Tollway Authority To Start Towing Scofflaws’ Cars. Maybe. Defense attorneys think they can’t and the DPS isn’t saying if they will or won’t.

Richardson Deals With Giant Beehive. It belongs to Doris Feffernack, who’s been wearing the hairstyle proudly since 1957. OK, that is true, but there is also a real beehive as big as a 9-year-old girl and as moody as a 16-year-old girl, and as irritating as Tim Rogers, a 42-year-old girl.

Next Year, DMA Will Recreate Art JFK Saw Before His Death. This is actually pretty interesting, so I’ll save the jokes. Since I have some space: if you learned juggling was going to become an official Olympic sport in 2016, would that make you more or less likely to grow a mustache?
