- Fog anyone?
- In case you missed it, a Wise County Constable ran a stop sign in Decatur and collided with one of the Hand clan from Chico and then took out a power pole.
- Jury selection begins today in former Cowboy Josh Brent's Intoxication Manslaughter case.
- I worked for a couple of years in downtown Dallas and used its little known pedestrian tunnel system all the time. (They were talking about the tunnel system on the radio this morning.)
- Stay with me here: The Texas Finance Commission oversees the Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner, the "state's lending watchdog." You know, things like payday loans. I was shocked to learn that the appointed chairman of the Finance Commission is the vice-president of payday lender Cash America! When an El Paso paper tried to talk to him (or even about him) by calling the Commission, the reporter was given the number of Cash America.
- Everyone has been retweeting this photo of a fighter pilot taking a "selfie" photo over Kyle Field. It is so fake that it hurts.
- His name escapes me, but twenty years ago a Wise County inmate was killed when a wall collapsed on him as he was helping with an expansion project.
- The Decatur Beggar was spotted yesterday on 377 south of Keller and he had a lady friend with him.
- Modern Family, which had its season premiere last night, is still funny.
- Fascinating: Drug Lord Pablo Escobar posing with his son in front of the White House in the 1980s.
- I saw Sky Mirror at Cowboys Stadium over the holidays. I think that thing is really cool. And it is huge.
- The Bobby Petrino story is amazing: Was at Louisville, abruptly leaves to coach the Atlanta Falcons, quits with four or so games to go to take a position at the University of Arkansas, gets in a motorcycle wreck with his twenty-something year old mistress on the back and tries to cover it up, gets fired, does a couple of years at Western Kentucky, and yesterday gets hired back at Louisville. It's the circle of life.
- Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity's vehement opposition to the legalization of marijuana, which the majority of Americans approve of, borders on comical.
- The death of the man in Wise County, possibly from the Swine Flu, was picked up by lots of media outlets yesterday. Even heard it on the local NPR on the way home.
- Sports news: Jay, not John, Gruden will be RG3's new coach.
- The Chris Christie administration basically shutting down the busiest bridge in America because of political retaliation is right out of the Sopranos.
