Random Friday Morning Thoughts

The comments section used to be the wild west around here. (My reply was referring to Donald Sterling who was in the news that week.)

• It was a false alarm, but it freaked everyone out. Students were transported to First Baptist where parents could pick them up.
  
   
  
  
  
• Incredible tornado footage from just north of Abilene yesterday evening. At the end of it, you'll see a family run to the videographer for help. Here they are at the hospital later.
  
  
  
• We now learn that the the operation went smoothly but not without a near catastrophe.
  
  
  
  
• Here's the video of it. That made me tense.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I'll say it again, I don't like this case at all. 
  
  
  
• "He collapsed while at the police station and was transported by the North Richland Hills Fire Department to a local hospital."  I can't find his age listed anywhere. 



• The use of the words "no evidence" is interesting. Technically, her words in making the claim constitutes "some evidence" of the claim.  And he was admittedly in the vehicle with her at the strip club so that part is at least corroborated.  It would probably be more appropriate to say the police believed the there was insufficient evidence to support the case as a whole. And they would be right about that. 
  
  
  
• Gov. Abbott made a proclamation yesterday and posted it on Twitter. The replies were, uh, something. 
  
  
  
• Not enough for this Longview man. But it is a bonus that he is actually part of the "January 6th Choir."
  
  
  
  
  
  
• A police car in New Haven blocked the path of a four-wheeler causing serious injuries to the driver.  Watch this 50 second video to decide if it was the right thing to do.  The video is actually two videos of the event. The first five seconds consists of just the moment of driving/impact. The next 45 seconds provides context to the same video.  I did a 180 after watching the second part.
  
  
  
• Of all the blatant lies Trump says, this one is right up there with as one of his biggest. 
  
  
  
• The Business Second™.  The smartest real estate company in Texas has decided to double down on . . . warehouses. 
  
  
  
• The greatest name in college football has entered the transfer portal.
  
  
  
• Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 4 years and 304 days.
