCIS: 176,120 homes Gilmore Girls: 85,680 homes Source.

Oh, My

The couple on the left were featured in a couple of stories last year (when this photo was taken) after they decided to stick it out in post-Katrina New Orleans. Their relationship did not turn out very well.

Unfortunate

Circa 1960 television commercial.

Wig what?

Dear Republican Women,

I've found a Democrat you can support.

Less Than 18 Hours Before The Scheduled Execution

Let's Bring Down The Lights For A Moment

Those that know me the best know that I have a sappy side. It can take a little work to get there but, yeah, that side of me exists. And tonight I got reminded of that. Someone sends me by email of an article written by Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly and a link to a youtube video to view after I read it. No way I'm wasting my time on that, I thought. Anyway, the skeptical side of me figured it was a hoax anyway so I went to snopes.com to verify my suspicions. It wasn't a hoax. You can read the article here (where I went to verify the story.) Although there is a youtube.com link located there, the video my buddy sent me is here. Yeah, it will take you a couple of minutes to read and a couple of minutes to view, but you sappy ones out there will thank me.

Hey, Now

A Washington State fan from last weekend. (Although this guy almost took her place.)

$59,550,000

. . . is the price for this home in Denton. I hope it is not a fixer-upper. (If I was smart enough to compute the annual property taxes, I would. But I know there are a couple of you out there with real big brains.)

Worst Halloween Outfit . . .
