Mansfield Man Jailed For Missing Jury Duty Five Times: Jose Bocanegra’s excuse was “Yeah I don’t want to wait,” which, really, is pretty spot-on.

Pantego Woman Sues Cops Over Burst Implant: I don’t know anything about breast implants, but it seems the technology should’ve advanced enough that I shouldn’t have to type that headline, no?

Goodbye, Bethany: I’m taking over the Friday Leading Off from Bethany Anderson, beloved commenter turned FrontBurner contributor. I will try to take the YouTube baton and run with it. Thanks for the memories.

welcome sir and thanks Bethany. You were always a delight to read. Started my day right.
Friday was always my favorite Leading Off, partly for content, partly because it was ready with my first cup of coffee.
So far: check, check
Bethany set a pretty high Friday morning bar.
Bethany, I hope to see you in the comments. You’ve been part of this blog for a long time. You will always be welcome.
Busted implant over a headlight violation.
I see what you did there.
I had the over-under at four comments before a headlight joke, Phelps. I appreciate everyone’s restraint.
I don’t comment much but I do stalk these halls daily as a reader. Bethany’s Friday Morning Leading Off was always my favorite post of the week. Thank you Bethany!! I hope we still get a great B. Anderson post every now and then. And Bradford, I enjoyed reading your posts on Oak Cliff People. Good luck with FrontBurner!
Yeah, Bethany rocks.
Bradford, did your parents name your brother Bartlett Pearson?
Welcome.
