Random Wednesday Thoughts




  • Looks like I'm going to have to fire up the Liberally Lean Weather Center today.
  • Hey, to the person who sent me the comment about what you observed on Sunday morning. First, you have no right to call yourself a Christian if you exhibit that much hatred. It is the exact opposite of everything Christ taught. Secondly, you have no idea what happened after that. Thirdly, come say that to my face and don't hide behind "anonymous". 
  • John Battaglia, who murdered his two daughters near Deep Ellum in a high tone loft many years back, is scheduled to be executed tonight. One of many former wives was fascinated with the case and even bought a book about it. 
  • The worst luck in the world was a real estate seller who had signs in Wise County with the exact same unusual name.
  • I'm not much of a golf fan, but I will go to Augusta before I die. Bucket list.
  • I sometimes talk into the mirror to practice what I'm going to say in the future. Then I begin to realize I'm Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver.
  • The great Patty Duke died yesterday. And despite the Hellen Keller movie and The Patty Duke Show, I think her greatest accomplishment was being married to Evil Roy Slade (two people out there will laugh at that.) Amazingly, Slade, played by John Astin who was also Gomez in the Addams Family, celebrates a birthday today. 
  • I still shake my head about Trump. And he might win the nomination.
  • Since moving out to the lake, I've learned what small town life is like again. I'll be working in the lawn and someone will drive by, stop, and just want to introduce themselves (and find out who the heck I am and what I'm doing there.) 
  • Donkey basketball is a really weird event.
