Uh . . . .

. . . oh.

Arby's Is Now Open In Decatur

Cow meat is being devoured by Wise Countians in biblical proportions. (Only 26 grams of fat in that baby according to the Arby's web site. And I think that is extremely conservative.)

For Some Reason . . .

. . . I have Rush Limbaugh on in the background. Boring.

But I was amused how he didn't think Al Gore's Live Earth concert included any "A List" performers. So I looked to see who was on the bill: Fall Out Boy, Bon Jovi, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Akon, Dave Matthews Band, Kelly Clarkson, Ludacris, Melissa Etheridge, Kanye West, Smashing Pumpkins, Rihanna, AFI and The Police. (And that's just in New Jersey alone.)

Yep, Rush, you're right. But Mel Torme died a few years back. What an idiot.

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.

Lindsay Says,

"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.
