Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

  • Reporters on the side of the road now are required to wear yellow reflective vests per "federal regulations"? (That's what Fox 4 told me.)
  • There is a lot of junk bought during Christmas-time
  • If I'm driving down the road in freezing temperatures and it starts misting, I get pretty concerned in a hurry.
  • Freezing to death would be near the top of my list on ways I don't want to go out.(And I've got a pretty long list.)
  • Jeff Bolton of KLIF said at 6:30 this morning there had been "thousands of accidents [pause] . . . at least hundreds of accidents" in the metroplex this morning. When some radio talk show host fires off a statement of fact which I know that he is making up, I tend not to believe anything else that comes out of his mouth.
  • I listen to him during the many, manycommercial breaks from The Ticket.
  • Just got my first high def/internet bill and it was over $300. Ugh. But I think it includes two months as well as some installation charges.
  • I'm a fan of gloves. I think gloves make all the difference in the world.
  • I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but I had never heard Robert Earl Keene's "Merry Christmas From The Family" until yesterday.
  • Considering the uncomfortable "mexican" line in the song, I'm reminded that one of my friends is hispanic but he doesn't know any Spanish. I tell him he's in "heritage denial."
  • I wonder what the percentage of mothers love their children more than their husband? I bet it shockingly high.
  • Ted Nugent played the National Anthem on his guitar at the Cowboy's game on Sunday night. He didn't sing it, just played it. I don't think a liberal hippie could get away with that, but he can --- he kills animals with a bow which endears him to Texans everywhere.
  • Rush Limbaugh showed up at the game, too. I heard him talking about it yesterday and how he had called a good friend before the weekend to find a good restaurant in Dallas. He's that concerned about food that he starts thinking about it days before his arrival.
  • I'm not sure why far more than half of all my clients tell me the cops, upon a traffic stop, asked for their "license and registration."
  • Being on a city council seems like one of the worst jobs that you can have.
  • Have you seen the commercial for Jack FM where the goofy looking guy dances to different styles of music. I don't get it. He can't dance and he's not funny.
  • Remember foster moms, don't have the baby of your foster son. The Bible and the Texas Penal Code say it's wrong.
  • The fat guy showing his booty from Bridgeport yesterday that I posted? I thought that was a candid camera moment but I might have been wrong. If it was posed, I wouldn't have posted it.
  • Alcohol seems to be at every event and every function.
  • Congress decides not to bail out the car makers but the White House decides it'll use the previous financial institution bailout money to do so? I'm not sure I understand that three branches of government thingy anymore.
  • I promise I'll get my funny mood back.
