Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• Stumbled across Boston Legal last night. I know it's not a drama, but those courtroom scenes were gawd awful.
• Whatever happen to the Adkins Diet?
• When I jog, I always cross the street when I approach a person walking a dog. I just don't trust those mutts not to take a bite out of my leg.
• I have my own self-defined "censor level" as to what pics or subjects I'll post. Then I watch network TV and realize they have much worse stuff on there at 7:00 p.m. than I do at any time
• Can I say again what a fan of GPS I am?
• On the Ticket this morning on why Obama may not win the election because of hidden racism that will only come to light with a secret ballot: "Texas still has that option: Straight Democrat. Straight Republican. Or Straight White."
• In less than 10 years, everyone of us will voluntarily carry some device that will track our global position on the Internet. At first we'll be able to designate who has that information (that loving spouse or girlfriend, or both). Twenty years later, our driver's license will be the GPS tracking device. (And you won't have to carry it, but the federal government will not provide highway funds to any state that doesn't make it a criminal offense to not carry a driver's license.)
• Apple is to announce a new/updated line of notebooks today. I'm seriously considering a Mac.
• Temporary Cowboy QB Brad Johnson is about to become the business end of a Sack Machine.
• Christina Aguilera is about back to full Hawt Mode. That's been a long wait since she had a baby in her belly. (But I think the "fishnet stocking" headline is misleading. I'm suing.)
• I haven't seen a Three Stooges episode in forever.
• My satellite box just went on the blink. I can't get half the stations.
• I'm going to work the term "no cavorting" into a a conversation. (Saw Johnny Drama use it on Entourage this weekend.)
• In this day and time, isn't there a better way to trade stocks than a bunch of guy's yelling at each other on the floor of the stock exchange?
• I don't have my screen shot capture device set up, but Channel 5's lead story last night was about a 12 year old who had gathered 300 names opposing Six Flags' request to sell beer at the amusement park. A video close-up of the petition showed she spelled alcohol as "alchol" in the title.
• I was surprised to learn that this week is the first time in 24 years that the Texas Longhorns have been ranked #1 in the regular season polls.
• I said that the OU/Texas fans seemed respectful outside of the stadium. Inside the stadium it was F Bomb city.
• Remember the presumption of innocence while you read this story about a former Boyd High School football star.
• Edit: I won't miss him, but John Madden is taking the day off next Sunday. That will break his streak of 476 games.
