Tuesday, June 27th, 2006Downtown Dallas has seen it’s share of warehouse fires over the years and here’s another one:
A large fire near downtown Dallas damaged at least two businesses in a large warehouse Monday night.
…and while I appreciate the due diligence…
The cause of the fire, in the 100 block of Glass Street near the intersection of Oak Lawn Avenue and Industrial Boulevard, had not been determined.
…I’m not sure that it’s going to be all that much of a mystery:
The building houses Antique Drapery Rod Co. and its sister company, Anna Sova, which makes sheets and candles, said Jez Luckett, an accounts manager for Antique Drapery Rod.
They’re saying their dog went over there
Monday, June 26th, 2006I think i might have finally solved the problem of the confusing homonyms included in the title. Using context for clues, we can almost always determine usage, so why not chop it down to one word that represents all three:
thei’re
So thei’re ya go, mark this neolgism in that thei’re dictionary.
Had some time to kill and found this
Friday, June 23rd, 2006What? Where?
Friday, June 23rd, 2006Local news in smaller towns can be brutal. Denise whatshername’s workout show is shot at very scenic ocean overlooks, but if you aren’t into jazzercise, it’s time to move on. The banter on Fox and Friends is almost unbearable. Saved by the Bell isn’t on early enough. So recently I’ve been in a rut of watching CNN/HN in the morning at hotels. The seugues can be a beating, but at least it fills in the gaps until I can read my gratis copy of USA Today (which I have a theory that 99% of their circulation is based on delivery to hotels).
Head On has been advertising a lot lately, and the commercials are amazingly repetitive and uninformative. But damn if I don’t want to apply it directly to my forhead to see what magic happens.
This is exactly why I don’t have a television in my bedroom.

Monday, June 12th, 2006Not being very nice about politicians
Monday, June 12th, 2006Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

No, I wanted Dr.Pepper for my Coke!
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006You know you’ve met someone from the south when it takes two terms to order the correct soft drink (and you know that person is from the good part of the south if they use ya’ll in the surrounding sentences as well, but I digress). Now you can begin to break down the geographic demographics even further. Soda? Pop? No thanks, I’ll just have my coke.
Congressional voting history since 1991
Monday, June 5th, 2006Should prove useful during the next national voting cycle when there *might* be a couple of current senators running.
