Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• From the email bag: "Hwy 114 between Boyd and hwy 51 is shut down. Roll over at 8:00 am"
• The high school coach who was run over by a golf cart at Cowboys Stadium has sued Jerry and Company for $1 million and cites "embarrassment" as part of his injuries. Hey, you PI lawyers: (1) Isn't it still unethical to make a claim for a specific dollar amount in the Original Petition, and (2) is "embarrassment" compensable in a negligence case?
• That was a horrible bus accident in Irving yesterday, but I've never understood the relative lack of media coverage when 24 nursing home patients died after a bus caught on fire South of Dallas during the evacuation for Hurricane Rita. Yeah, it was covered that day, but its rarely mentioned despite being (and I'm guessing here) a top five death event in the metroplex?
• I hate Facebook, but can't help blowing through it about once a day. I did it last night. Uh, based upon the number of pictures posted, was everyone in Wise County at the Jon Bon Jovi concert? 
• Obscure sports note: Chris Davis used to play for the Rangers and had a more than frustrating experience. He'd catch on fire in the minors and then be sent up to the majors only to not be able to buy a hit. Near the end of his Rangers experience, I had an interview with him which actually had me think, "What a great guy." Well he has a little redemption: After nine games this season with the Orioles, he has a .400 average, and leads the majors in RBIs (19) and home runs (6).
• Big sports note: A brawl (video) between the Dodgers/Padres last night left Dodger starting pitcher Zack Greinke with a broken collar bone. Greinke, who gets paid regardless of how long he is out, will receive $19 million this year. 
• If you understand Bitcoin, you are smarter than me. But it sounds like something I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. 
• I'm a little worried about my Natalie Merchant concert tonight. I didn't realize her most recent album was comprised of 26 songs "adapted from 19th and 20th century British and American poetry about childhood." And she told the Star-Telegram that the album is a "majority of the concert." Oh, my. 
• I finally started using an online password manager. Verdict: What took me so long?
• Odd note from the Update: "Amigos of Wise County will have a comedy night for adults 18 and older from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday at The Bridgeport Stage." What's "Amigos for Wise County"?
• Something I do all the time now: Take a photo of a piece of paper if it has something on it I need to remember. 
• "Morgan Freeman Nuzzling RG3". What a funny photo. And, man, RG3 has such and Eddie Murphy smile. 
• Why the high tone Augusta National Country Club (do I need to say "site of the Masters"?)  might not be so bad after all: They'll kick you out for yelling, "Get in the hole!" after a tee shot. (Unrelated side note: Did you know the theme of the great music associated with The Masters has lyrics?)
• That Jodi Arias trial may never end.
