"Unfreedom of the Press" by Mark Levin also has a chapter on this.

Hope this isn't too racy for Smoaky guidelines, but here he is working on his car. This is the actual guy referenced in the story; he's notorious around the Diana area. A friend of mine who lives near him snapped this while driving by on US259.

I read some sports column the other day that projected that DeShaun Watson would be the Patriots quarterback in 2021. What do you think O'Brien could get in return for Watson in a trade? Maybe a punter off the Pats practice squad and an eighth round draft choice?

It just looks like propaganda due to your flerspective.

Mine had nicer wheel covers. but otherwise looked like this.

If you cook it in the oven, you are using coal in a way, as a substantial amount of electricity is generated by burning coal. But what you use to BBQ is charcoal, something very different. If it was meant as a joke, sorry I missed it but this hits close to home since i work at a coal mine.. And Dalton, Hank Hill would be proud if you.

Here's mine, a '64 Fairlane that my grandmother bought used for about $800 in 1972. She drove it over 20 years and I wound up with it after she passed on. Finally got it restored recently, upgrading from the little-old-lady six cylinder to a 302 from an Explorer paired with an AOD transmission. Much more fun now when you step on the go pedal. Anybody else want to show off?

Whether or not Mav01 believes this flat earth nonsense, he certainly has the debate style down pat. As a long time professional surveyor, I would advise him against using Eric Dubay's proof #7 in further debates. I just finished a project involving line of sight issues between distant radio towers, and guess what I had to include in my calculations? That's right, curvature of the earth. And I didn't use the flerfers magic 8" formula, a simple estimation tool for short distances which is routinely misapplied in flat earth arguments, instead opting for real geometry to make sure that pesky hill is not in the way. I'd be happy to meet with Mav01 and perform some simple experiments with real survey equipment that would settle the matter. BUT All surveyors are Freemasons; it's a requirement to even enter the profession. As such, we are duty bound to continue the lie about the globe in order to keep the masses from realizing the truth about NASA and the moon landings, deny chemtrails, and discredit the bible. All of our math is structured and our instruments demonically calibrated to skew the law of perspective, yielding results that reinforce the idea of a curved earth and deny what we can easily discern with our senses. It is obvious that a former yoga teacher knows more about measurement and the shape of the earth than I do. SO There won't be any meeting to do real world experiments, due to flat earth logic like the paragraph above. My guess is that it would be a lot like the $100,000 Myrtle Beach (sucker bet) survey challenge. In short, I am unwilling to play Wallace to his Rowbotham/Hampden. One last thing, a random question. What's the deal with all the people in the flat earth movement with the first name Nathan? Coincidence or Conspiracy???

there, their, they're

According to the Spring Hill School website, the meet on 4/7 is the Bill Secord Relays and the 16-3A district meet is in Carthage on 4/13 and 4/14.

Brett Favre, still the only player to quarterback the Packers to a Super Bowl loss.

Shirley, he will be missed.

Apparently, cumulative voting is used in numerous school board elections in Texas. Proponents say that it eliminates the need to draw up districts and prevents gerrymandering. Opponents say that allows the deck to be stacked for one or two specific candidates. If all voters are given the same six votes, I really don't see the problem. I didn't see in the article an indication that only hispanic voters got multiple votes.

Have you ever seen a better race than the boys 800 meters? Five wide with 100 to go and all five finishing better than 2:02.

District 17-3A meet in Tatum April 14 and 15 according to the schedule I'm looking at. Expect to find me at the Burger Barn around noon on the 14th.

I managed to catch the last three inning of this gem. I really enjoyed it because both Zeilinger and Griffith played on a DETBA team I coached when they were 11 year olds.

The 1600 races looked more like cross county starts than a track meet, but it was good that everyone who stayed to run got to run. Someone near me said he counted 37 in the boys race. In the girls race, a runner from Texas High (Madison Sewall??) dominated, winning by 50+ meters. The boys event turned into a three man race with Gary Duncan of Spring Hill edging Shane Floyd of John Tyler and a runner from Lufkin. I didn't stay for the 4*400 relays. Question for Marshall fans: Was Tijerina okay? He ran slower than I expected and just didn't look comfortable out there.

I was looking over the information sheet for the meet and saw opening heights for pole vault were listed in the following order. 1A-5A JVG 1A-3A VG 4A-5A VG 1A-3A JVB 1A-3A VB 4A-5A JVB 4A-5A VB Can anyone confirm whether or not the running events will have the different classes in this order?

Joe Allen's is offficially on my list as a must try. My younger son is starting college in Abilene this fall, so I probably will find myself out there from time to time.

As I understand the UIL rules, an athlete may compete in no more than 2 of the following races in a given track meet: 400, 800, 1600, 3200. Having competed in 2 of those races, the athlete may run in one more race not on the list or be a member of one relay team. It is a weird function of the rule that a runner who competes in say the 3200 and 800 is inelegible to run the open 400 meters, but can be a member of a 4X400 relay team. Venegas from Kilgore ran the 3200-800-4X400 schedule at the Pine Tree meet. Courtney and Pauley are definitely two others who can hang up some good times in the distance events. My son (the Spring Hill runner mentioned above) and Pauley are Facebook buddies and have been bemoaning the fact that WR's and SH's schedules do not coincide at any meets. They would love to run against each other. SH will be at the Gilmer meet tonight. Does anyone know about other teams that will be there. I heard that Kilgore, Whitehouse, Daingerfield, and Diana were at Gladewater last night, and I believe Tatum is scheduled to be in Atlanta on Saturday.

Before anyone else has a chance to complain, let me assure you that yes, there are errors and/or omissions on this list. I noticed when I read it in the paper this morning, a couple of athletes that I am familiar with, have better marks than they are credited with here. Apparently results from the White Oak meet were not included in the boys' rankings, although the girls' rankings from WO are there. So if your favorite male athlete performed well at the Tommy Atkins Relays, maybe he will make it in next week. Hey Mav01, in the boys 1600, the two top times (Tijerina and Duncan) were run head-to-head at the Pine Tree meet. It was a great race. Did you see it?

Back in the Stone Ages when I was in college, we called tham Frat Rats. What we called the Sorority girls would show up on Smoaky as ######. SHSU in the late '70's, striving to consume more alcohol per capita than the student body at SFA. School rivalry at its best.

Took care of my civic duty on the way to work this morning.

That's less than five miles from my house and I had no idea it was there. I will definitely have to check it out.
