Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• We bombed and killed five of our own soldiers in Afghanistan overnight. 
• The Sixth Grader In The House says "remember when" a lot, and I agree even though I have no idea what she is talking about.
• TCU won an exciting playoff game last night but ESPN2 went dark with two outs, two strikes, in the bottom of the ninth and missed the final out. 
• The landscape behind the fences at TCU's baseball field has a ton on beautiful trees but the area right in front of the trees looks like it just got run over by a bulldozer. 
• The fact that the Muslim hating school board member from Keller remains on a board "speaks volumes" doesn't it. (She was supported by the very abrasive Tea Party group called "Empower Texans".)
• Lake Bridgeport rose a miniscule quarter of an inch over the weekend and the Update gives it the quantum physics treatment in its first entry. 
• I watched 30 for 30's The Ghosts of Ole Miss again last night. It's fantastic. And it helps that I've now been there. 
• Just so we are clear on my Rangers prediction at the first of the season, I said we couldn't depend on that makeshift pitching staff and we couldn't depend on those injured to return. As of today, the starters have the worst ERA in the major leagues. 
• Radio Shack reported a first quarter loss of almost $100 million. Do they ever report a profit? Will it be around in two years? 
• Amy Van Dyken Rouen, a six-time Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer, is hospitalized in an intensive-care unit in Scottsdale after severing her spine in an all-terrain vehicle accident.
• Another goofy tweet from that Texas Supreme Court justice.
