Friday Local Shorts

Just going to do an quick little shorts on a few topics going on around the Dallas, Fort Worth area.

Stars:
The Dallas Stars lost game 1 last night against the Detroit Red Wings (in Detroit) 1-4. Game 2 will take place Saturday night (again in Detroit). Hopefully the Stars will look like they are ready to play that game, cause honestly last night they didn’t look so good. And if they don’t start playing better, this will be a short series for the Red Wings and the Stars, well I guess there is next year, AGAIN!

Rangers:
The Rangers beat my old home town team (Seattle Mariners) last night 5-0 (At least one team from DFW Pro Sports won last night). But it looked more like a hockey match. The Rangers pitcher lofted a pitch that the batter thought was too high (It didn’t hit him) and he decided to clear the benches and go after the pitcher. Nice Sexson, really nice.

Robbery in Fort Worth:
Early this morning a woman was attacked by a 44 year old man at a doughnut shop and started to beat her in the head while she was trying to escape. A neighbor heard the attack in progress, and went and grabbed his shotgun and shot the guy in the chest.
:: Check Mark :: 1 more criminal off of the streets

She Cried Rape and He died (Follow UP):
A Woman who cried rape who was convicted on manslaughter charges was freed yesterday after 1 week in jail on an appeal bond. Yep $25K and she is free probably for at least 1 year. This story is crazy. Husband came home and his wife was taking care of business in her lovers car in the driveway and when the husband came home, she started yelling rape, so husband grabs gun and delivers a lethal blow killing this guy. Wife lied about it and they let him go with no charges and decided to charge her instead. Last week she was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

And Finally GAS Prices = Outrageous:
Yesterday one location in the South Arlington area posted up the following prices.
3.65 for Regular, 3.78 middle, 3.96 for premium. This is crazy for the DFW area. And I know people will say, “It’s way more expensive where I live” I’m sure it is, but for this area, it’s crazy.

Hope you enjoyed my shorts…

    Gas is at $3.59 in north Arlington. I still get around on $30 a week, but I have had to cut down my driving to do it. $4.00+ here we come.
