- We made our annual trip to the Flower Mound pumpkin patch yesterday evening. That’s the only place I know of in which an old fashioned merry-go-round exists.
- On the way home we ate at Dairy Queen and I had a steak finger basket, something I use to get all the time in Mineral Wells and something I don’t think I’ve eaten in maybe fifteen years. If I have another steak finger basket in fifteen years it will be too soon.
- On the way home, Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” came on the radio and I blurted out, “SINBAD O’CONNOR!”. I didn’t expect the kids to get the SNL reference, but I thought WifeGeeding would have. Instead, I heard crickets chirping along with the song. And in case you are wondering, I did spell the title of the song correctly.
- The first sad book I can remember reading is Where the Red Fern Grows.
- Phil Collins’ fans rejoice: Artist announces end of retirement – I can’t think of a time when channel surfing in the car in which I landed on a Collins song and changed the station.
- East Texas judge tells couples ‘Get married or stay away from each other’ – It looks like he did something similar back in July.
- A Wataburger Nike shoe
- Houston Chronicle – The creepiest Texas urban myths and weird phenomena
- I don’t like the idea of the Rangers not keeping pitching coach Mike Maddux.
- Former Cowboys player Dennis Morgan has fatal heart attack in stands during Sunday’s Cowboys-Giants game
- FiveThirtyEight – The Cowboys are the most televised team in the NFL
- Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!

So some parent wants to punish all kids because they passed defective genes on to their own kid. Carrots, raisins, and Necco Wafers for Halloween?! Might as well cancel trick-or-treating and send all the kids to Amish country where they can gang-raise a barn. But no lumber from nut trees, please!
Besides, if you go to all the trouble to make that nice-looking poster, couldn't you take the time to figure out "allergy-conscience"?
Anxiously awaiting the Great Pumpkin tonight
"What gives, cueball? I'm looking at you, I'm thinking 'fourteen in the side pocket'?"_Triple Fake Chairman of the Board
Wow. Just wow at that sign posted by the parents.
I agree about the sign, but good grief. Sounds like Mr. Triple Fake needs to take his Metamucil.
