- Wow: The wife of Lee Harvey Oswald once listed a post office box in "Boyd, Texas" as her address per the Warren Commission Report. (h/t Bud Kennedy.)
- I would have bet a ton of money on OU straight up. Thanks goodness I don't know a bookie.
- When I left this morning Mrs. LL was laying horizontally in bed with the Family Pup at her side. Made me giggle.
- Watched the first half of Frontline about the concussions in the NFL. I had forgotten that Monday Night Football began with two animated helmets crashing into each other and exploding.
- Mrs. LL found all the Frontlines on Netflix via Roku. She was absolutely giddy. Sometimes she surprises me.
- The Dallas Morning News has a "Miss Texas Pole Competition" slideshow on its home page. That's the equivalent of a Random Thought Girl, no?
- The BagOfNothing guy was dogging Baylor this morning after scoring just 35 on Kansas State. Hey, I'm not ready to proclaim them Big 12 Champions, but every good team has to go through that on the road. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it.
- I think arson investigators and coroners believe they are smarter than they actually are.
- The more I think about it, the Chris Arnold plagiarism piece is a fireable offense. I've never seen anything so blatant. (And we should have all been tipped off -- he's not smart enough to string together that many coherent thoughts.)
- From my email bag: "Thought you might like this. I am self employed and purchase private insurance for my wife and I. My premiums are currently $370/mo since we were both on excellent when we enrolled many years ago. Under Obamacare, my premiums go to $925/mo and I can not get subsidy since I make more than 4x the poverty level. I can not afford this $11k premium and the resulting $12k annual deductible." He wanted me to share it. The stunning part is that he was paying $370 a month part.
- From the Update: "1 SHOT, 1 STABBED IN CHICO". How is it possible the names aren't available?
- Bridgeport falls to 0-7. They need one win to get in the playoffs. That ain't happening.
- The Sophomore In The House is in band. The number of hours she is required to commit to it would cause me to
brake break my instrument over my knee in the first week. But she loves it. Even if it means leaving the house at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday.
- I'm back to jogging and have abandoned the X-box training game. I had forgotten how much I loved it. I got up yesterday morning at dawn to do it, -and I always think to myself, "There will come a time when you can no longer do this. But that day is not today."
