  1. Now imagine John Madden singled you out among that group for your effort. That was Larry Allen.
  2. Ex-sheriff gets lowered bond in death of toddler A former Knox County sheriff charged in connection with the death of a 1-year-old child in a wreck in Wichita County was granted lower bail. Michael Lloyd Carlson, 64, testified Friday in 78th District Court he could not come up with the $30,000 it would take to arrange his $300,000 bond. Carlson was jailed on a manslaughter charge on April 22, 2024, in connection with a wreck on May 17, 2023, on U.S. Highway 287 northwest of Electra. Carlson was still being held Friday evening in the Wichita County Jail, according to online jail records. According to allegations in affidavits, Carlson was driving at an unreasonable speed at the time of the collision and not looking out for traffic controls. The Texas Department of Public Safety said traffic was being diverted from the main highway to U.S. Business Highway 287 due to another wreck shutting down the northbound lanes. Carlson's pickup was traveling in the left northbound lane, and approaching the detour, the pickup had to move into the right-hand lane, according to allegations. The driver didn't see an SUV in the right-hand lane that was stopping because of slowed traffic. The pickup struck the SUV in the rear, causing it to slam into the utility box trailer of a truck ahead of it. Two women and two children in the SUV were injured. Aveline Hill, 1, was taken to a Fort Worth hospital where she died the following day. Carlson, of Truscott, formerly served as a deputy sheriff and sheriff in Knox County. He was on probation on a deadly conduct charge in Knox County when the wreck occurred. In that incident, Carlson is accused of firing several shots into a camper trailer, wounding one man. A pair of law enforcement officers testified on Carlson’s behalf as did his wife. Judge Meredith Kennedy agreed to lower Carlson’s bail to $150,000 on the condition he stay in Knox County and abide by other restrictions.

  4. Claudia Sheinbaum has made history as the first woman elected president of Mexico, according to projections from the nation's official quick count. Sheinbaum obtained between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, according to a statistical sample used to conduct the quick count. It was announced early Monday morning by Guadalupe Taddei Zavala of Mexico's National Electoral Institute. Taddei Zavala said the tally is 95% reliable. Sheinbaum addressed supporters, saying, "For the first time in 200 years of our republic, I will become the first woman president...but as I've said in other occasions, I don’t make it alone. We’ve all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters.” Sheinbaum said she would support the freedom of free expression and protest and build a “diverse and democratic” Mexico, and assured she would respect industries and the free market while respecting the environment and "nations' self-determination." Outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador hailed Sheinbaum's historic win in a video released early Monday. "I congratulate Claudia Sheinbaum, who came out as the victor, with a wide margin. It will be the first female president of Mexico in 200 years," he said. "The president [Sheinbaum] possibly got the most votes in our country's history," he added. The former mayor of Mexico City will serve one six-year term starting on Oct. 1.

    Malia would throw anyone under the keel to get ahead. I for one still won't watch Sandy micromanage and camera hog. It's good to take a break from BD.

    A YouTube channel I follow got to spend time behind the scenes with SailGP in New Zealand. The fucking sound they make at speed is insane.
  7. Targeted means nothing. I target OU everytime I take a piss. It doesn't always reach, but the thought is there.
  8. Dillon does have a decent beer festival this month.
  9. When Incels clean their junk closet.
  10. I prefer the Tribal People Try videos. It's unfortunate some of the food they subject them to like Coulter's BBQ.
  11. Definitely recorded that one. Great cast, fun story. Kick that mule!
