- I loved this moment from Obama’s first inauguration. Sasha was six or seven, and just as cute as can be, and gives her father a simple thumbs up with an adorable grin. While many may have been touched at the swearing of the nation’s first black president, I was simply touched seeing a young daughter knowing a man simply as nothing but a dad and giving him her approval. It was just a sweet, innocent, non-scripted moment.

- For you armchair plumbers out there, I’m seeking your counsel. Our half bath is downstairs immediately across from our laundry room. Every now and then, and I think it happens sometime after we run the washing machine, we smell something as if it’s coming from the sewer. I’ve used my sniffer to try to isolate the smell, but I can’t tell where it is coming from. I don’t think it’s coming from the toilet I installed not too long ago because I”m thinking the water in the bowl and tank prevent any gasses from coming up. I doubt it’s the sink in the half bath mainly for the same reason and how a p-trap is designed. The washing machine hasn’t shown any sign of leakage and it’s been cleaned and deodorized, and I don’t think the area in the wall where the washing machine waste water is dispensed is the culprit. I’m stumped, any thoughts?
- An Azle restaurant didn’t quite think through an MLK promotion. When I lived in Mineral Wells, there was a certain perception we had of Azle when it came to race relations. But then again, I was a kid, and things could have been blown out of proportion and I could have succumbed to rumors.
- She quickly learned from a friend that Monday’s special of chicken and waffles with a side of watermelon wasn’t such a good idea. “I wasn’t thinking about the historical (context),” she said. “I was thinking, we have margaritas and tacos on Cinco de Mayo, so, let’s have some fun with Martin Luther King Day.”

Odd Interview on Fox News
It’s not every day that a television news outlet purposely invites hoaxers in order to confront them live on air about their hoax. But that’s exactly what Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson tried on Tuesday night — to incredibly bizarre results.

Frozen Fox
I’d like the story better if Frozen Caveman Lawyer found the fox.
“I’m just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by scientists. But there is one thing I do know. We must do everything in our power to lower the capital gains tax. Thank you!”
BERLIN (AP) — A hunter in Germany has put on show a block of ice containing a fox that he says fell into the chilly Danube and drowned, in what he calls a warning of the dangers of the icy river.
Franz Stehle told news agency dpa on Friday that the block containing the fox was extracted from the ice on Jan. 2 and put on display outside his family’s hotel in Fridingen. The town is on the upper reaches of the Danube, close to its source in southwestern Germany.
Stehle says it’s not unusual for animals to break through the frozen surface of the river in winter. He says he’s seen a frozen deer and wild boar before.
