From Wikipedia: "[Corpus Christi District Judge Tom] Greenwell was found in his chambers dead from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. A handwritten will was found near the body. According to Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin, the judge faced financial ruin. He had exhausted spending caps on five credit cards and owed the repayment of loans. Kaelin said that Greenwell earned at least $140,000 annually but did not apparently live extravagantly. " But it was a little messy in the aftermath.

- I wanted to see the prosecutor but for some reason her identity is worthy of "protection" from the powers at be and the appellate court. Why?
- Old guy fun stuff: People talk about the heat of the summer of 1980 as well as former KXAS weatherman Harold Taft. Here's a 20 second clip from his weather segment announcing that it hit 113 on one of those afternoons. Love the graphics.
