Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

Revised due to duplication error

• I got hauled off to the doctor against my will by Mrs. LL yesterday. Maybe its just a sudden drop in blood sugar but this is getting a little tricky to diagnose. But she seemed really scared yesterday so I went along. 
• Listened to in house mini-concert of someone playing the recorder last night. I didn't even know that instrument was still around. 
• Women are going to be allowed to fight on the front lines in our military. I suppose how it is implemented will be the key. (But radio guy Mark Davis was blowing a gasket over the subject this morning.)
• I'm not certain, but I think the current hot spot (and a spot which is ripe for abuse) for Plaintiffs lawyers it patent litigation with ground zero being the federal courts in East Texas.
• I bet Jay Ratliff is going to look pretty good on the Field Sobriety Testing but that dang blood test might doom him. 
• Foggy 380 this morning. 
• There was a story yesterday of the countless hours Manti Te'o spent on the phone to his fake girlfriend (as documented by phone bills.)  As nutty as that makes Te'o, it also makes the perpetrator at the other end a nutcase. And the story got weirder at Te'o's lawyer now claims the fake girlfriend was voiced by a guy.
• I've never thought of this: Is there any actual law that prevents a man from going in a public woman's bathroom or visa-versa?  
• What's the current status of the Waggonner Mansion in Decatur? And what about the huge house at College Street and Hale which seems to have been vacant for years?
• We've had "An Another" but it involves a man. And, unfortunately, a former Baylor pitcher.
• It would drive me nuts to be a school superintendent (two stories about them in the Update today.) Your fate is determined by a small group of school board members every couple of years who each have their own agendas.
• A story came out yesterday that the national Democrats are now focusing on Texas with  the chance that it will soon become a blue state. If so, experts believe, "the Electoral College math is simple. We won’t be talking about Ohio, we won’t be talking about Florida or Virginia, because it won’t matter. If Texas is bright blue, you can’t get to two-seventy electoral votes. The Republican Party would cease to exist."
• Some tried to take shots at Hillary yesterday to get their soundbite or a question on the news but she fought back like crazy.  Heck, she might be the Democratic nominee in three years.
