Get Me This Pug In A Ball Pit!!



That's some crazy production value on this video. Crazy music. Different camera angles. And then we have silence and stillness from the pup. I was certain that the music with the dog going crazy was going to fire up again.

And I'd pay money to see this dog unleashed about thirty feet from a huge ball pit. The little thing would take a huge flying leap into the middle of it. It'd probably take thirty minutes to find him at the bottom of it.

A Very Bridgeport Kind Of Post

These are cheerleaders for the Pee Wee teams in 1972.  And this is right in my wheelhouse. I know a lot of them, but some of them I can no longer place. If any of you Bridgeport old-timers want to try naming them, have had it.  Many of them are still in the area.

  • Like how all the guys checking out the pool are wearing ties.
  • That deep end was (is) deep. Maybe 12' or more. And that high diving board was a spring board.
  • Check out those pool rules. No one under six allowed without an adult!!!!!
  • What's that "P.C." reference for the ordinance?
And this is what the pool looks like on opening day:

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts


  • Wendy Davis' interview on The Ticket is getting widely panned. And she did sound like she was just going through the motions. Maybe she is. 
  • Matt Lauer now gets free helicopter rides to and from his gig at The Today Show from his house in The Hamptons. Now that literally is high tone. 
  • UT coach Charlie Strong suspended two starting linemen yesterday for "violating team rules." . His reign is either going to be an absolute success or an absolute disaster. 
  • If Google Maps was correct yesterday, traffic was at a standstill from 114 in Boyd all the way to 287 in Decatur after traffic was diverted. 
  • That was a big wreck on 287, but earlier in the day another truck wreck on 287 near Bowie left one man dead. 
  • There has to be some Klan members who post in the comment section. Heck, maybe even a Grand Dragon. 
  • Joe Biden got a lot of press yesterday after saying we will track ISIS down "to the gates of Hell."  I thought that sounded familiar and, sure enough, he used it in the VP debate in 2012.
  • Ticket Fans: The morning Ticket Ticker guy got fired.  
  • As of yesterday, Lake Bridgeport officially crossed the 23 feet low level. 
  • If the now dead Frisco woman was innocent (and all evidence indicates she was) and the stress of the criminal investigation that unfairly would not end caused one of them to snap and kill the other, Frisco police have blood on their hands.

Wow!!!!!! And Horrible!!!!


 BREAKING: 2 bodies found at the Frisco home of Arnav Dhawan- the 10 yr old found dead in March.




This is the case I've been mentioning from time to time.

Not A Real Easy Way Around That


Link.

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!!"
