Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts
- This is weird: The man who found the dead teenager last June at his doorstep in the Tanglewood area of Fort Worth (it was later determined she was part of a botched robbery), was found dead himself in a burning car on Sunday. It would have been the deceased teenager's birthday.
- The Mavericks beat the Lakers last night. I think I know why: Look at how Steve Nash showed up for the game. I don't think a bow tie and a purse is a good look even for LA.
- What happened to the churches that would put on the controversial "Hell Night" open house on Halloween?
- I came home to see about 50 cobwebs made out of straight pretzels last night spread out all over the countertops. Apparently the were going to be "glued" together with some type of chocolate. The last I checked, the plan had gone horribly wrong.
- You would think the Jersey Shore cast would show up at the destroyed boardwalk along the Jersey shore for a photo op. It's too soon, but those guys would do it.
- I've got a neighbor who has a trailer so packed full of stuff for deer season you would swear he was planning for war.
- I've got no desire to shoot a deer.
- Still the funniest Halloween story. I had a buddy who ran out of candy but had one straggler ring the door bell late. My buddy just dropped a bunch of change in the kid's bag which prompted the kid to run to the front of the porch and scream, "He's giving away money!!!" His friends came out of the woodwork.
- When I was a kid on Halloween. I threw eggs at a state trooper. Heck, you'd get arrested for aggravated assault these days for doing that. (Statute of limitations has passed.)
- Trick or Treating has made a comeback in the last ten years, hasn't it? At one point it seemed that the tradition had basically died out.
- Yeah, the senior-citizens-cussing commercial put out by moveon.org is offensive but the only reason we know about it is because every conservative talk radio and tv show played it yesterday. (But it was an awkward moment on Hannity last night because you could hear one of the stage crew laugh about it when they quickly cut back to a live shot of Hannity after the the commercial was played.)
- I'm not sure I knew meteorologist Rebecca Miller was at Channel 33 but she announced she's leaving that station due to a "new format."
- The Forest Hill pastor murder is one crazy story. But there was an odd twist last night when I heard the janitor interviewed who said he was also attacked with the electric guitar but "when he came to" he found the pastor was already dead. I think people get knocked out and "come to" far more in the movies than in real life.

Oh. No. It Lives.
Give me Captain Kirk any day. He'd have that universe cleaned up before you can say "phasers on stun."
Story.
Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts
- I can't decide if Sandy was a huge news story or over-hyped because it involves the East coast.
- But 50 homes burning in Queens this morning seems to be a big story that isn't getting as much coverage as it should.
- New Jersey governor Chris Christie was throwing the Atlantic City mayor under the bus for not ordering an evacuation. He's a born showman.
- That dangling crane in NYC was really scary looking especially when it started swaying in the evening hours.
- Real vs. Fake photos of damage from Sandy.
- Just a week after a man was given the death penalty for the murder of a pastor at a church, we had another pastor in the metroplex murdered at a church yesterday. And he was beaten to death with a electric guitar.
- It's just too easy to make a Mavericks prediction this year.
- I'm still awaiting my blood sugar results but I feel like a kid when Mrs. LL leaves the house and orders, "Don't eat any sugar while I'm gone."
- And now I can't find my blood pressure medicine. I'm thinking of blaming the Family Cat who loves to play hockey in the middle of the night with anything that rattles.
- I wonder how long of a leash Jerry Jones will give Jason Garrett? I'd think through the end of next season at the very least.
- Justin Bieber was at the AAC last night but The Ticket interviewed a gaggle of girls that showed up at the arena before 2:00 p.m. It was mind numbing.

Hurricane Sandy: America's Cross Section
Someone Always Has To Do A Bit
Meanwhile, At The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
- America loves a hurricane.
- Video of waves of Hurricane Sandy already hitting the Jersey shore. Wow.
- What a bizarre Cowboy game. Jason Witten catches no passes in the first quarter and then 18 in the following three, Romo throws four interceptions, and Dez Bryant remains the dumbest man in America.
- Unless I dreamed it, I think we have three baby bunnies in Green Manor.
- Mrs. LL was a chaperon on a band trip this weekend. She got home at 4:00 a.m. on Sunday and was delirious. And by "delirious", I mean she would not stop talking.
- Fort Worth police continue the streak of shooting civilians going.
- Kenny Chesney will perform at halftime at Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving. I had forgotten that he was briefly married to Renée Zellweger.
- The moon this morning was fantastic.
- I watched Drive this weekend. Huge meh.
- I couldn't find my phone last night or this morning. Huge problem.
- I also went crazy and watched the first eight episodes of Breaking Bad. You know, that's pretty good stuff.
- I don't know if the story will have legs, but the report of the trooper who shot at a vehicle from a helicopter is beginning to get some news coverage. It should.

Ominous Note For Decatur For The Big Sandy Battle
The NFL Channel this week has been running a documentary on the old video football game called "Techno Bowl". Since I never played (I think it was actually after my time), I only casually watched the first couple of minutes. But lo and behold, the name of former Bridgeport, TCU, and NY Jet great Kyle Clifton popped up on the screen in the first few minutes.
