I was wondering about gas prices. Why are gas prices so varied over the city, when the tankers delivering them all come from the same places?
Does anyone know we have a gas storage facility here in Dallas?
-------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
How much money do schools pay for gas, to take kids to places such as Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, Scarborough Fair, Celebration Station, bowling, skating, etc? Do the kids have to pay for these trips? Are they for learning ?

What is wrong with the name that is already in place?
Wasn't the Blvd. named Industrial, for a reason?
Is the name, to low class for the big guys around Dallas? To common?
As for naming it after a person,You can go all over Dallas, and find streets named after people.
I would also like to know what Ceasar Chavez has to do with Dallas? When I think of him, I think of California, not Tx,.or Dallas.
Stevie just doesn't seem to fit, everyone was not into his music.
Why can't they leave well enough alone?

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to
grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager
sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors:
green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager
would look and find him staring every time.
When the teenager had
enough, he sarcastically asked, "What 's the matter old man, never done anything
wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so
that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in
classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.
"I Got drunk once
and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

I do hope that they give the animal, that shot his wife and kids, the death penalty.
What scum.
All women ought to watch this video, and see what an abusive man can do.
He said it doesn't matter that their mother is gone, the kids have grandparents, and others to take care of them.
All He seemed to worried about, is what the reporter could do for him. Wanting a shower because he still had "girl blood" still on him.
Calling the woman, a girl, over and over. You could tell that he thought of her as not as a person, but an object.

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks
about
women over 40:
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few
reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask,
'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit
around whining about it.
She does something she wants to do, and it 's usually more interesting .
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you
at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you
deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get
away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They
know what it's like to be un appreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than
her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you
are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you
stand with her! ..
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal.
For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a
bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get
the milk for free, here's an update for you. Now adays 80% of women are
against marriage. Why? Because women realiz e it's not worth buying an
entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!'
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?'
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo while I asked, 'No, how are we alike?'
'You're both old,' he replied.
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.'
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.'
A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies?' 'It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.'
Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child.'
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.
'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child.
'No,' said another, 'he's just for good luck.'
A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants...

WAYCROSS, Ga.(AP) A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday.
The plot by as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.
I would love to know who the parents of these kids are. what are these kids learning at home? Are they being raised by video games or crazy parents?

There is a big hype about this so called man having a baby.
"Hello people", this so called man was once a woman,had a sex change, so to speak but, apparently kept the female parts. So technically the guy is still a girl with a ummmmmmm appendage.

After listening to the video, I have a feeling more was going on before this incident, for neighbors to tell this woman to call the police.
I myself would have spoken to the mother, about it, and depending on her attitude, there might have been reason to call the police.
What I found disturbing is the child riding out from behind parked cars! I say this because it is so easy to hit a small child on a small bike that can't be seen. I know from experience,when my son was backed over by a neighbor backing out her driveway, ands he was on the sidewalk !

I have had to visit Balch Springs the last few weeks.
Since I haven't been through there in a very long time, at least since the start of the new Beer sales ordinance was passed.
I noticed that every nook and cranny and corner, has become a Beer/wine store.
There are stores next to daycares and schools. Drive through(on the run) I presume it is buy and drive. (Drinking and driving, hummmmmm.
Anyway, I thought perhaps Balch Springs ought to change the name of their city.
Belch Springs came to mind first. Beer Springs, sounded good as well.
The stores next to the daycares seem great, drop your kid off, and drive through to get some encouragement for the day.
There are signs big enough to be seen from the highways 635 and I-20.
There must be some big tax money in beer and wine sales.
