Edit: Repeat?
- A Wise County "conservative Republican" and the Wise County Democratic Party Chairman were in Azle last night seeking answers regarding the earthquakes.
- Sports: (1) Texas Tech won't let former walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield play immediately at his new school of choice, OU, instead forcing him to sit out a year. And that's a kid who wasn't under scholarship, (2) I watched the Baylor/UConn women's game last night -- entertaining stuff, (3) Former Cowboy exec Gil Brandt compares Johnny Manziel to Doug Flutie -- a comparison which I take as a criticism if I were Johnny Football, (4) This comes from WBAP's Hal Jay so who knows if it is correct, but he said that once UT pays Louisville the $4 million+ contractual buy-out for Charlie Strong, that the money is considered as income for Strong who'll have to pay income taxes on it. (5) From the Star-Telegram: "TCU's Role Model Should Be Baylor."
- Interesting strategy in the Josh Brent trial where they are contesting guilt when the blood alcohol content was .18. Since the victim's family doesn't want him to go to prison, I'd of thought he would have simply pled guilty before the jury, accepted responsibility, and then focus all of his efforts on obtaining probation.
- The more I hear about the Southwest jet landing at the wrong airport, the weirder it seems. Heck, the GPS on your phone could have prevented that. And did you know that the intended destination of the Branson airport doesn't have radar?
- I generally don't have allergies, but I'm certain that Mountain Ceder causes me to sneeze like crazy. We had the highest pollen count of the season this weekend (279) but the count was into the thousands in Austin and San Antonio.
- Mrs. LL has started a yoga class and apparently is very surprised by the fitness of the ladies which are many years her senior.
- The Sonic commercial guys used to be funny, right?
- The Musers did a segment on Fitbit this morning. Never heard of it until recently. But a gal up at the courthouse got one for Christmas. Edit: Someone commented that the segment sounded like a paid ad disguised as a regular segment. That is an interesting take.
- I'm surprised that the guy who paid $350,000 to shoot an endangered rhino (still makes absolutely no sense) decided to come forward and identify himself. When he posted on his Facebook page that he'd like to thank all of those for their "comments", the post itself received 1,347 comments (at least that was the number a second ago)
- I've got the Alex Rodriquez 60 Minutes story on my DVR, but I'm only mildly interested. (But I do like the fact that he sued MLB and the player's union yesterday only because he has the chance to go scorched earth.)
- Are cops not releasing auto wreck information as freely as they used to? It seems like every Wise County wreck that occurs the evening before that the name of those involved is not available in the Update even on the following morning.
- The Decatur ISD Superintendent got a $6,500 raise last night. He made $145,000 in 2011-2012 per the Texas Tribune.
