- The Mississippi River is rising and some are predicting the state of Mississippi is about to see the greatest flood in its history. Talk about a story that's been buried because of other news.
- It was National Day of Prayer yesterday. I actually saw a group of about six people observing it on the courthouse lawn but that's about it.
- I'll find out more on this: A 17 year old Jack County kid was charged with "offensive touching" (a Class C misdemeanor -- the equivalent of a traffic ticket) of a 15 year old on a school bus. Now the County Attorney and a prominent* Jacksboro lawyer are battling in a JP court.
- The price of oil dropped 10% yesterday. I'm sure that's just the natural result *cough* of supply and demand.
- The texture of food has never factored in to what I will or will not eat.
- The sound of a drawer off of its grooves and grinding against the frame as it is pulled out drives me insane.
- I wonder if those Japanese nuclear reactors are still leaking.
- It's hard to get any news on the Granbury double murder trial going on, but it doesn't seem like a particularly strong case. (Latest update which has a reference to First Financial Bank.)
- Economy news this morning: The unemployment rate ticked back up to 9%. (Someone will tell me that will be a bigger factor for Obama's re-election chances than Bin Laden, and I'll probably have to concede that point.)
- I should have recorded it, but Steve Eager read a Viewer's Voice email on Fox 4 News last night, seemed confused, read it again, and then proclaimed, "I don't understand that." I didn't either.
- The last time the Lakers played the Mavs in the playoffs was in 1988. I got to go to Game Four for free when my secretary, on the day of the game, walked into my office and asked me if I wanted tickets. (And I thought things like that would happen all the time for the rest of my life. Nope.)
- If the Navy doesn't use the Bin Laden capture as a recruiting tool, they are idiots at marketing.
- The SEALs used dogs in the raid? Wow. And they had titanium teeth at a cost of $2,000 a piece? Well, that report yesterday was not true.
- That 9/11 Ceremony was a little weak yesterday.
*Friend of mine who I thought about throwing under the bus.
