Late Friday Freebies

• Sorry for the delay in posts today folks. I've had quite the hectic day today following a certain story.

• This Sunday's Terrell Tribune has some good stuff in it including a great article about Jimmie Phillips, the pilot who tragically died north of Terrell this week; a local blogger who is asking shutterbugs to take a walk; and some changes at Terrell ISD campuses. If you don't subscribe, pick up a copy.

• I wonder if anyone has ever noticed that the county website has the DA's name spelled incorrectly.

• School’s out for summer — except for hundreds of children in western San Bernardino County who, because of an administrative snafu, must make up 34 days of school this summer. Link. I know there are days my wife wishes our kids could be in school for 34 more days. Of course, as a teacher, she'd have to be there, too.

• Outspoken Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she’s so worried that information from next year’s national census will be abused that she will not fill out anything more than the number of people in her household. Link. I'm sure my dad agrees with her.
