- Jun 7 2015: Is there a way the NBA could redesign their product so that bad officiating isn't an inherent part of the game? Or do they just don't care?
- Jun 8 2015: "The most informed voters are often the most badly misled." Why "citizens' town hall" meetings" will lead you astray. vox.com

City Council's Take on Charter Amendments
The commission appointed by the Richardson City Council to review the city charter made numerous recommendations for charter amendments. By their own estimation, it may take fifty ballot propositions to address them all.
On June 22, the council deliberated what to do with those recommendations. Twice, I discussed those deliberations regarding one particular recommendation (filling a single vacancy on the council by appointment instead of a special election). Today, I want to talk about the council's take on all the other recommendations made by the commission.

POTD: On the Town
From 2015 03 16 Bangkok |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Bangkok, Thailand. It's a photo of five unknown women colorfully dressed up for a night on the town. I don't know about them, but we were headed for a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River (I recommend it). I like to think they had an equally pleasant evening.

Filling City Council Vacancies - ctd
The commission appointed by the Richardson City Council to review the city charter made numerous recommendations for charter amendments. On June 22, the council deliberated what to do with those recommendations. I previously discussed those deliberations regarding one particular recommendation (filling a single vacancy on the council by appointment instead of a special election). Today, I want to add a postscript to that.

POTD: Grand Palace
From 2015 03 16 Bangkok |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Bangkok, Thailand. Specifically, the Grand Palace. This has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam/Thailand since 1782.
If you're of a certain age, think Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr and the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I." If you're not of a certain age, try Amazon. You can thank me later.

Drove My Chevy to the Levee
From 2015 06 21 Trinity River |
That's a stop sign in the river. Ironic, as the biggest controversy in Dallas politics is whether to put a high-speed, massive tollroad down in that floodplain, between the levees that, so far, are keeping downtown Dallas dry.
Oh yeah, there was a classic car show down by the levee Sunday, too. "And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye."
