This was about the peak of the Lake Bridgeport drought.
- Not sure what all is going on here:
- Greg Swindell is a former Longhorn and MLB pitcher. From last weekend:
- From this morning:
- That's one serious water main break.
- The pitchfork crowd is out for this guy, but let's remember he's legally entitled to a bond. And let's also remember we don't even know the blood alcohol concentration yet, and the DA doesn't even have enough evidence to go to a grand jury. And all these bond conditions aren't cheap.
- To start with, $750,000 bond itself probably will cost him $75,000 to a bonding company.
- The SCRAM ankle monitor device which monitors for alcohol runs over $300 a month.
- The interlock device is probably around $80 a month.
- And the reporting requirement to probation as a condition of bond is probably $60 a month or more.
- DPS has entered into a $5.3 million contract to a private firm which collects your location data from your cell phone. So how did the firm get the data? You've agreed to provide to the data to certain apps and the maker of those apps sold it to them. That firm took that data and created its own geo-fencing data which DPS wants. No warrant required.
- Trump began to waffle on Sunday on whether he would do the ABC debate at all and continued o do so yesterday. I think he has to. It's simply too late to back out now of the 9/10 event. In the meantime, the Harris camp says they want the mics live at all times (they think Trump can't control himself) while Trump's people want them off during not designated speaking times.
- A giant head of Elon Musk has been spotted in South Texas.
- A beer bash at home in McAllen where there was a cover charge was implemented leads to three arrests after a high school football player decided to jump from a roof to a pool but ended up dying in the process.
- I must be guilty of living in my own online bubble, because I had never even seen a single word about these girls. Yet they somehow warranted a New Times Times story.
- The school is UT-San Antonio. Here's its link to the program.
- Jerry finally signed CeeDee Lamb yesterday. Overall, it's a $136 million deal with $100 million guaranteed including $38 million up front.
- This will be the first weekend of Texas high school football and that means there will be 750 games - the most ever. Source.
