Leading Off
1. The accident that killed UNT student Ashley Parra is just unbelievably tragic.
2. Seven cars were set on fire in Oak Cliff by someone who had probably recently watched the first 20 minutes of Goodfellas. “I hope you’re satisfied,” said one victim, Carlton Johnson. “You really don’t know the kind of inconvenience you put the victims to.” I know that quote is sort of out of context. But if it were me? [Expletive deleted] would get a workout.
3. Like Vanessa WilliamsWhitney Houston (early, sorry), T. Boone Pickens believes that children are our future. Instead of writing a song, he gave $10 million (a.k.a. “walking around money”) to the Museum of Nature and Science. Gotta play to your strengths.

Whitney believed that children are our future. I can’t for the life of me remember what Vanessa sang.
That accident reminded me of John LaBella’s untimely death several years ago. Tragic.
Boone is just spoiling us first so he can later screw us over the price of water.
I wonder if Channel 4 found that accident to be funny if it weren’t, you know, so serious.
