Santa hits Mesquite

Santa visited my old school, I.N. Range Elementary. OK, not really sure this is the real Santa but I’m always a sucker for seeing kids be excited about him.

Just wish he made a pitstop at my place and dropped off that HDTV I’d been asking for. Never understood why they kept calling security when I went to go sit on his lap.

Throwing up in my mouth

Ugh, I really wish I hadn’t just read this.

So, some meat got stolen. 15,000 pounds of it. Yeah. The truck is recovered, some meat is gone and now health peeps are launching a search for people who may have bought the (stolen?) beef because it’s tainted with E. coli.

What made me throw up is the fact that the article says Chicken Shack over on Lamar “unknowingly purchased the contaminated beef from someone within the past few days.” Unknowingly? Someone?? Who does business like that? Fortunately, they said they hadn’t opened and sold any of the meat.

In the meantime, don’t buy meat from “someone” labled EST. 13116.” If you did, well, yer an idiot and you should just throw it out now.

i Fratellis just lost a customer

Yesterday, in a leisurely drive at noon, I was on Hall Street @ Cedar Springs/Turtle Creek heading east toward Uptown from Oak Lawn. I’m behind one car at a light and a car pulls next to me on my right in the turn lane. Light turns green, we proceed only to find out, Turn Lane Guy is busting in on my lane and wedged his d@mn a$$ in front of my car almost causing a wreck. Inches from wreckage I appropriately laid in on my horn. He tried to pull off that I didn’t know what I was doing look and offered no gestures of apology.

Thankfully, my phone was handy. As I got it ready, I think he may have figured what I was doing and started zooming away. I was able to snap this shot.

See as he tries to get away? And notice no turn signal either. If you even think I caught the pic in between light blinks, then be off with you. Fortunately, I noticed way back at the light that sign on top of the car clearly says i Fratellis. So in passive aggressive nature, I have decided not to patronize their pizzeria. Which saddens me because that place is fan-friggin-tastic. But thanks to their idiot in a white Nissan Altima (I think?), I will never partake in their pies again. And it made going to Pastazios Pizza for lunch that day oh so sweeter.

Screw you i Fratellis delivery driver. I hope your car turns over one day and the pizza boxes will open and the hot cheese will burn your face. And then I will stand over the carnage laughing with my Pastazios pizza slice and my vengeance.

Tail Gate

I saw this car on Saturday in Las Colinas. I almost have no words but I do know I wouldn’t drive too close behind it for fear of sparks flying into my car.
