The artifacts inside the copper chest were remarkably well intact. Credit for that goes to the church’s Ladies Aide Society, the group that buried the capsule a century ago. The group buried the chest in double concrete walls and under 12 inches of concrete.

  • I’m starting to not follow breaking news and just play catch up later.  For instance it sounded like the Texas Lottery was officially put to pasture, and then it’s back again.  I didn’t follow the story close at all yesterday, but there seemed to be a lot of knee jerk reactions.

  • As much as a non-Baylor fan as I am, I don’t think the press has been properly covering how the university has been helping with the West tragedy.  I’m also a bit curious how President Obama will be welcomed on campus.  This will mean the past two administrations have visited the campus, which has to be a pretty big straw in their cap.

  • I’ve seen people put mustard on hot dogs.  I’ve seen people put ketchup on hot dogs.  It wasn’t until yesterday that I saw someone put mayonnaise on a hot dog, and that person was my wife.  How do I go being married to her for almost a decade and not know about this travesty?
  • There’s a bit of irony with the love affair Boston has for Neil Diamond who was actually born in Brooklyn.  I also recently discovered that Michael Jordan was also born in Brooklyn.
  • I’m not sure what I find more interesting, that Neil Diamond is not a stage name but his real name, or that he attended NYU on a fencing scholarship.
  • Sometime last year I was at a birthday party and the hosting couple was complaining about how Obama was giving handouts, how they would never accept, and stated that any Obama supporters should just leave.  I just kept quiet as to not make a scene, after all, the attention of the party should be on the birthday person and not politics.  Last week that couple sent me a letter asking for funds to support them on a mission trip.  I’m not sure what’s so different about what they are doing and asking for a handout.

  • On WFAA’s front page last night was an article related to the JFK assassination.  You’d think with five president’s visiting this week they would hold off on that sort of thing for a week.  And can you image the dark cloud this city would be under if something tragic happens during the George W. Bush Library and Museum opening on Thursday?
