1. There was some news and stuff yesterday. DISD approved its budget, the Legislature’s special session may not save funds needed for Dallas road projects, Public Utility Commission officials are scared the grid’s gonna get overloaded if we don’t stop using hair dryers, and the Mavs drafted a French guy, ensuring I will be talking like this for about a week. But all anyone wants to talk about today, let’s admit, are the following two things:
2. Farrah Fawcett (local link: Corpus Christi native) passes.
3. Michael Jackson (local link: songs played in greater DFW area, including at The Ginger Man last night) died, too. Why mention these? Because it just seems like the right thing to do. And we really need the web traffic.
