1. People looking to save a lot of money and time should probably think twice about jumping on the Green Line to Fair Park. The ride costs $4, and it takes longer than you might think. Of course, those folks who really don’t have a dime –or a minute–to spare probably have no business going to the Fair anyway.
2. Sloan Creek Middle School is closed today because more than 250 kids were absent on Friday. Officials believe most of those had the flu. That amounts to one in three kids enrolled in the school. I know we’re all going to be fine and all, but I have had a “cold” I haven’t been able to kick for about two weeks, and I can’t get ideas of The Stand out of my head. Darn you, Stephen King.
3. Attempted bombing suspect Hosam Smadi’s s old roommate from Italy, Texas, made his television debut last night. Joshua Childress wasn’t what I expected, and I’m not even sure what the purpose of his appearance was. Obviously, he wasn’t able to shed any light on a situation that all but defies explanation. But, heck, he wasn’t even able to remove his silly hat during the interview.
