- My new dry cleaning lady was crazily cheery yesterday. Then she volunteered that she had been working since 5:00 a.m. since going to her first job at McDonald's (it was after 6:00 p.m. when I came in contact with her.)
- I bet neither job offers health care, and I bet she can't afford it on her own. But we dare wouldn't want to help her, would we?
- Some commenter referred to the tone in one of my posts as "acerbic" yesterday. I'll admit it: I had to look it up.
- Crazy story of a man, one angry wife, three angry mistresses (pics in link), and Krazy Glue. Oh, my.
- There was some news yesterday about the potential of higher income taxes on the middle class, but Obama backed off some of the comments made by others to that effect over the weekend. If that were to occur -- in complete violation of his campaign promise -- I'd turn on the President in a New York Minute.
- Channel 5 News ran a 15 second story on the new, yet overcrowded, Wise County Animal Shelter. It sounded like they just read yesterday's Update.
- HBO has been showing Artificial Intelligence: A.I. over the last week. That is one bad movie. (But I noticed that Entourage's Adrian Grenier made a brief appearance.)
- I always get a kick of seeing someone in a movie, knowing I've seen them before, and then finally giving up and checking iMDB (which has been around for as long as I can remember.)
- I've started back jogging in the morning before dawn. It's kind of creepy.
- Eight months into the Obama administration, we still don't have an appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas. And I suspect similar positions across the nation remain vacant. Odd.
- Another conservative Republican lawmaker. Another affair. He was definitely trying to get younger in that position.
- The Internets had videos yesterday of angry conservatives disrupting Congressional town hall meetings (i.e. Lloyd Doggett, Arlen Specter). You know, they look more like staged, planned attacks than honest to goodness angry constituents. Something's fishy.
- Over three years ago I said "Radio Shack" should change its name. Now they are doing it. I wonder how much they paid a consultant for the same advice?
- The evidence used to convict the former Denton County police investigator of murder seemed to a little "iffy." And there are some extremely weird twists and turns in the case.
- And the prosecutors in the case were also husband and wife. That would drive me nuts. (And I know they are readers of this blog. Shout out.)
- I just discovered I've been giving out the wrong address for my office for years (I've been saying "301" when it's really "303".)
Edit: It has been called to my attention that today is called "Tuesday". But "Thursday" sounds so good that I really don't feel like changing it.
