- Last night was National Night Out and our neighborhood put together a block party complete with pizza, ice cream, and having the fire department and paramedics display a fire truck and ambulance for the kids to check out. As soon as they got all set up they got a call and darted off like super heroes and were back probably 20-minutes later. It provided a nice learning opportunity for the kiddos on their importance to the community and what they do.
- While standing in the ice cream line I struck up a conversation with a friendly elderly man. I told him what street I lived on and asked him the same. He politely asked me to wait a moment, pulled out a small spiral notebook from his shorts pocket, gingerly turned a few pages, and then read off his address. It was equal parts touching and concerning.
- If I ever need to get my wife to leave an outside event early I just have to mention that I think I saw a mosquito.
- I’ve made 25 push-ups a part of my morning routine for about a month and a half now. Here’s hoping I can stick to it.
- I’m getting gray on the sides, I always thought I’d be “more accomplished” before that happened. Not to mention, it’s weird seeing so many folks older than me who have not a fleck of gray, and I’m left wondering what percentage of them colors it. In case you are wondering, I’m 38 in Earth years.
- My ear-tubes were inserted in January and they still haven’t come out. I was told four or fives months for them to come out on their own.

- All members of the House and Senate should submit such a letter. One has introduced a bill – No Government – No Pay Act. The cynic in me tells me these acts were only done after the encouragement from a PR firm.
- There’s a friend I don’t get to see often and he dropped by yesterday to pick up something. I swear everytime I’m around that guy I just feel happier and more positive about life. I wish I could have that affect on people like he does.

I’m only posting this because of how dramatic the arm guy is, which is quite comical.

- Walt is dead and so are the Rangers.
- I had my annual physical yesterday, which for me is really a quinquennial event. It’s basically just waiting for blood work to come in but I was expecting a prostrate exam, lucky for me that’s not going to happen until I’m 40.
- Speaking of 40, I watched This is 40 over the weekend and connected and enjoyed it.
- There’s a sign in my doctor’s office restroom that annoys me, it sez: Do “not” lean on sink.
- BoyGeeding’s real name is Walter. I’m tempted to make him into a miniature Walter White for Halloween and his sister tagging along as Jesse.
- For unknown reasons I’ve started to change my signature. At
- The Dallas Observer just finished their 50 Most Interesting Restaurants list.
- DFW as much as it would like to claim to be, isn’t a baseball kinda town, and Ian Kinsler tried to say it as nicely as possible.
- The Cookville, TN Police Department has a unique website. I think they take themselves pretty seriously.

- Coach pleads no contest to devising play to hurt student heckler – And you probably thought it was a male coach.
- I try to be understanding of an opposing political view, but I don’t understand what the Tea Party Republicans are doing regarding Obamacare in terms of our system of government. Congress passed it, the president signed it, the Supreme court upheld it, Obama campaigned on it and was reelected, saying it’s not the will of the people is unjustifiable, and yet they tried to overturn the law over 41 times. Come on, accept how our government works, we’ve all seen School House Rock. Hey, I wasn’t happy with the Bush/Gore election results and the legalities of it and the Supreme Court ruling, but I respected it and moved on.
- I have to admit I have a vested interest because the shutdown affects my employment. It was around midnight last night that I was contacted and told my project is considered essential, so I will not be one of the furloughed employees.

- BrBa thoughts and stuff:
- Walter White’s remote New Hampshire cabin was built from scratch by the show’s set department.
- I know Vince Gilligan says differently, but I think when Walt told Skylar he was doing it for himself and not the family, he was lying. I believe Walt was doing it for the family (and of course it got way out of hand) but told Skylar it was for him because he didn’t want his last visit with her to be on bad terms, and in doing so Skylar would be more willing to let him see Holly one last time.
- I wonder if Walt ever checked those lottery tickets to see if he actually won.
- I knew that originally that Jesse was going to die in the first season, but I didn’t know that the original story had it all ending with the death of Gus.
