Random Monday Morning Thoughts

    And as I said then, that's a heck of a picture which was floating around that day. 

---

• It's Labor Day, everything is closed, there is no Messenger Update, but here I am because: THWMISB™
• The death toll from last Wednesday's wreck near Alvord has risen to five after another person passed away at the hospital on Saturday. 
  
  
  
• And there was a very bad wreck in Anna on Friday killing four.
  
  
  
• The rest of the country was doing much better. And this bus was headed to Dallas.
  
  
  
• This is a wonky story that went down at 4:00 a.m. yesterday morning.  "Officers were called to Greenbriar Drive around 4 a.m. on Sunday for a man who was knocking on random doors and trespassing through front and back yards. Neighbors told FOX 4 they were worried because the man was holding a child and the two women he was with were holding large backpacks and appeared to be in a frantic state." But there is no real explanation or description of the movie-like moment where the guy was shot with a child in his arms.
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Six hostages were found dead during another raid in Gaza.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Afterwards, protests in Israel erupted, not over Hamas, but over Netanyahu's obsession with killing everyone in Gaza instead of trying to bring the hostages home. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I can't say I was familiar with her fine work, but isn't she interviewing Randolph Duke from Trading Places in this photo they ran with the news of her death?
  
  
  
• Abilene Christian took the Texas Tech Red Raiders to overtime on Saturday and were rewarded by having their bus hit by a pickup driven by a teenager 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Trump:
• He had a normal Labor Day weekend with his family I see. 
  
  
  
• Trump attacked the press in his speech on Friday so a guy immediately tried to literally attack the press corp at the event.  Video.
  

  

  
  
  
  
• And after coming out as pro-life last week, he posted that he was in favor of marijuana legalization this weekend.  He does realize he is a Republican, right?
• College football lines for this weekend. 
  
  
  
• Funny video of Ted Cruz on sideline at Aggie game. (And the Cruz curse continues.)
• DirecTV and Disney (which includes ESPN and ABC) are in a fight causing a blackout. With how easy it is to switch immediately over to a different carrier (i.e. YouTube TV), I don't know how companies like DirecTV win these wars.
