1. U.S. home prices have fallen by a record 18 percent from October last year. In Dallas, though? Only a 3 percent drop. By my math, then, things in Dallas suck 15 percent less hard than everywhere else!

2. Over here, Dave Levinthal is asking people to vote on the most effective Dallas City Council member. So far, Angela Hunt is in the lead with three votes. That’s three people who took the time to vote!

3. A fan showed up yesterday at Valley Ranch to protest the lack of effort from the Cowboys. He got into a scuffle with Bradie James, who allegedly and perhapsedly broke the fan’s sunglasses. As James optimisticly noted: “[I]t just goes to show you are the heart of the city. When we lose, people take it personally.” Someone cared enough to protest!
