1. For now, it looks like we’re still getting that city-owned convention center hotel. And it’s still pretty low on the list of things I wish the city would pay for, right after a maximum-level contract extension for Erick Dampier and just before a kissing booth for that lady on the train last night with no teeth.
2. Two UNT astronomers say they’ve found pieces of a meteor that caused the explosions in the sky that some folks saw over the weekend. Those people include Spider Monkey, who claims to have seen them while in her car — but also can’t remember where she was going, where she was coming from, and didn’t bother to check the internet or the news after seeing something explode in the sky. So, you know, grain of salt.
3. And finally, a high-speed police chase ended this morning when the woman driving stopped to pay a toll at D/FW Airport.

2. Must…stay….awake…They come for you in your sleeeeep!!!!
I could be wrong. It may be zombies and not pod people.
Either/or it doesn’t change my plans for the day — lots of caffeine and long-distance head shots.
Leave Spider Monkey alone or I’ll hurt you. She’s my one fan and cute as a button!
Trey – and tin foil hat making?
The car chase on Channel 8, is like the 9/11 for White Trash car chases.
#3 – Just another reason to have a toll tag.
Spider Monkey rocks! If she said she saw the explosions in the sky, then I believe her. Now, if she can just get those photos of Condi and W.

Rod Dreher, nibbling for once on the hotel-endorsing corporate hand that feeds him now that the truffles are all gone, highlights an interesting consequence of the council hotel vote prior to the May referendum:
“And if construction of the hotel begins before the May 9 referendum, the referendum’s outcome effectively becomes irrelevant to the convention hotel project at hand, since laws in Texas cannot be passed with retroactive effect.”
One thing the Spider monkey does is take great pictures. The ones she took for the Watkins article were fantastic.
That wasn’t an expolsion in the sky, that was the twinkle in Spider Monkey’s eye.
Spider Monkey also does a pretty good Leading Off…bring her’s back this DMN deja vus is getting old.
#3. it’s now reported she was valet parking.
@Brent D.: She has an open invitation.
Oh, an open invitation to write leading off! I thought something else at first…
The headline appears to have been amended. To wit:
And the plot thickens…
So am I to understand that if in Euless I too can evade a police chase if I simply turn off my headlights?
Only if it’s nightime!
