People Are Crazy

A couple of stories from the headlines.

I'm So Confused

The State of Texas wants your email address before it will let you view eight survelliance cameras which, presumably, will capture images of immigrants scampering across the border.

And Speaking of Jacksboro . . .

. . . I love this sign. (As a boy, I was at Tiger Stadium in 1971 for the bi-district game against Bridgeport.)

That's Highway 380?

These were taken between Runaway Bay and Jacksboro this morning, and it's kind of a weird phenomenon. The only place between the two where the trees are gorgeous is at the hill which causes the steep incline as you head west. It may be just a quarter of a mile of beauty, and then it stops.

Off To Jacksboro

I went there the other day and noticed the trees were changing colors in a beautiful way. I'll try and take some pics as I drive down the highway and post them later. It's called multi-tasking.

Could There Be More Crap On That Home Page?

It looks like the web site of the Dallas Morning news has been redesigned. It's still as wheels off as ever.

Where Will I Spend It All?

I finally found out my final property tax bill yesterday. The results: My school property tax was reduced by 6.29%. Trust me, that isn't the $2,000 savings his campaign ads tell me.

Child Found Lost In Wise County

Fox 4 News had a story tonight on a child found today on a rural road in Wise County. Notes: - Our Sheriff makes another appearance (who is his press agent? - he/she is a genius) - It is a crying shame anyone has to live in the conditions shown - The guy that found her said, "I'm just glad I came along" - You know, I was going to give him a little grief about that but, after a few seconds thought, I agree. The news story on youtube is here.

I Suddenly . . .

. . . am hungry for pancakes and waffles. (Although that youtube.com clip might make you insane - I'm not sure.)

One More Halloween Pic

And I post this simply as a public service: You could trip if you don't watch where you are walking. Girls, be careful out there.

Say What?

There are stories today about a hearing in Collin County regarding the attempt to free Michael Blair (based upon DNA evidence) who was convicted in the 1993 killing of a 7-year-old Plano girl. Two paragraphs jumped out at me in the Channel 8 story.

The district attorney also approved a hearing to bring in Charles Linch, a forensic analyst who served as a witness for the State in Blair's [previous] trial, for a meeting with defense attorneys. Linch, who now lives in Virginia, had been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital several months before his testimony at the 1994 trial, and defense attorneys say his mental condition tainted his testimony, which ultimately helped convict Blair.

Say what? The State used a witness that had been committed to the nut house? That's a new one for me.

Then there was this:

Even if Blair were granted a new trial and cleared, he would never be freed from prison because he is serving three consecutive life sentences for sex crimes involving children.

He's never getting out - why waste our time - although I suppose history deserves to know whether he is the killer or not.

Been A Rough Couple Of Weeks . . .

. . . for Republican congressmen. Story. (Hint: It's never a good sign when the headline reads:"Rep. Paying Ex-Mistress About $500K")

I Ordered This Print A Month Ago

And now it is hanging on my office wall. So far I've got lots of confused looks.
