Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




One of my all time great predictions because two days later he admitted that he made it up. 

  • "Three people were killed and two others were hospitalized after a wrong-way driver caused a series of crashes early Tuesday on State Highway 121 in Fort Worth, according to police. Fort Worth officers responded around 1:20 a.m. to a crash reported near Airport Freeway and North Riverside Drive."

  • Three people were killed in a house fire in South Parker County last night, but there is barely any news coverage about it. 
  • I'm not real sure how Keller can tell Westlake what to do about anything. But a judge issued this order (PDF) yesterday afternoon. 


    Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick

  • This happened a week ago in Plano, but the New York Post has better coverage of what happened that any DFW news stations. 

  • Big Ten news.

  • We are having a rough time on the open seas.

  • I'd be running like a school girl. 

  • Trump is going to steal the mid-terms. It's over.  

  • He's crazy.

  • Trump and his official White House account were not happy with CNN yesterday. 


  • The Business Second™. We are about to reach a milestone. 

  • Legal nerdy stuff.  This story is really incredible and it includes the prompts the expert used in preparing his report. And, as a bonus, it has a link to the trial transcript where the Plaintiff's lawyer called the expert as an adverse witness.  It's pretty great. (Warning: I think you'll only get one free click to read the article.)


  • The Secretary of Defense, during war time, was campaigning in Iowa yesterday.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts



"On this day, Prince sat at a podium in the bowels of the stadium with Jadyn and Haven. His Rangers teammates and coaches filled the interview room. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place. Fielder, wearing an uncomfortable neck brace, announced the end of his 12-year major league career by decree of his doctors."
  • The longest active civil case on the docket in Wise County is headed back to the trial court after an appellate court ruling yesterday.
  • Yes, there was a road rage shooting yesterday morning. We don't know much about it, but Fort Worth PD had there current class of cadets walking the freeway for potntiial evidence.


  • "A civil lawsuit claims King received at least one report of teacher Paul Campbell inappropriately touching a student but failed to investigate or notify law enforcement."


  • Oh my.


  • Oh, the horror!

  • A wreck in McKinney yesterday gave rise to a heck of a photo.

  • There will still be a state court case pending against Mangione, and the U.S. Constitution's double jeopardy clause does not prevent it.  However, New York has it's own wonky double jeopardy law which provides more protection than the constitution.   At least that will give his lawyer's something to argue. 


  • We've used 45 of them at $50 million each. 

  • The Business Second™. The U.S. Government looked for a $25 billion loan yesterday. It took an interest rate of 5.216% before investors could be found. That's the highest rate since 2001.
