1. A lot of you people didn’t vote yesterday. The big decisions were with the DISD board, where Edwin Flores kept his seat but districts 3 and 9 will have a runoff December 3. A little more than 5 percent of registered voters turned out. So the good news is, everyone (in those two districts at least) gets a second chance to participate.
2. Dirk Nowitzki went for 29 last night — in the fourth quarter. Somebody ought to do a story on that guy. I don’t know, like an appreciation piece, something that reminds people just how special Dirk is and what he’s meant to this team and city. I’m going to pitch that idea is this week’s editorial meeting. Glad I thought of it.
3. Wait, wait, wait. A few weeks ago, they threw a party on the Continental Bridge to celebrate an anonymous $10 million donation that would transform it into a “living bridge” for pedestrians only. Now, though, comes news that they’re thinking about about putting a streetcar line across that bridge — which says neither “pedestrian only” nor “living” to me. WTF, mate? Does this mean that if they decide to change their minds, we can have another party? Oh, okay. Never mind then. Proceed!
