1. A man in an unmarked Crown Victoria pulled someone over the other day. The removable red light, the police-ish uniform, and maybe even the way he went about “searching” her gave the poor woman the creeps, and she ran away. Luckily, he did not give chase. Beware men in unmarked cars–a police spokesperson says that cops in unmarked cars rarely make routine traffic stops.
2. Craig Morris went to the Dallas County Jail last summer with a nasty case of pneumonia, and he left with…Well, he didn’t actually leave at all. The guy died. Despite pleas from other inmates to take him to the hospital, officers apparently didn’t think the guy was all that sick. In fact, a few minutes before he died, one officer said, “We decided not to wake him, as lying on the floor must have felt good to him, as the concrete was cool.” Beware the Dallas County Jail if you have any maladies. (Or maybe just avoid it altogether.)
3. The Dallas Cowboys lost. Again. Beware all those who cheer for them, refer to them as “America’s Team,” don jerseys, paint faces, attend games, and/or watch football on television. Basically, you should stay home today because everyone you encounter will be grouchy.

Maybe the Cowboys are the new old Red Sox of football.
art conspiracy 5, was a freaking blast. It is a remarkable view of the part of Dallas, I completely love. It was a grass roots, all volunteer event. Transforming a vacant warehouse in West Dallas to an art auction, concert venue. I believe over 1200 people attended. We’ll announce the numbers later, but we raised money for charity.

very creative, fun event.
Hmm… I was pulled over in the spring by an unmarked police car that didn’t like the fact that I pulled into his lane without using a turn signal. Not speeding, just failure to use a turn signal. Maybe he didn’t get the memo about rarely making routine traffic stops. Or he was just feeling extra vigilant that day…
Any word if the “officer” asked if she had any handcuffs or a badge he could borrow? Or maybe a massage table or some lotion?
