• There’s a Wal-Mart Super Center across the street from the new Dallas Cowboys stadium.  I wonder how they are going to control that parking lot on game days.
• I like the new improvements at the Cotton Bowl, $57 million worth, but too little too late as that should be home to the Cowboys.  Since a lot of the seats have been replaced, I’m going to miss the old blue and white color scheme.  I’m also a little surprised that it is now the ninth largest stadium in the country, of course, with out luxury suites.
• I don’t think Tony Dorsett ages.
• Great idea . . . an anti-theft lunch bag.
• In retrospect, I think the ESPN Monday Night Football crew should have showed some most memorable high lights of past MNF performances at Texas Stadium.
• I think if you want to be an informed voter, it’s important to check out FactCheck.org from time to time.
• You know times are tough when the Fed chariman says, “We lost control.”
• I wonder if some churches will now be offended if a Ray Boltz song is used in any church related activity.  I can certainly imagine someone making a tribute video to honor someone in church with his song “Thank You” being played.
• Dakota Fanning is growing up.
• What did Cookie Monster ever do to her?
• I found out that another Southwest blog-o-spondent contestant got the same deal as I did, but she will be filming things from a mother’s perspective.  I all of a sudden don’t feel as special.
• I read in a few articles that Sarah Palin has dressed up like Tina Few for Halloween before.  I understand how someone can dress up like Palin and do a characterize of her, but I dont see how someone can dress up like Tina Fey.  If it’s just a matter of wearing glasses nad having brown hair, then WifeGeeding is doing a good job.
• Looks like the U2 album won’t drop until next year, per this article from the band’s website.  That’s why I didn’t get my hopes up when I heard about the Nov 18th drop date from non-confirmed sources.
• That article also mentioned that a lot of the new album is recorded outdoors: 
  He [Bono] also mentions that the recording in Morocco was the first time the band have worked in a studio open to the sky: ‘On that track you can hear the sound of a swallows nest close to the building – it’s beautiful.’
• Random question at work the other day, what is the earliest social event you remember.  That is, something news worthy or that the nation as a whole took part in.  Mine was either Reagan being shot or watching Popeye.
• I don’t know why Hummers getting keyed in Southlake makes the news.  Although I did find it interesting that the high schooler’s hummer and his parent’s Hummer were keyed.
• Tool libraries are a great idea.
• I remember one time during PE in the fourth grade I was picked as soccer captain to select memebers of my team.  I had the very first choice, and rather than pick the fastest or most athletic classmate, I picked the fattest person among us who happened to be a girl to be our goalie.  At the time, I thought it was a pretty stategic move, and I remember her grumbling saying that I only picked her because she was fat and me trying to say that I didn’t even though that was the truth.   I chuckle at that moment now, but I also realize how hard it must have been for her.  I wish I could apologize.

• When we are watching TV in the livingroom, OtherDogGeeding will go to the laundry room where his food is located, grab a mouthful, walk back to the livingroom and empty his mouth.  He will then eat in front of the TV.  He repeats this process about three to four times.

Time is thin, and blogging didn’t make the cut last night.  Regular posting should resume tomorrow, but in the meantime lets open up the BON 5 Words Collaborative Story Game again.

The Rules:

I start off creating a sentence with five words.

Each comment should contain exactly five words, and those five words should help to build a collaborative story.  Feel free to throw punctuation anywhere you desire.

Post any number of comments you wish, just don’t post two comments in a row.

If there is a violation of any of the rules, just ignore the comment in which the rule is broken and I’ll delete it sometime later.

And so it begins:

Fall is around the corner . . .
