Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• OK, the Classifieds section on wisecounty.com crashed a few months back. Well, they are back up and running in a new and improved software package. There will still be some bugs and it'll take a while to repopulate it, but check it out.
• I can't tell you how many emails I got asking me about them.
• Anybody remember Joe Bob Brooks movie reviews? Edit: Yep, screwed the name up.
• Looking at ponds or lakes on mornings like this is cool because there's a huge mist of steam coming off of them. At least it looks like steam.
• A female Wise Countian is camping in the Grand Canyon this week. She ran into a ..... well, take a look. Oh, my.
• I ate at the Firehouse Deli (I think that's what it is called) yesterday off of Western Center Boulevard. Good stuff. But they've got the craziest painting in there -- I took a pic and will post it later.
• I'm forever boycotting the Quizno's off of Western Center because it is nasty. And they never had the sauce squirt bottles filled.
• You know your in a high tone place when they have "squirt bottles" of special sauce.
• The Byron Nelson golf tournament is this weekend but I don't think anyone cares anymore. And didn't the Colonial used to be played on Memorial Day weekend?
• I think the Swine Flu paranoia is trying to flare up again.
• The grand jury in Wise County returned 97 indictments last Thursday. And this comes on the heels of the last two meetings which produced over 150 indictments. When I took over as DA in 1993, I bet there weren't 50 cases pending on the docket.
• When you know your life has gone horribly wrong: "A Frisco man is scheduled to go on trial today for having unprotected sex with several women without telling them he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS." (And I predict the comments on that DMN link will get crazy.)
• Oil is approaching $60 a barrel. Gas prices are rising. This is not a good.
• After over a year of use, I'm still convinced that the iPhone is the greatest invention ever.
• Anybody got any opinions on the Infiniti G37?
• Some girls at the courthouse said I should do a post of "What kind of car should I buy" because they thought the results would be funny.
• Forgot to mention about my drive to Waco: Hasn't I-35 been under construction for the last 30 years.
• Frisbee golf looks kind of fun. Not very productive, but fun.
• There's talk of making the State Fair midway a year round affair? Scott Sams on the Channel 11 morning show said it would be a good idea, "because we could run down there and get a Fletcher's corny dog all year long." The other anchor uttered an "Oh, yeah!!" Puhleeze.
• Fox Sports "power rankings" for Major League Baseball: Look who is #3. But let's not buy World Series tickets just yet.
• I don't know how I write this stuff every day.
