- Yesterday we visited the Perot Museum of Nature and Science and somehow became members. We encountered a PEZ collection on display and I snapped the above photo with my camera-phone. I feel like it’s artsy-fartsy. All of the Presidents of the United States are on the top row.
- The museum uses these peeled banana wet floor sign displays. #BitsAreFun
- Also on display was a Tom Landry’s playbook, click to biggify.
- I got to compare my throwing form with Captain Comeback using a high-speed video camera. I need to work on my technique.
- WifeGeeding compared her cartwheel with that of an Olympic gymnast.
- Local folks are familiar with the Moody family name and their philanthropy. But non-local folks probably think this is just an area for moody families with children.
- I’ve been watching ‘Brain Dead’ on CBS. If you like a combination of science fiction, political drama, quirky comedy, and Tony Shalhoub, this show might be for you. It’s not great, but it’s entertaining.
- Crazy Dallas Stuff
- Crazy lightening strike
- Crazy storm damage off Fitzhugh – Look at how those large metal beams are bent
- Parking garage collapse in Uptown – Lots of folks looking from a higher parking floor, which doesn’t seem like a good decision. Is it me, or is this sort of thing with parking garages seem to happen a lot lately.
- Failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is paying $25,000 for playing “Eye of the Tiger” at a Kim Davis rally last year without the band’s permission
- James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and a high-profile evangelical leader, said Trump recently forged and accepted a “relationship with Christ.”

– We didn't get a drop of rain at the house in Plano yesterday afternoon
– We haven't been to the Perot in a couple of years, did they replace Felix Jones with some other local athlete down where you race various creatures?
– I wonder where'd Jerry come in the rankings if they ranked NFL GMs as players. I guess Elway would finish in first place by a mile.
Felix Jones was replaced with Jamaal Charles of the Kansas City Chiefs. Why someone from the Chiefs? Because the Hunt family's name is on that exhibit.
I'd take a Longhorn over an Arkie any day.
Interesting quotes on the Trump story. Evangelicals and I are both skeptical, but with VERY different expectations of how proof of a relationship would manifest itself. My immediate thought was that if Trump has truly formed a relationship with Christ, that we should immediately see a more compassionate, accepting version of him emerge. Meanwhile, Paul Weber, head of the Family Policy Alliance, had slightly different expectations: "We will be watching, listening and waiting to see how he continues to relate on the critical issues of life, family and religious liberty…"
Hmmmm. Potato, Christato, I guess.
