Not A Real Easy Way Around That

Normally you could get around it by taking Business 81/287 to the east of Decatur but the access to 287 has been blocked due to ongoing construction. Traffic at 4:48 p.m.:


Edit: 5:17 traffic rerouted to Boyd which backed up FM 730:

Random Index TV Ad


Greatness. Not only will the TV serve as a babysitter for your kids, it only costs you 14.5 cents an hour (not sure I've ever heard of justifying the cost of a TV in that manner.)

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • I had to "babysit" the Junior In The House last night because she had a root canal and, according to Mrs. LL who had to go to a softball game, "She's all doped up on valium." Ummkay. Before I got home I got the report that, "She put your reading glasses on and, in a Southern drawl, announced, 'I do declare!!!!'"  I was very nervous, but all went well. 
  • Although she got to control the TV, so I had to watch about four episodes of some show about a family with nineteen kids. (Not bad by the way.)
  • Given the choice of two dead journalists vs. 3,500 dead U.S. soldiers, I'll take the former. 
  • Deion Sander's home in Prosper finally sold after being on the market forever.  The purchaser plans to turn the property into a subdivision -- a subdivision with, I guess, one huge house right in the middle of it. 
  • I watched the scene of Breaking Bad last night where the Mexican brothers ambush Hank in the parking lot. Man, that show was so well done. 
  • Denver Bronco Wes Welker was suspended four games for amphetamine use. Just like Cowboy Orlando Scandrick, he took X but it was laced with amphetamine.  The Dallas Observer did a post on this problem a couple of years back entitled  "Don't Panic, But There's Probably Meth in Your Ecstasy". (But at least we know why Welker looked high and was handing out $100 at the Kentucky Derby.)
  • It's been a while (and it's up in Denison), but we have a parked squad car hit this morning. Pic. 
  • We've done everything we can to find the owners of Family Pup #2. Flyers. Every possible message board and web site. And we got nothing. This is a well groomed and well trained dog. I actually caught the thing when some sweet gal stopped and got out of her car and the pup jumped in her car like she was going for a ride. It just seems odd we can't find the owner. Mrs. LL thinks the little thing was dumped. I don't know what to think. 
  • Wendy Davis was on The Ticket this morning. It was funny because, as politicians do, once you ask them a question they will talk and talk and talk. Gordon Keith interrupted her by saying, "This sounds like a filibuster." I'll be dang, she stopped talking. They ended the interview asking her what she thought about the pics of Jerry Jones with the strippers and what she thought the Cowboys' record would be. She was very uncomfortable. 
  • Is there any question that George P. Bush looked in the mirror as a teenager and thought, "Hey, my last name is Bush!!"

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts



  • Rick Perry's official Twitter account had an offensive post this weekend which was taken down. I'm guessing some intern and Young Republican Club President got fired. 
  • When New Family Pup #2 met The Family Cat they got nose to nose and stared at each other. And then both walked away. No violence. (Yep, still have the new dog.)
  • I posted that "Game Warden Harassment" pic (below) on a Baylor message board. I forgot that most Baylor fans are Sean Hannity clones. I got killed with replies like, "I'm glad they were there to protect us." Sheesh.  I almost went out and bought a burnt orange shirt in protest. 
  • "You wouldn't think that it it happened to one of your family members" is a dumb argument.
  • That ESPN commercial with Kenny Chesney is funny.  
  • Over 10 years ago I tore my right Achilles. It's been fine ever since surgery. Except over the last two weeks it has begun to hurt. I had to walk back to the house at the halfway point in my jog yesterday. 
  • Sports: (1) UT quarterback David Ash won't play this weekend because of a concussion. I hate it for the guy, but he is done. And I also hate to break it to the Evil Empire, but you are about to find out how horrible Tyrone Swoopes is. (2) I'm extremely worried about Baylor's Bryce Petty. How do you have two broken vertebrae and be considered "day to day? If Art Briles doesn't sit him this weekend then I'm worried about Art Briles sanity. (3) Hey, you parents want your little Johnny to be a football star? Jackson Jeffcoat, Lache Seastrunk and Ahmad Dixon were all cut this weekend. (4) While I was at Game Day, I ran into an older Baylor fan who was there with his granddaughter. We started talking and for some reason I asked him, "Do you remember that California game?" He replies with, "I was there." I'm now interested beyond belief. But then he wanders off. People wander off on me a lot. (5) I thought UNT would hang with UT this weekend, but I didn't know UNT didn't have an offense. 
  • It took me forever to find a scalper at the Baylor game on Sunday (there were only eight tickets left on Stubhub at outrageous prices.) I negotiated with the guy and he knocked $10 off. He then said he would accept a $10 tip. Funny. All of a sudden we hit it off and I ended up tipping him $20. Weirdest business transaction ever. 
  • How did I miss this nude celebrity pic scandal?
  • The concept (from the Update) that Bridgeport's class of 1994 having its twenty year reunion is mind boggling. 
  • Whenever someone posts a lot of Bible verses or inspirational quotes on Facebook or Twitter, it's a pretty good bet they are in a crisis. 
  • Chuck Canterbury of the "National Fraternal Order Of Police" was on WBAP this morning and said, "You know, police have a privacy right under the Fourth Amendment, too."  He might want to read that text again. (And that 6:50 WBAP segment where Hal Jay and Brian Estridge try to do an interview is a daily Dumb and Dumber segment.)
  • Gregg Abbott backed out of his statewide televised debate with Wendy Davis and made the announcement on a Friday before Labor Day weekend. That has coward written all over it. 
  • "DWI arrests grow 40 percent in six years in Odessa." Police officer Paul Hurley, with his two years of experience, might want to rethink that "automatic" blood draw. 
  • I'm in a good mood. Promise.

  • What a heck of a fire and death. But what an odd note about the $400.
  • Shootin' Blind can even strong arm a Congressman.
  • I had a classmate with the same last name as the person in the truck accident. I wonder.
  • Take a look at those Bridgeport/Jacksboro football stats. Not exactly the spread offense back in the day.
