West Fest

West Fest is going on in Waco today/tonight and maybe tomorrow.
I have a number of friends from Dallas that will perform tonight at 7 I think. And they’ve asked me to come, but I don’t know that I really want to. Is that wrong?
Sure I’d love to see my friends, but it’ll probably cost me $15-$20 in gas to go drive to West (north of Waco) and back, for an hour show.
I don’t have any other plans that are set in stone yet – but my neighbors were talking about a BBQ tonight with their parents, and spending $5 or so on meat sounds more tempting that spending $20 on gas (and still needing to eat).
So for Aaron and anyone who reads my blog and is gonna be in West tonight, hope you understand. You’re all more than welcome to drive down south a little ways and hang here tonight if you’d like.
Oh – and I really need to call my mom. I’ve been meaning to since Thursday but haven’t had more than five minutes to talk. So hopefully I’ll get that taken care of tonight as well.
Well that’s about it from Casa de Blundell Museum. We will have extended hours tomorrow since The Evening Star will be closed down. I hope to enjoy my first holiday off (other than 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas) since I started working for the company.

Reinquist dies

Chief Justice Rehnquist died last night.

The 80 year old Supreme Court judged lost his battle with cancer.

This is really big news for the Bush administration.

It gives them the opportunity to appoint two Supreme Court judges. While most presidents don’t even get to appoint one.

It will be interesting to see who’s nominated after Judge Roberts goes through the nomination process.

Blame the looters… not the race.

Steve Blow hits the nail on the head again…

Those looters are really disgusting, aren’t they? And I don’t know about you, but they are stirring some ugly racial attitudes in me.
Yeah, right or wrong, I can’t help thinking that white oil executives are a pretty savage bunch.
