- DaughterGeeding was walking on the living room floor, shrieked, and said she had a thorn in her foot. I got some tweezers and removed it, and told her that as flimsy as the thorn was, she shouldn’t be in so much pain. Later in the evening when I was about to go to bed, I noticed a dead bee on the floor. Yup, you guessed it, she got stung by a bee and the thorn was the stinger. Proof: WifeGeeding verified the “thorn” came from the bee.
- I caught the first episode of NBC’s ‘Better Late Than Never’ with William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw. I saw a few commercials but knew nothing about it other than it had those four guys going to Asia, and since I like the personalities of all those guys, I figured why not. I mean, it has Captain Kirk and the Fonz, that in itself is funny. To my surprise, it’s more like a reality series. All of them don’t play characters, but just themselves and a film crew is following them around. Granted, some of it is scripted, but it was pretty enjoyable.
- William Shatner looks great for an 85-year-old man. The show stated he was born before the “Star Spangled Banner” became our national anthem.
- To my surprise, and I’m surprised and I never noticed it before, but Winkler actually changes his voice when he plays the Fonz.
- WifeGeeding took one of the cast members of the show ‘Fixer Upper’ to a formal when she was at Baylor. I think it was the carpenter. When she drops this tidbit on friends when the show becomes a topic of conversation, they all respond in a way as if she settled for me or could have had things so much better.
- Baylor coach Jim Grobe briefly addresses dog video incident, then says the dreaded words of Waco: ‘Let’s talk football a little bit’
- Former head coach Art Briles almost said that exact phrase when asked about Sam Ukwuachu’s sexual-assault case. The Boise State transfer was found guilty and sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation.
- The Zip N Store seems like a good idea as long as you don’t have a hole or tear in your bag.
- Google is using AI to compress photos, just like on HBO’s Silicon Valley
- Last week, Barry over at LiberallyLean.com posted this image and it really got me thinking about my driving habits.
- Personally, if there is no stripe in the middle I will hug the curb. If there is a stripe, I’d follow the rule in the image.
- The image makes a good point about the advantage of driving to the far curb stating both drivers can see oncoming traffic better. But I had some reservations:
- If there were a queue of vehicles, depending on how they follow this rule, it could block the opposite driver from turning.
- It doesn’t really work if you have a trailer attached.
- If there were a queue of vehicles, depending on how they follow this rule, it could block the opposite driver from turning.
- After about a week of observing what others do, I finally decided to do some research (Ticket listeners, insert George Digiani drop here).
- From the Texas Constitution and Statues Transportation Code:
- CHAPTER 545. OPERATION AND MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES section (2) (c) “On a street or roadway designated for two-way traffic, the operator turning left shall, to the extent practicable, turn in the portion of the intersection to the left of the center of the intersection”
- The Texas Department of Transportation states it depends on the width of the medium:
- And finally, the Texas Highway Man (with a title and website like that, he’s gotta be legit, right?) provides additional detail:
- From the Texas Constitution and Statues Transportation Code:
