Just A Reminder About 12/21/12
I'm not sure what location this is from, but they fear the Mayans.
(Side note: The Mayan city of Tikal discovered in a rain forest in Guatamala in 1848 looks really cool. And I've heard it is surrounded by a bunch of spider monkeys.)
Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts
- Dick's Sporting Goods has suspended semi-automatic rifle sales. Wow.
- The NRA took down their Facebook page yesterday. Courageous or cowardly?
- Prediction: New Dallas ISD Superintendent Mike Miles will be gone within 12 months. His inability to follow the rules and his arrogance once called out will be his downfall.
- The home invasion in Decatur yesterday (see Update) sounds fishy.
- It's the great Christina Aguilera's birthday.
- That's the best picture of Adam Lanza?
- Josh Hamilton might be slightly smarter than Dez Bryant but no one will ever question Bryant's effort. (And after Saturday's press conference, Hamilton needs to get some scene control over his wife.)
- In the 70s tomorrow with wind gusts up to 40. It is not beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
- The Stepkids In The House may be stepkids but they are good stepkids. Respectful and sweet. I kept waiting for an explosion that never came (knock on wood.)
- Prediction: The Dallas Cowboys will not make the playoffs.
- Great pro-gun caller on the Mark Davis show today: The Second Amendment is there to protect the citizenry from the government. All of the Bill of Rights are there not to protect us from each other but to protect us from government intrusion and over-reaching.
- "School Lockdown (Haltom City) Multiple PD officers are responding Code 3 to Birdville Elementary at 3126 Bewley for a reported person with a gun." Thirty minutes ago.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts
- There was a discussion this morning about shielding elementary school children from the news of the Connecticut shooting. Really? There's no way they wouldn't hear about it. Right?
- But there was no reference to the incident at the elementary school choir performance I went to on Friday night. I would think a vague reference followed by Silent Night would have been a nice touch. (They had time for it -- it lasted over an hour and a half.)
- After I wrote the above, I learned Saturday Night Live opened up with a children's choir singing Silent Night.
- And adults shouldn't at least talk about gun control? If not now, when?
- Will "Sandy Hook" have the same meaning as "Columbine"? I'm guessing the answer is yes.
- My favorite place in the world is my chair at home with the Family Pup beside me.
- I'm into Season Four of Breaking Bad. I think I end ever episode by saying, "This show is so well done."
- The Cowboys game was really entertaining. But why was Josh Brent on the sideline?
- Did you see the Danny Amendola's spike yesterday that almost blinded an old guy?
- Warmest December ever?
- Mrs. LL and I were sleeping bums on Saturday and it was fantastic.
- From the Update today: "Fiery Sunday". Why is "fiery" not spelled "firey"?
- The "Elf on the Shelf" bit is pretty cute. Still a little weird, but very cute.

Taking You Into The Weekend
I had a different post automatically set to go up but I deleted it. UNLV cheerleaders were cute but that just didn't seem to be appropriate on the day of the second worst mass killing in U.S. history. Especially with all of the children involved.
On that note, I'm set to attend an elementary school choir's Christmas pageant tonight. It may turn out to be the most emotional unscheduled memorial service ever. At least for me.
The Killer ....Edit: Not So Fast
Per CNN based upon this Slate tweet.
Edit: What a screw up. Online magazine Slate quoted CNN as naming Ryan Lanza the killer (which is true) but then Slate linked to a facebook page.
Amazingly, Lanza listed his "hometown" as the location of the shooting.
Edit: It looks like this is Lanza's real twitter account. Edit: Heck, now I'm not even sure that's correct. This is insane.
Edit: Good grief. Instant news is instant inaccuracy.
News From Earlier Just Took A Turn For The Worse
This will keep the gun debate going.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts
- The "Elf On The Shelf" has made an appearance at the house. I had never heard of this thing/concept until a couple of years ago, and the book I read last night (which I believe it is based upon) was copyrighted in 2005. Is it that recent?
- He was up on a ledge this morning about 12 feet high. This whole concept kind of creeps me out. It feels more like Chuckie instead of an elf.
- The dress code for the club that Josh Brent was in before the fatal crash is unusual. I support the "no Ed Hardy shirts" but the code for women seems pretty strict for the club scene. And, of course, I know club scenes.
- I would support a "no Ed Hardy shirts" policy for the planet Earth.
- Up at the courthouse yesterday, I heard someone mention they had received duplicate charges for a credit card transaction at Walmart. I looked at the bagofnothing.com blog this morning and he mentioned he had been double charged there as well. What's going on?
- Mitt Romney's "47 Percent" gaffe tops Time's Top Ten Quotes of the Year.
- The "no parole" aspect for the Continuous Sexual Abuse law in addition to the 25 year minimum is truly insane. Those that practice criminal law understand this, but it's almost impossible to get the public to agree unless a specific case were to be analyzed.
- Fox 4's Clarice Tinsley really irritates me.
- The Ranger's first home game next year will see Josh Hamilton return as a member of the Los Angeles Angels. The boos will come pouring down. I think.
- Who would have the lower SAT score: Josh Hamilton or Dez Bryant?
- The Freshman-In-The-House has to read Animal Farm for school. I kind of want to read it since it's been decades since I last have. I might actually understand it this time.
- But I did remember and proclaimed in the house, "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." I got a lot of stares.
- How many people attend a function for the Wise County Fossil, Rock and Mineral Society? Seriously.
- Saw someone comment to the effect of, "The less you are attached to things the less suffering you will have when those things change."
- I don't know deer, but that looks like a big deer shot in Wise County.

Josh Hamilton Really Is An Angel
The Rangers let crazy Josh Hamilton "get away" as the Los Angeles Angels sign him for 5 years and $125 million. The pastor of Dallas Prestonwood's Baptist Church (membership greater than 30,000) is not happy on twitter. (Above)
In other news, it's safe to go to the bathroom in Sherlock's now.
Oh, and a flashback from Josh's wife earlier this year in Sports Illustrated:
"Fans and reporters are so far off base with where we are," Katie says. "They'll say, 'Oh, Josh doesn't care about the money.' No, we don't really care about the money so much for us, but we have huge plans for this money and, no, it's not strictly for our bank account. It is for a hurting world."
So maybe Pastor Graham doesn't need to be upset at all.

The Wife Of Olympic Skier Bode Miller
But this isn't a Pick Me Up. You see, Bode and his wife decided to go golfing yesterday. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but Bode hit her in the face with what Mrs. Miller referred to as a "line drive."
Photo evidence? Oh, my.
