Random Monday Morning Thoughts

• I finally watched the 8 mm home movie I found at my parents house and converted to DVD. Let's just say that when Mrs. LL came in the room, unaware that I had watched it, she said, "Are you OK?"  It was a wonderful two minute journey back into 1959 early 1957. I can't wait to process the rest of them. 
• Incredible condo fire in Dallas this morning. (And look at all the firefighters lined up as the body of one of their brethren is about to be removed.) Edit: People keep saying the link is screwed up but I don't see it. 
• Our refrigerator is on its last legs. The freezer is producing ice on the sides like Antarctica and the regular portion is keeping food at a degree that can only be described as lukewarm.  But I'm not sure I've ever seen the kids so giddy when I told them that The Mom can "knock herself out" when she goes shopping for another one. 
• I got in trouble for changing the channel off of college softball this weekend. 
• I do have a belief of buying extremely high quality on something that is is used constantly (i.e mattress, air conditioning, refrigerator, television). Everything else, let's go cheap.
• Britney Griner was quoted by ESPN The Magazine as saying she was told to keep her sexuality secret by coach Kim Mulkey.  Now Baylor is taking heat for its student manual which basically says "don't be a gay" or specifically, "It is thus expected that Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching." I knew this was coming. I could have sworn I posted something about three years ago about a female player leaving the team about that issue. 
• Kid-In-The-House this weekend: "Mom says you think you are going to die in the next ten years." I wish I had had a camera on my face at that moment. 
• Yahoo! is buying Tumblr for $1.1 billion. The dumbest company in the world? Here's a list of all of their high priced acquisitions -- led by lottery winning Mark Cuban with the stupid money of $7.6 billion.
• Oklahoma State is limiting where their young quarterback can transfer to after he announced he was going to leave school. A coach can go anywhere at the drop of a but they are going to restrict where the kid can go? Sorriness. 
• A very good article in the Messenger this weekend said that the Tarrant County Water Board would stop releasing water from Lake Bridgeport into Eagle Mountain lake in early July. Even if they are telling the truth (doubtful), it'll be ugly by that time.
