Jim Schutze and Michael Davis Have a Conversation About Scrap Yard

Only, it’s hard to follow because part is on Unfair Park and the Dallas Observer, and part of it is on Michael Davis’ blog.

So I will help.

First, Jim said this. And this.

And then Michael  says, “Nuh-uh. This and this.”

And then Jim says, “Oh yeah? This. And totally THIS.”

And today, Michael says, “Haters stay losing – THIS.”

So there you have it, in chronological order, the conversation. In one place. You’re welcome.

Dear Richardson Police: What the What, and Really?

I’ve been traveling 635 to 75 from Midway to Plano nearly every day for two years now. Once a month or so, you encounter some heinous gridlock right about the time you approach the High Five – right about at the top of the ramp.

You always think it’s a wreck. Something monstrous. You diddle with your traffic app on your iPhone, and it doesn’t say anything about a massive wreck. The giant parking lot eventually creeps up to the culprit: Two Richardson squad cars and one unmarked, on the side of the road, with at least two cars pulled over.

So I have to ask: Really, Richardson? Setting up a speed trap during rush hour is a good thing? City revenue so tight you really need to run a speed trap at the bottom of the High Five? And how is this safe, exactly?

Leading Off (5/11/10)

1. Ross Perot Jr. is suing Mark Cuban, claiming the Mavericks are insolvent or on the verge of it. Cuban responded by cuing up “Thunderstruck” and laughing sort of creepily.

2. A security guard accused of burglary at the Sixth Floor Museum is claiming conspiracy. Oliver Stone is in talks to bring his story to the big screen.

3. “CJ Davila was playing on the train tracks behind his family’s Garland home when he admittedly made a bad choice and tried to grab onto the train for a ride.”
