Lee Ann Dumbauld TERMINATED!!

  This editor called for Dumbauld's removal after I was "arrested illegally" last year. Dumbauld brought shame to City of Lubbock with her arrogance. It's unclear if the firing was for cause or not. Floyd Price,Glen Robertson and Karen Gibson voted against the termination. The vote should have been unanimous. WT Free Press has heard Tommy Gonzales could be top candidate for city manager position.

  Good Riddance Dumbauld!!

Today's RANT!!

  I will now rant about "litter" in this county. It's everywhere,litter that is. Businesses like Wal-Mart,Stripes,Lowe's Supermarket just ignore the litter in their own parking lots. Citizens now just toss litter out their vehicles like the litter is gonna walk over and jump into a litter bag. Government does little or nothing about the litter problem. A turnaround near Wal-Mart on 4th&Avenue Q is littered most of the time. Dumpster trucks leak litter all over the county. Haulers are littering streets with nails,screws,old wood,everything that will fall out. The bottomline,Lubbock is filthy. I even see litter like plastic bags blowing across streets as I drive to stores. Tobacco smokers are still littering with their "butts" before they enter stores. I pick up litter on CR 1520 daily because "Junkyard Row" has it's own litterbugs,they live on this street. It's time that "gangs of do-gooders" tour Lubbock once a week and do "litter patrol". I would gladly volunteer. I'm at 806-831-5283.

 Let's Eliminate Litter On Our Streets and In Our Alleys!!

Public Domain and Copyrighted TV Programs

  Public Domain is uncopyrighted radio and TV. Many TV programs from 1950-1960 were not copyrighted. Some were copyrighted but not renewed 28 years later. Such TV programs as Racket Squad,Medic,Public Defender,Suspense,Lights Out,Dangerous Assignment and Our Miss Brooks as well as The Life Of Riley are in the public domain. These can be distributed by anyone for any fee the market will bear. Almost all 40's and 50's radio programs are "public domain". This editor collects both public domain and copyrighted TV programming. For example Richard Boone had Medic for two seasons and it's public domain. Mr.Boone had Have Gun,Will Travel for 6 seasons and it's copyrighted. This editor has both Medic(44 episodes) and three of the six seasons of Have Gun,Will Travel. Currently I am watching the first season of Have Gun,Will Travel. The first episode had Jack Lord(Hawaii Five-O) and Janice Rule,both now deceased. The second episode had Charles Bronson,now deceased. Have Gun,Will Travel is on Encore Westerns almost daily and is available on DVD at Amazon.com. This editor missed the 50's and early 60's TV programming in B&W. I now collect both public domain and copyrighted TV programs. The biggest problem with public domain TV programs is it's not re-run in most markets.

I'm a "nostalgia guy"!!

LCAD Building Damaged!!

original story

  Every driver's nightmare is running into a government building. The worst nightmare of all is "running into the tax collector's office". Two cars had a wild collision late last night at 22nd&Avenue Q and one went flying into LCAD's building. It's unclear if the one pictured hit the building.

  Is "Assault Of LCAD Building" a serious crime??

Republicans Going "Bananas" Over Greg Abbott Visit

  "Clueless" Carl Tepper is blowing his horn over this week's Greg Abbott visit. Tepper is trying to explain why Abbott is in a wheelchair. Abbott is due to visit later this week. I will not attend this or any other republican function anytime soon. "Clueless" Tepper believes that an 18 million dollar campaign fund makes Abbott the favorite. "Clueless" Tepper is a typical "money luvin" republican.

Now "Clueless" Tepper To Worship at "Abbott's Wheelchair"!!

Death and Injuries In Lubbock

  This weekend or last week had several "nutty" incidents that got people killed or injured. A couple of people rear-ended a vehicle while riding an ATV on a roadway. Both were seriously injured. In another accident a motorcycle rider hit a truck and was injured. At a motel on east 34th St. a man attempted to murder a woman and then committed suicide. A woman rolled her car after hitting a curb and she was injured.

  That's the "Death&Injury" Report!!

Rain Barrel Report

  Today this editor harvested three full rain barrels from last night's and the early morning rain. It's been over two weeks since the last rainfall. My animal water jugs and trees will now get fresh rainwater for their use.
