• I had a conversation with a man earlier this week who worked hard at the opportunity to tell me his wife was getting a breast reduction the next day.
• We ate at Waffle House on Saturday. Around 8:00 AM a hearse and two limousines parked and four living soles dressed in professional attire walked in. One man in the party offered to pay for everyone’s meal but vehemently stated he doesn’t buy drinks, so someone else in the party asked if all the drinks could be put on his tab. In case you were wondering, we noticed there was a coffin in the hearse as we drove off, but I had no idea if it was empty.
• Fox4 meteorologist Jennifer Myers is leaving the station to work at an electric company. Apparently, the station mandated that she wear a straight-haired wig on the air to cover up her naturally curly hair.

• News coverage of bad weather and wildfires have grown tiresome to me but the lava flow in Hawaii has certainly caught my attention. I learned yesterday there is no such thing as lava insurance.

• I’ve noticed President Trump likes to sign things using this small table. It’s a petty thing for me to fret about, but as a lover of presidential history, I don’t like the optics. The table seems a bit budget and doesn’t bring enough oomph. I guess it’s done to accommodate more press in a room larger than the Oval Office.

• I think I root against a lot of people, like famous athletes, because everyone else seems to like them.
• While watching Amazon’s ‘All or Nothing: The Dallas Cowboys’, Dak Prescott said something that caught my attention. He said the only thing superstitions do is give you an excuse. I like that. What I don’t like is how much Jason Garrett repeats himself when he talks, it’s almost like he’s a redheaded NFL version of Rainman.
• Local reporter Saul Garza is leaving the news reporting business and I can’t blame him, it sounds like it would get old after a while.
  • “I’m just tired of the hours. Tired of the news grind. Covering the same story year after year. Standing at the ‘Hi-5’ during ice storms telling people to stay off the roads. I want to try something else. I have made a ton of connections and I want to use my talents elsewhere.”
• BBC – The woman who watched 300 executions in Texas
  • This one sentence stood out because I feel so many of us can relate, “And because I was young and bold, everything was black and white.”
• Dallas Named America’s Best City For Jobs For Second Year In A Row By Forbes
  • When I see a headline like this, I feel like I’m shortchanging myself by not exploring other jobs and maxing out my potential income. But I really love the people I work for, feel like I’m more than adequately paid, enjoy the challenges and exposure to new technology, and love the balance of my work and professional life.
• Oliver North to be NRA’s new president
  • My high school football coach (I graduated in 1994) had a framed photograph on his desk of Oliver North being sworn in before his Iran-contra testimony. I can’t recall if he had a photo of his wife and kids, but I can certainly recall the Oliver North picture. Back then, I knew who the man in the photo was but wasn’t really familiar what his role in history was. I was too intimidated by my coach to ask him why he had that photo of him on his desk, but he had it placed in such a way that I think he wanted to be asked about it. I think my coach had the distinction of being the last quarterback for the University of Texas at Arlington (1985).
