Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts






I had forgotten how we went all Ebola crazy around here. 


  • This video was released yesterday. Quick hits: (1) I think there's some medication involved instead of "just alcohol" - he's really out of it, (2) he was treated much better than your average Joe during the traffic stop especially when the arresting officer quickly tells him, "We'll get through this", and  (3) The arrest on video was just for Public Intoxication and not DWI. I'm guessing that the higher ups later said, "There's no way we can get away with just that."

  • That little blurb I had yesterday about the rapid increase of Hurricane Milton turned out to be exactly right. That thing got big in a hurry. But it actually has decreased this morning to a Category 4 while the "eye re-forms." 

    • Not mincing words here:
  • "Aircraft registration documents indicate the plane is a 59-year-old Champion 7EC."



  • He was at his own birthday celebration.  Story

  • A  "safety team member" of a church to our north made up a story about a potential threat from a man "wearing a full turban", fired his gun, and then called police so he could be considered a hero. 


  • This happened a week ago but only today made its way to the front page of the Wichita Falls paper. But get this: Not only was the trooper off-duty, but he just happened to collide with "an off-duty investigator for the Wichita County District Attorney's Office."



  • Politics: 
    • She gets crazier and crazier

    • Trump smiling while posing yesterday as he held a photo of a kidnapped victim during a remembrance ceremony regarding October 7th in Israel.  


    • Kamala Harris did a 60 Minutes interview last night but the show's opening explained that Trump had accepted their invitation but then backed out. And they kept the receipts. Today, Harris  is in New York and will be on ABC’s “The View,” SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” and CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

  • Not to get all morbid on you, but a better quality of the  video of the judge shooting in Kentucky was released over the weekend. 

  • The Business Second™. The return of warehouses as a big one built just last year in western Fort Worth off 820 just got snatched up by Google. 

  • Criminal Law exam from Harvard in 1871.  Questions 6 and 7 are wild. 

  • They still haven't caught Seth Altman -- the guy who was the subject of the the 5:00 a.m. Blue Alert last week.
