Leading Off (06/22/09)
1. The Dallas North Tollway continues to confound drivers late at night/early morning. Saturday night, someone opted to use the southbound lanes to head from Wycliffe Avenue over to Lovers Lane. That driver made it. The guy who attempted that trick a few hours later in Frisco was less successful–he, and the the two people he injured, are at Parkland. This is happening too often to be a mere fluke. Might I suggest taking the traffic light-filled Preston Road once the sun sets until some sort of breathalyzer situation happens at the toll booths?
2. Dallas wins 8th place in the country for “owner give up.” The scam: people report their cars stolen to the insurance company when in reality they’ve just never picked them up from the over-priced valet at the Joule or they’ve set them on fire in front of their ex-boyfriend’s house in order to let him know that you can’t treat people like that. I mean, I’m just guessing here. My car is paid for. No problems here. No sir.
3. It is way hot outside, people. But lest you think that’s an excuse to sit in your house and watch bad television, this DMN article says it isn’t so. People continue to do things outside like play tennis, soccer, and baseball–they even watch hot-air balloons. I know, right? I’m changing my ways.
