It looks like the sheriff's deputy was Seth Aaron Miller who was convicted and placed on five years probation with 60 days in jail as a condition of that probation. As far as my proclamation that the ME's office is nuts (something that turned out to be exactly right), I can't find a single reference to the barstool story, and the link is dead.

- I don't know why this isn't front and center of every newscast and newspaper this morning. A ransomware attack by a Russian group has shutdown a pipeline which carries gasoline and other fuel from Texas to the Northeast. It delivers roughly 45% of fuel consumed on the East Coast.
- Weekend Gunfire News:
- A gunman killed six members of an extended family Sunday at a birthday party at a mobile home in Colorado Springs
- One man was killed and seven other people were wounded in a shooting inside a downtown Phoenix hotel after an argument early Sunday, police said.
- Three people, including a child, were shot in Times Square on Saturday afternoon.
- The great Portuguese water dog, Bo Obama from Boyd, Texas, died late last week.

- Seeing this question online this morning and it's a great one: Is Tucker Carlson vaccinated?
- It took me almost a decade, but I finally drove through the toll road on LBJ 635 in Dallas from I-35 to past Central. It's incredible.
- I was on my way to Arkansas and had to go through Hooks, Texas. You can see the high school stadium from the highway, and I wondered to myself how many people think, "That's where Billy Sims played" when they go by. I always do.
- Another arrest has been made in a Texas cold case using Familial DNA Searching. That is, using commercial sites like GEDmatch, 23andme, and Ancestry.com to at least locate the family tree of a killer and then go from there.
- Alvord High School's baseball team is in the playoffs and will play in the Holy Land starting on Thursday: John Paul II's field in Plano. Here's an actual satellite shot:
- I'm 100 pages into Lonesome Dove. My verdict is being formed and thus far withheld.
