Politics

Looks like former Bridgeport resident Allen Vaught (who recently won election to the Texas Legislature) ended up on the Criminal Jurisprudence committee. That's a little odd since he's never practiced criminal law (with the exception of a couple of court appointments in Wise County.) But he'll do fine.

Follow Up

A couple of weeks ago I posted about a semi-hot New Orleans Saints fan who had an objectionable slogan on her, uh, T-shirt. Low and behold, she is now in Maxim magazine, and I'm now prepared to drop the "semi" from "semi-hot". (Link is here but do not click on it if you think Maxim is not good reading material for Wise County or if otherwise offended by scantily clad - but not nekid - women. You've been warned.)

Fox 4 News

The station's lead story tonight is that a Dallas police officer's 1984 Blazer was stolen (1984?) and, gasp, her service weapon was inside. The story included reaction from neighbors who were "on edge." Hey, it's not like plutonium was stolen.

A Father/Daughter Moment This Weekend

Car Agony

Weird. I got in my car this morning and turned the key and got nothing. Dead. Not a noise. Not even a click. Then 15 seconds later (with the key know stuck in the ignition), I at least get a slight surge of electricity. I turn the key and it starts. Amazingly, it started the rest of the day, but I hate the feeling of not being 100% sure that your car will start. And it's not a good sign that my temperature gauge showed it was 45 degrees outside today. Something aint' right. [Edit: Sheesh. Weatherman Ron Jackson just told me from my TV screen that the temperature didn't get out of the 40s today. It didn't seem that cold.]
