Now That Is Horrible

This bus went off the overpass in Huntsville, Alabama today killing two. It's amazing more weren't killed. Can you imagine the horror of seeing that thing go off the side of the bridge? Aerial shots here and here.

I Found My New Trial Suit

Kramer Loses It

This will probably hit the news shows over the next couple of days. Michael Richards lost it on stage this weekend and shouted the "n word" at some hecklers. AP has the story here. Youtube.com has it here. (And it is triple offensive for language.) The whole thing is completely bizarre.

The Traffic Control Signal . . .

Speed Traps

Fox 4 News will do a segment tonight on the areas "10 Worst Speed Traps." Place your bets. I'm putting down $10 on Runaway Bay to make the list.

Bad Parenting - Part 2

I don't know anything about the pic. It may be a fake gun. I have no idea. But I warn you might be get a little uneasy looking at this.

Boyd's Own . . .

. . . Greg "The Hammer" Williams was on Channel 4 tonight. The pocket handkerchief earns him a post.

A Moment Of Reflection

This blogging stuff is silly. But in looking around the Internet for funny and insightful stuff, I stumbled across someone doing pretty much the same thing I do. He calls his blog "Bag Of Nothing" which is a phrase stolen from the radio station The Ticket. It simply means there's nothing exciting going on in one's life. Someone will ask me "What's going on?" and sometimes I'll reply "I got a big bag of nothing." The name of his blog amused me enough to check in on it frequently. It was good stuff. I would steal from it left and right. He'd do the same. It was a mutual respect. But let me change directions. About five days ago he abruptly wrote that his mother had fallen down a set of stairs and wasn't doing well. Frankly, although we are strangers, we ended up exchanging a couple of emails over the last couple of days. And then tonight I learn that his mother had passed away. The Internet is a strange world. I don't know my real next door neighbor, but I know my cyber-neighbor, Keith, the creater of BagOfNothing.com. And I don't feel silly at all for shedding a few tears for his grief tonight.

At Least This Interests Me

The actor who played the quarterback in Friday Night Lights was also the little kid in Sling Blade. His name is Lucas Black for those interested.

Brush With Greatness

Tonight I was invited to, and attended, the premiere party for the Lifetime Movie Network show called "Inspector Mom." (Don't ask.) The event was at the Angelika Theater in Dallas (maybe my favorite movie theater anywhere) and it was pretty interesting: The show is filmed in Dallas and I was in a movie theater where the show's debut was being simulcast on the big screen. The audience was full of the actors and workers of the project who screamed with joy at every scene. The show's star, Danica McKellar - that would be Winnie of "The Wonder Years" - was in attendance. At one point I stood about three feet from her, and I'm fairly certain she was checking me out.

The "Huffing Story"

The Star Telegram now has the story about the Wise County kid that died due to "huffing" at a gas well. Here.

So I Heard That High School . . .

. . . playoff games would start at Texas Stadium today at 10:00 a.m. What a wacky time. So, loving anything unusual, I went.

Rumor Mill

There might be a story forthcoming about a public official in Wise County who was seen last night shooting a dog from a vehicle. Developing.

Oh, My

Abilene Wylie 36 Decatur 35 (Box Score) It looks like the last score was Abilene Wylie's 39 yard field goal, but I don't know how much time was left on the clock when that happened.
