5 Things We Know On A Sunday

1. It’s so cold in West Texas this morning that the coyotes are carrying jumper cables to start the jackrabbits. – Baxter Black.
2. I take an insidious and peculiar delight in watching sporting events played in bitter weather conditions form the comfort of my couch on TV. I hope this doesn’t make me a bad person. I apologize to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid if it does. I don’t get the same enjoyment watching golfers in Hawaii on a January day…
3. Top 3 Hot Sandwiches: No. 3. Basic Ham and Cheese. Toasted bread. Mustard. No. 2. Philly Cheesesteak with jalapeños. No. 1. Rueben. Russian dressing. Extra sauerkraut. All of these with really good, crispy fries, tots or onion rings as a side.
4. If it wasn’t for Iowa, the word caucus would have disappeared from our vocabulary generations ago. I still think it’s cute that we allow a state like Iowa to have so much import on our Presidential elections. And they say America isn’t a great Republic!
5. The next mayor of Lubbock should simply campaign on one issue: Crime. That’s it. That’s all. Beef up the police force and get aggressive in getting criminals off the streets. We don’t need speed traps, we need criminal traps. Want people to return to living inside the actual city limits of Lubbock? Make it safe. It’s really that simple. Of course we’ll probably hear about dog parks, downtown bum hotels and splash pads instead….
