1. When Reunion Arena is dismantled, it’s possible there will be a public auction of its unusable parts, including the green seats and, most likely, the remnants of James Donaldson’s knees. Implosion is an option only if someone in Hollywood wants to pay the city to film it for a movie. No offers yet, although my action-adventure screenplay (think Die Hard meets North Dallas Forty) just got a new scene added.

2. A Frisco homeowners association is telling a Stonebriar resident that he can’t park his brand new Ford F-150 truck in the driveway because it’s not classy enough. This is understandable. It’s Frisco, after all. If it doesn’t look appropriate in the Ikea parking lot, it shouldn’t be allowed within city limits.

3. Nastia Liukin takes silver! Nastia Liukin takes silver! It’s her fifth medal of the Olympics! She’s very bendy!
