Leading Off (7/22/09)

1. The Dallas Police Department is working on a new tattoo policy. In short, if you got em, keep em covered. At least one cop with a forearm tat says wearing long sleeves in the summer will make it hard to stay hydrated. Chief David Kunkle has at least one tattoo that I’m aware of. If memory serves, he has a Woody the Woodpecker on his shoulder (if I’m wrong, give me a holler, Mrs. Kunkle). Anyway, I’d think he’d be sympathetic to his troops on this one.

2. New info suggests that the economic recovery in Texas might be less tough than elsewhere. And a Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas forecaster says our 2009 job losses might not be as bad as expected, and that 2010 could actually bring job growth. Do you hear that, everyone? Time again to start buying display ads! Call 214-939-3636!

3. For his birthday, Chace Crawford flew 15 of his closest friends from Dallas to the Hamptons. They celebrated by “playing games, kayaking, swimming, and enjoying meals prepared by a private chef.” So there’s that.

Correction: Kunkle’s tat is of the Road Runner.
