- There were certain pencil sharpeners in school, depending where they were mounted, that would really tear up your knuckles. But it was fun being the one to find it full enough to empty the shavings.
- When I first heard that the Kidd Kraddick public memorial would be held outdoors in August, I thought it was bad planning. But lucky for them, they got a major break in the weather with it only being in the 80’s. Here’s an article about his daughter who was about four hours away for auditioning for ‘The Voice’ when she heard of her father’s passing. She was understandably upset the media and Mark Cuban broadcast his death before she could inform Kidd’s siblings.
- I made a comment yesterday that Timmy on ‘The Bridge’ looked like Patrick Swayze from the grave and someone pointed out it actually his younger brother, and it’s true.
- Last night was date night for us and we took advantage of a gift certificate to the Estilo Gaúcho Brazilian Steakhouse in Frisco. I mentioned before how friendly, attentive, and professional the staff were, and once again they exceptional. We also think they are the best Brazillian steakhouse in all of DFW when it comes to food and highly recommend it.
- Outside of Stonebriar Center was a funky looking building about four stories tall being built that had a banner GuessWhatThisIs.com. I think it’s going to be that indoor skydiving business I posted about a while back.

- Fox Sports 1, the all sports channel that will seriously challenge ESPN starts on Saturday. If you are a DirecTV subscriber, it will be on channel 219. I tuned out on ESPN a long time ago because Sports Center was nothing but fluff, so I welcome the competition which should increase quality.

Be Buried in a Large Communal Cross in a Nevada Desert
The Great Cross is a massive columbarium and mausoleum that will be a physical memorial to Jesus Christ. This Christian monument will be much larger than the Great Pyramids at Giza and Cholula, making it the largest religious edifice ever built.
The Great Cross is designed to show worldwide unity and commitment to Christ. It is designed to last more than ten thousand years, and to pass Christian scripture forward to hundreds of future generations.
For more details visit www.TheGreatCrossAlliance.com. I posted pricing information below.

Bag of Randomness
- Yup, this blog has been running for eight years, and this is approximately the 1,035th Bag of Randomness. I think I’ll go for a full decade and then reevaluate from there.
- Yesterday we took a brief tour of our local Blue Bell Ice Cream freezer. I think our tour guide said it was 20 degrees below zero, but it was hard to hear him over the cries of DaughterGeeding who didn’t enjoy the cold. The ‘coolest’ part is when you first walk in and see nothing but foggy frost and then looking up at three or four stories of ice cream, which I think he said was about a two weeks supply. I asked the busiest time of the year, and I think he said Thanksgiving and oddly, Mothers’ Day.
- My mother would have turned 65 today.
- As as kid I always wanted a Hard Rock Cafe shirt that displayed a city name under the logo. I finally got one when they went out of style.
- This is really a crazy picture that I thought was manipulated – Sea–scientists off Delaware catch shark within a shark
- Yesterday my Wise County blogging lawyer cyber-friend wrote about Mary Decker and Zola Budd, and I didn’t have a clue who they were. But while channel flipping I happened to catch the documentary he saw and it was pretty darn good. It appears that U.S. women athletes aren’t gracious in losing, she certainly wasn’t in her frustration, and of course our latest example. I’m surprised the latter didn’t get more heat for her bad attitude, but I guess that’s the norm nowadays.
- As for the winner of the Decker/Budd race, I can’t shake the image of the blonde Romanian’s dark under arm hair that was displayed as she rose her arms in victory.
- Remember when channel flipping before the digital TV and the channel guide? It was a fun little game to flip through 30 channels during a commercial break, and when you timed it just right, it was glorious.
- The book Heaven Is for Real is turning into a movie and will star Greg Kinnear.
- When I think of greatest NFL coaches, Joe Gibbs ranks pretty darn high on my list. It’s one thing to win a multiple Super Bowls, but to wind three with three different quarterbacks says something. Who else has come close to doing something similar?
- Archive of Texas history at Baylor University turning to social media to promote holdings
- The PGA will no longer allow the Colonial to have their traditional caddie races. I never knew they existed.
- I know it’s going to sound insensitive, but regarding that UPS plane crash, I wonder how many packages were lost.
- Texas will have their first Tesla super charging station that will open on Aug 20 in San Marcos.
- I tend to think there should be an age limit to fantasy football, like 35.
- The best professional football team in North Texas is a team of women.
- Dog the Bounty Hunter to pursue Snowden Bounty
- Not this is a crazy basketball shot.
- The Timmy guy that appeared towards the end of ‘The Bridge’, the guy that was one the phone, looked like Patrick Swayze from the grave.
