"When I'm in Wise County looking for Ringo, I always stop by and get me some chicken fried steak at K-Bobs - with extra gravy."

(Yep, really her.)

Who Says I Don't Have A Soft Spot?

An email I just received:

Hello Mr. Green,

My dog, Ringo, has been missing since 8 o'clock on July 3rd (old downtown Rhome area). Since so many people see your website, I thought maybe you would post his picture. I've had this dog for 10 years. His name is Ringo. He is a white Shih Tzu with brindle/grey ears. He has NEVER wandered off like this. I am offering a 250 dollar reward for anyone who finds and returns him to me. My cell number is [deleted - email me at my email address]. His photo is attached.
Thanks,

Diana

Legal Tired Head

The law had been that you couldn't have a license plate frame that so much as covered one letter of "Texas" or even one of those stars surrounding it.

So the legislature fixed it this session. But how a simple problem needs a simple solution did not happen. Look at this mess of the new law. (Strikeouts mean words deleted and underline means words added.) Uh, whenever a law makes it illegal to do something but only if you "significantly" do it, you've got a bad law.

I Got Your Contingency Fee

Security video of an unhappy personal injury claimant trying to throw a (his?) female lawyer over a balcony. It happens pretty fast here. But I love the other guy who, in his effort to "assist" her, never drops the folder/briefcase that he keeps under one arm.

Haltom City Is Cursed

I wish this picture was bigger. That house is going down sooner or later. What a nightmare. The nightmare that is Haltom City.

And did you guys catch the footage of the westbound lanes Loop 820 near Rufe Snow being shut down Tuesday evening due to flooding? Yep. Right by Haltom City.

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.

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.."
