O/T: A Slow Day In The Newsroom

SoCal, the car chase capital of the world.

Almost every day, there is a car chase being televised in real time on
TV, someplace here in SoCal, but not today.

Today we get to see a white pick up truck being chased in Pasadena, TX
(Metro Houston), in real time.

Guess it is a slow say in the newsroom.

Must be the weather.

Tis a tad warm today. About 100F at 2:00PM local time.

Nothing on TV irritates me as much as turning on to CNN Headline News and
finding them spending 20 minutes on a $#%^& car chase. As far as I'm
concerned, that's LOCAL news, not national.

One L.A.W. rocket and car chases would not last twenty minutes.

I've often thought you get a military chopper, mount a 50 caliber in
it, then announce that in 90 days, vehicles trying to escape from
police will shot with the intent to kill.

Probably cost $100 million or so to settle the nuisance lawsuits till
things get under control.

Oh well, just a thought.

Please don't confuse any of the Houston area residents as being anything
like the "we can't shut up" news people that you have been watching.
