Palo Pinto Mountains State Park will be the first new state park in North Texas in more than 20 years. The park has spent years in development and is expected to open to visitors in late 2023, the 100th year of the state parks system.
I never thought about it like this – Business is practically guaranteed: more than 2 million visitors show up to the fair each year, according to organizers. But getting a spot on the fair’s midway isn’t always so easy.
Misinformed Hawaiian politician – “My understanding, New York just passed a law where when you give birth, you have 29 days after giving birth to decide whether or not you want to infanticide that baby,”
Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson is now a professional photographer, and often shoots at NFL games. If you are familiar with Johnson, you know his history of accidentally killing a bird with one of his pitches. I mention that because it’s incorporated in his website’s logo.
“My career as a Major League baseball pitcher has been well documented, but what is not as well known is my passion for photography, which began when I studied photojournalism at the University of Southern California from 1983-85. Baseball became my occupation for two decades but my love of photography never left. Following my 2010 retirement, I was able to focus my attention back to this passion.“
Angela Lansbury died. I remember when Murder She Wrote would follow 60 Minutes. As a kid, I couldn’t think of anything else that could have been more old and boring than those two shows back-to-back. Both signaled the end of the weekend.
You just don’t see football facemasks with a middle vertical bar in the center between the eyes anymore. I never understood how anyone could wear those things without getting cross-eyed or distracted.

Richard Nixon’s Secret Visit With Coretta Scott King – Nixon came in part to avoid attending the funeral, but he also brought a check-later lost-for her children’s education, according to a family friend finally telling the story.
I still enjoy walking down the coffee aisle at the grocery store and smelling the aroma. I may smile every time.
As a kid and teen, I always wanted to check out Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Texas. I’m surprised I haven’t been there as an adult. I hear if you don’t want to be scared, you can buy an eight-dollar “No Boo” necklace so the actors know to stay away from you.
It’s awkward running into your ex at the grocery store with your kids.
Football has become a bit more fun with teams willing to go for it on fourth down more often.
We have the technology to send a rocket to crash into an asteroid 6.8 million miles away, but we still measure first downs with two sticks and a chain.
The last three times the Cowboys won the Super Bowl, their defense gave up an average of 254 points (over a 16-game season). If they maintain their current average of 14.4 points a game, that would be 244 points over 17 games. But, we all should hold our horses.
