More Skiing. More Of Friend Laughing

New Pic Of 380 Bridge At Runaway Bay

Getting close. Click to enlarge. (Thanks for the email.)

Edit: You know, the more I look at it, I'm not sure it is the 380 bridge (although that is what was represented to me.) I thought it was taken from a position looking east but that electrical wire support doesn't look familiar. Maybe by the "old damn"? I'm confused.

Good Grief

I'm getting out my dress blues.

"When I take a break from rehab, I like to get my shoes at one of those resale shops in Bridgeport or Decatur. Those girls' hand-me-downs make me feel like I'm in Parent Trap all over again.."

Lake Bridgeport: Locked Up Tighter Than A Drum

Thanks to a reader for sending these in.

From The East Coast, To The West Coast

Lake Austin. Tricked Up.

I Don't Know

Jessica Simpson . . .

. . . wishes Wise County a Happy 4th of July. But if you go in the lake, we'll treat you like the Taliban and you won't even feel like an American.

They've Seized Pablo Escobar!!!!

From the home page of the Dallas Morning News:

Three men were arrested on Monday after the Coppell Police Department’s organized crime unit and SORT team executed a narcotics search warrant at a residence in the 700 block of Fairway Drive.

Police seized more than 179 grams of marijuana packaged for street level distribution as well as packaging and distribution materials and $630 in cash.

179 grams? That's a little over six ounces. Yep, six ounces of marijuana is now a major news story.

5 Seconds Of Joy

A five second youtube.com clip of a Ski Face Plant is here. I laugh at it every time because of his buddy laughing so hard. All my friends are exactly like that.

Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lake!

The Update is reporting that Lake Bridgeport is closed to watercraft traffic beginning at noon today.

Not True

I've been asked a couple of times about an email that is going around warning of new Texas traffic laws including one that requires "hands free" use of cell phones. Not true.

Scarlett Johansson May Not Be Hot Any More

This is upsetting. Very upsetting. There are some things in my life that I need constant. A hot Scarlett is one of those things.

Amarillo By Morning

I spent at least an hour and half last night dreaming that I was looking for the lyrics to Amarillo By Morning. I looked everywhere. For the sheet music. In hymnals (yep, hymnals). Een on the Internet. Never found them.

I'm losing it.

Edit: Folks, I appreciate all the links to the lyrics but I said I couldn't find them in my dream.

Eva Longoria Says,

"I'd have to go to Toast Ur Bunz in Decatur with my friend because you guys haven't seen the sun in two weeks."

Apocalypto

Ok, first of all, this film is great. It'll grab you and hold on for two hours and never let you go. It's bloody and violent. Very bloody and violent. The only thing I'm confused about is how this Mel Gibson produced movie was promoted as this high tone special insight into the Mayan culture. Baloney. We learn nothing about the Mayans, and the movie is the equivalent of Rambo Without Firearms. Except it's better than Rambo (actually named First Blood.)

Paris Still In Hawaii

But why do those rocks look like smoothed glass?

Crazy thought: Wouldn't the beach be great after 20+ days in jail? Wouldn't we all appreciate so much more?
