Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

Edit: Oops. I was informed I already posted this one. Let's try again:

• If you had the television on at around 6:30 this morning, you saw a spectacular fire on Lower Greenville which destroyed Terrilli's and three other restaurants.
• I had a crazy date at Terrilli's in the 1990s. Not sure whatever happened to her.
• Someone commented that arson cases are often rejected by prosecutors because they "don't understand" the science behind arson investigations. Puhleeze.
• Gov. Perry grants a posthumous pardon to Tim Cole yesterday. Wasn't that one day before the election? Truly profiting off a dead man.
• My prediction: Perry gets 45% of the vote tonight.
• The Messenger is hosting an "Election Night Watching Party" tonight at the Decatur's Visitor's Center. Note to Decatur Police: Be on standby!
• There's a best selling book called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? And there's a book soon to be movie called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (with Natalie Portman starring and producing?) Are we out of ideas? I read that in Time yesterday.
• Off the top of my head, I don't know the difference between Armageddon and the Apocalypse.
• The Evil Empire went from #1 in the nation to falling out of the AP Top 25 yesterday.
• I can't tell you enough how quickly my shoulder healed.
• Sean Hannity was implying yesterday that President Obama drinks too much. It's incredible what Fox News has become.
• The couple we stayed with in Costa Rica has decided to move their permanently. They don't have any kids and just decided to take a leap of faith.
• I heard their was a DWI-Felony trial starting today in Decatur. I'll check it out.
• Based upon some anonymous comments, someone I know is off her medication.
• The Jack County Courthouse shuts down on election day. Wise County does not.
• Slate magazine has a "Spoiler" podcast that reveals and discusses the end of movies. I just listened to one for Shutter Island. Oh, my.
• When you know your life is wheel's off: "Man admits to mistress that he killed topless dancer." There's a lot going on in that sentence.
• Have ballots ever designated the incumbent? I don't think so.
