Now That Makes Us Speculate

So we have a guy found dead in closet in a Rhome middle school. The Messenger says he had a bag over his head, and the Star-Telegram says it appears to be "accidental." If I had to guess, I would. But I'm not. Know what I'm saying? Edit: Shocking - The Messenger will report tomorrow that the guy was a registered sex offender. (Oddly, they left it out of the Update but made it a front page story in the paper.)

Top 10 Reasons Everyone Hates Texas

I'm still trying to decide if this is funny, but I think it is. And a lot of work went into creating it (it starts of with the David Letterman logo but it's clearly not a David Letterman production.)

Just Curious

Saw this elsewhere:

I've been lucky enough to drive to Houston 4 times over the last 6 weeks. On all 4 trips, I've passed flat-bed trucks heading north on 45 carrying long, white, metal objects that I can best describe as looking like airplane wings. Does anyone know what I'm seeing?

I've seen the same thing coming through Decatur - but have never been quick enough to snap a picture. I think they are the blades for a wind turbine used for electricity purposes. But I could be wrong.

Decatur's Gone Festive

Real hay and real pumpkins around the square this morning? It's enough to make a guy think it's fall if it weren't 90+ degrees outside.

Made Me Laugh

One Of My Law Enforcement . . .

. . . buddies (yep, I do have some) sent me this video of a DWI/Lawnmower/Take Down. It's worth a look.

Location. Location. Location.

Missed this in the Star Telegram this morning.

Edit: As a reader pointed out, there was also a story about the closing of K-Bobs.

Running Man

I started watching Roots this weekend (and at 40 minute intervals on my treadmill, this is going to take a while.)

As I was beginning to question the historical accuracy of the opening scenes, I was more surprised by the appearance of one O.J. Simpson. Yep, there he was running after 15 year old Kunta Kinte.

On Mondays . . .

. . . we can all use some cheering up.

More Chaos

I know nothing about kids or what kids like. But even a guy like me keeps hearing about "Hannah Montana", and I also hear she is coming to Fort Worth. I looked at Stubhub to see the price of tickets on the scalper marker. (Random screenshot above.) Oh, my.

Chaos

I'm getting bombarded with emails about the long-time manager of the Decatur Walmart leaving his position.

That's news because Wise County revolves around Walmart. After all, it is our Vatican.

(Be nice with the comments.)
