- It's interesting that the 14 year old from North Richland Hills who ran off with the twenty something guy didn't qualify as an "Amber Alert". Yeah, she left on her own will but still . . . .
- Mrs. LL the other day told me she thought the Amber Alert was only for abductions by a parent. I thought that was silly at first, but she had every right to think that. Over the last ten years, I bet 90% or more of the Amber Alerts involve a parent.
- Heard a rumor that long time "law and order" district judge Sharen Wilson will run for DA in Tarrant County. There's a lot of lawyers in Fort Worth will suffer Slumped Shoulders when they read that.

- The Fourth Grader In The House said, "I can't wait until next Tuesday" and then just stared at me. I then went into an explanation of what a "Leading Statement Guy" is.
- If you want to read comments that will make your head explode, read those under the article about the Dallas man beaten outside of a club that was hosting a porn star's birthday party. (And the comments in the Reddit link as well.)
- A "prayer" headline and a "pastor arrest" headline:
