1. The Dallas City Council is considering strengthening the smoking ban. Zac Crain will probably have more to say about this. In fact, he has a lot more to say about it in his prescient feature story in the February issue (out next week) that predicts this intensified ban and takes a look at the history of smoking in Dallas. Make a mental note to read it.
2. Irving police are filing a murder charge against a 19-year-old who supplied cheese heroin to a 16-year-old who later died from the drug.
3. Have I just missed it, or have we mentioned that Stephenville thinks they saw UFOs? Is that an Tarrant Erath County thing? Discuss.
