- There was a personal injury case starting yesterday in Decatur (some guy got injured on a gas well) but everyone in the courtroom was gone by the afternoon. It may have settled -- I'll find out.
- Today at 1:00, every TV and radio station will do a 30 second emergency preparedness test. It will be like a car alarm going off, only bigger.
- Mrs. LL told me she had a McRib yesterday and it was delicious. I think that qualifies as Low Maintenance.
- For you nerdy legal types: A prosecutor got crushed at oral argument at the Supreme Court yesterday.
- Collin County Craziness: A bribery trial against a state judge started yesterday with news that one of the co-defendants (the briber) had been given complete immunity in exchange for testifying. Politics over there, however, is like a middle school playground so I don't know who to believe.
- One thing even I'm guilty of regarding the Penn State story: Assuming the sexual abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky are true.
- I have no idea whether Herman Cain has engaged in sexual harassment, but those who support him just blindly dismiss every woman who comes forward.
- The big well fire yesterday in Wise County involved equipment owned by Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. who called the site a Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facility according to its press release.
- "The quarterback had grown up in tiny Texas towns like Decatur and Stephenville, small spots in which life was lived a particular way." - Story today about Kevin Kolb on the Arizona Cardinals website.
- The drought in East Texas caused a lake level to lower so much that a car was found -- with a body inside of it. Seriously: Do you think there are human remains at the bottom of Lake Bridgeport right now? I do.
- I told you to fear Abilene Wylie again (who knocked Decatur out of the volleyball playoffs last night.)
- The Bridgeport Booster Club is holding a "Meet The Bulls" event tomorrow. It's just shocking they don't know who those boys are.
- BagOfNothing.com has a crazy near miss traffic accident video in Rockwall.
- Wise County voters only voted for one of the ten proposed state constitutional amendments yesterday. I have no idea what that says about us -- perhaps we are against things we don't understand.
- CoCo goes shopping.
- Chico ISD is auctioning off old items including these two broken toilets. All items listed here.
- I'm loving how the NBA players aren't backing down after the owners "take this now or we'll offer less tomorrow" negotiation tactic. I think there's a chance the entire season is lost (which is fine with me.)
- I didn't really follow the Jack Abramoff case but I see he is out of prison and hawking a book on Fox and Friends this morning.
- Good read on the plane to Vegas: The Texas Monthly article on the decades old murder of 77 year old Mary Eula Sears of Abilene. I had never heard of it but I suppose the case is famous there.
- Does the government still own a large chunk of GM? It announced quarterly profits of $1.7 billion this morning.
