Did you know that last year the Texas State Legislature passed a bill allowing the blind to hunt? Of course they must bring a sighted companion along and also use a laser guide to aide their shot.

Apparently when using the laser guide all one has to do is point the laser where they think the animal is and there sighted companion can tell them if their shot is lined up. I’m not sure how that’s all that different than just trusting the sighted companions eyes …

I guess as long as it’s not the blind leading the blind …

This past October National Public Radio reported that there might be thousands of prison inmates using cell phones while in jail.

The problem with this of course is that cell phones are contraband in all correctional facilities.

The problem has gotten so bad that Maryland State Senator Ed DeGrange said he was sitting at his desk when an inmate called him on his cell phone with a list of general complaints!

A warden in Texas also reported that he had received a call from the mother of an inmate demanding that the warden do something to improve cell phone reception in the prison so that she could talk to her son easily.

I guess we might as well oblige the inmates and set up their cells like the photo above?

It sounds like Dallas is moving up in the world just like our great city of Toronto. By moving up I mean instead of spreading out they are building up as there has been a huge boom in the Dallas Condos marketplace.

I don’t know the city of Dallas well. I only know what I’ve learned about it through books, television programs and the internet but it sounds like a great place to live. There’s a lot to do there and since I love the big city I’m sure I’d be happy if I lived there. I’d probably purchase one of the Downtown Dallas Condos if I was thinking of moving to the city, or if I ever had enough money to have a second home or out of Country vacation home. Actually that’s what I like about Condos. Since they are maintained by the buildings property managers you don’t have to be there day in and day out to maintain them. You could easily purchase a condo in a good area and rent it out to business people or vacationers most of the year and use it yourself when you go on vacations. That’s one thing that I’d like to do if I ever got a condo.

Have you ever thought of the potential and versatility of owning a Condo?

This is one of those stories that just makes you shake your head in wonder.

Former Police officer, Barry Cooper of Tyler Texas has created a video that he’s called “Never Get Busted Again”. Cooper, a former Narcotics officer, hailed as one of the best, says that the video shows how to hid the stash, fool dope sniffing dogs and avoid narcotics profiling. He thinks that the war on drugs is a waste of money and favors the legalization of marijuana.

The cops Cooper worked with in the past are upset over the video and one says that he’s going to investigate whether the drug tip video violates the law.

I can see criminals teaching each other the tricks of the trade, but a cop teaching them how to avoid getting caught? That just doesn’t seem right.
