Wow, from a multi $million salary at a large NCAA program to a very rural small town 3A High School in the Piney Woods of East Texas.  Wonder if the players will have rape privileges at the high school.

Former Baylor coach Art Briles hired at Mount Vernon High School

Three years after being fired at Baylor in the wake of  the football program's sexual assault scandal, former Bears coach Art Briles has resurfaced in the Texas high school ranks.

Mount Vernon is a Class 3A school in Franklin County in northeast Texas, 66 miles north of Tyler.

LSU whomped higher ranked Mississippi State last night 12-2 with the 10 run rule ending the game after 7 innings. 

Tigers play #1 Seed Vanderbilt today, tough semi-final game as Vanderbilt is the real deal this year.  Vanderbilt was ranked 2nd nationally at the end of regular season play.

La Flor Dominicana will be increasing prices 5 percent effective June 25, 2019.

No reason was given for the increase in prices in a letter sent to retailers. The June 25 date means that the prices will go into effect the week of the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which begins June 29 in Las Vegas.

From the Key West News

She was so high she thought her hand was a phone. Her pal’s reaction landed him in jail, cops say

A woman was so intoxicated on drugs and/or alcohol in Key Largo Thursday night that when Florida Keys police asked her to call a friend or relative to pick her up, she held her hand up to her ear and had an extended conversation, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

The Monroe County deputy, Joel Torres, stated both Sanchez and Ramos-Lopez were visibly drunk or high.

Her male companion’s reaction to deputies asking her who she was talking to landed him in jail, where he remained Friday afternoon.

Torres saw neither of them was in any condition to drive and asked them to call someone who lived within 20 miles of where they were parked who could pick them and the truck up. That’s when Ramos Lopez made her right hand into the shape of the phone, held it up to her ear and began having a conversation. Torres stated in his report that he believes she was hallucinating.

When he asked her who was on the phone, Sanchez became aggressive, balled up his fists and charged Torres. Torres, according to his report, grabbed Sanchez by the right hand and took him to the ground. The off-duty cops helped Torres hold Sanchez to the ground while he cuffed him.

Torres put Sanchez into the back of his car and took him to Plantation Key jail. On the way, Sanchez repeatedly banged his head on the partition that separates the back and front seats of the patrol car. He also threatened to stab Torres, according to the report.

Ramos Lopez was taken into protective custody “due to her inability to care for herself and the high likelihood she would be a danger to herself if left unattended,” Torres wrote in his report.

Mr Mayor- why do I keep getting a “Not Secure” message for the banter?
New phone or browser?. The banter has never been secure. I do plan to encrypt the whole thing soon and then you won't get the message. Maybe for the 5th anniversary which is coming up soon. I'm just afraid that it's going to really screw up everyone's login.

Safari browser may have been upgraded at some point and now gives that warning. It's something I should have done from the beginning but didn't because of the costs.

I'd rather wait for delivery vs going to the post office, standing in line, and trying to explain to the indifferent civil servant I'd like his help in circumventing their byzantine process.  Chance of success....slim to none.

Only 84 here now, BUT:

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - After record-breaking heat on Friday, more chances to shatter records come this weekend.

Today will be the coolest day this holiday weekend as we take a break from the 90s along the coast. We’ll top out around 85° along the Grand Strand, closer to 95° in Florence. Rain chances remain slim with very little rain expected through Memorial Day.

The core of the heat arrives Sunday and Memorial Day. Temperatures climb to 94° near Myrtle Beach, approaching 100° around Florence! Plenty of humidity around means the heat index will be a factor, pushing 100° area-wide both Sunday and Monday afternoon.

This hot and dry pattern doesn’t show any signs of ending next week. We’re looking at 90s each afternoon with a heat index around 100°. Rain chances remain very low through next Friday.
