• Not sure why I was so intrigued by that photo above, but it made me laugh.
• Over the weekend, someone posted a comment that my blog was nothing more than mindless prattle and useless pop culture links. Uh, I couldn't argue with that...so I just deleted it.
• On next week's commissioners' court agenda are two items about doling out $10 million for road projects: one is for the State Hwy. 34 project in Terrell while the other appears more open-ended. Are we hedging our bets?
• Hutchison to Texas A&M: End the politics. Link.
• Some amazing photos from Iran.
• Drunken Arizona drivers with the late-night munchies may soon be getting more than chicken strips at drive-through windows. Link.
• Within moments, three black sport-utility vehicles drove up, a half-dozen men in suits jumped out and one said, "You just hit our line." Only in D.C.
• Protecting Your Kids Online. Link.
• It will be interesting over the next month or so to see how local governmental entities handle the budgeting process. It seems many will be trying to tighten their belts amid rising costs. Of course, the same could be said about my household.
• My old college roommate was listed as No. 33 on the Fort Worth Business Press' 40 under 40 . He always tells me "I rock," but I think this truly shows that "he rocks!" (Editor's note: You have to scroll down).
• I mentioned last week that I was working on a story with State Rep. Betty Brown. It ran in Sunday's Tribune.

Especially watch raises for city employees. In this economic climate (assessed property valuations and sales tax revenues down), the council shouldn't pass out substantial across-the-board raises again while most other north Texas cities are freezing or reducing wages and cutting staff to the bone.
RE: The photo above. I have long been a fan of Whiplash the rodeo monkey, who you may remember was the spokesmonkey for Dairy Queen years ago (he now apparently endorses Justin boots). If watching a monkey in a Roy Rodgers outfit ride a collie and heard sheep doesn't make you smile, there's something wrong with you. In fact, Rep. Brown should urge Gov. Perry to add to the call of the special session a resolution honoring Whiplash as our State's official rodeo monkey. GOD BLESS TEXAS!
If enjoying a monkey in a Roy Rogers outfit riding a collie and herding sheep is wrong, I don't want to be right...
If Whiplash has any political ambitions, there is a place for him in Kaufman County. There are some judge races coming up!
which Kaufman school coach was arrested in Terrell selling drugs? or is it a rumor
So I was wrong I thought that was a picture of Judge Gent and the back of the county taxpayers rounding up the local commissioners my bad.
