Random Monday Morning Thoughts




Ten years ago Ohio State, with Zeke Elliott, won the National Championship at Jerry World. 


  • Snow totals as it's now all gone (pretty much):

  • Things aren't going well if you are taking I-35E in Denton right now

  • California fire news and notes: 
    • The death toll is now up to 24.

    • The amount of misinformation on social media, especially Twitter and Facebook, tells you just how doomed we are. It's just shocking. People are so gullible.
       

    • And I'm not even talking about dumb stuff like below. By the way, she had dinner with Trump last night.

    • There are many expensive homes which were burned burned to the ground, but this one might have been the most expensive one. (YouTube video tour of the "before,") It is owned by "Luminar Technologies boss Austin Russell, 29."


    • Flashback from 2015
  • There's zero chance of getting away with this. And the story doesn't say as to why he chose the people he did, but I assume there was some connection. 
  • A lady in Fort Worth allowed a neighbor to park his RV in here driveway, but it didn't go well Friday afternoon. 
  • Trump was sentenced remotely on Friday to time-served, but he really didn't make that big of a deal of it. 
  • Our snow storm moved into the South and covered the great pyramid of Memphis -- which is actually a Bass Pro Shop.
  • Southlake PD is always doing bits on social media, but its pretty bold to poke fun of names of a typical Southlake kid.

  • Remember the federal judge who ordered to disagreeable lawyers to go to lunch together? Well, it happened: 
  • The only thing that comes to mind of a similar lightning-bolt-moment type loss for Texas is when OU's Roy Williams caused the game winning interception in the Cotton Bowl in 2001. Friday night "scoop and score" was just as shocking although it unfolded over a few more seconds and with more ultimate consequences.

  • It's quite the choice to move the Rams/Vikings game because of the wildfires to State Farm Stadium in Phoenix. If you hadn't heard, on "March 20, 2024, State Farm announced it wouldn’t renew 30,000 homeowners’ insurance policies in California, including more than 1,000 policies in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades area."
