Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

I'm not going to pass up the chance to remember this bank robber's school of choice. He would get arrested the next year, but I can't readily find out what happened with him.

• This is one of the worst wrecks in Wise County history.  I'm pretty sure this is the driver's Facebook page with a variety of what are now heartbreaking photos.
  
  
  
  

  

  

  
  

  
  
  
  
• Inflation numbers were just released.  It "slowed down a tick to 3.4% year over year -- that's in line with what economists were expecting and down from 3.5% in March."
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Google rolled out its new AI yesterday. We are not prepared for what is coming.
  
  
  
• Every case I've ever handled that involved a charge of "Unlawful Restraint" had something really wonky about it. There are no details about this case, however. 
  
  
  
• Good grief.
  
  
  
• I think Trump's main lawyer just acts very strange in front of the cameras. He might be a cyborg.
  
  
  
• Mike Johnson went to Trump's trial yesterday, but never entered the courthouse.  Incredible. 
  
  
  
• If you want a fascinating crash course on the history of Southlake, with reproduction of old newspaper articles, this thread is fantastic. The author of it just released this book. 
  
  
  
• Noticed that the Wise County Messenger was losing a reporter. 
  
  
  
• I think its weird to show up hours early to get a cheap and fake Rangers World Series ring. 
  
  
  
• Might want to have thought about that first, hoss. 
  
  
  
• The Star-Telegram explained that the Fox 4 News story about a high rise in Fort Worth selling at auction for a fraction of its value was very misleading.
