• 2010 06 02 - Travel old Route 66 today and see all the towns that died when the Interstate bypassed them. Then you'll know why cities don't cut the cord.
• 2010 06 02 - Remember Breckenridge? When the railroad (the freeway of its day) bypassed the town, it died. Richardson replaced it. http://goo.gl/dFuf
• 2010 06 02 - Headline: "THEFT At The 'Tonight Show.'" Surprised? Don't be, the stolen items were from wardrobe, not Jay's jokes. No one wanted those.
• 2010 06 03 - Baseball doesn't need another asterisk. The call was the call. Sure, it sucked. Deal with it. Move on.
• 2010 06 03 - Pitcher Armando Galarraga to umpire Jim Joyce after the ump's bad call at first base: "Nobody's perfect."
• 2010 06 03 - Headline: "Kagan pays 'courtesy call' on Cornyn." Yep, that's all it was 'cause she knows she can't expect any courtesy in reciprocation.
• 2010 06 04 - Headline: "New Study Shows Arctic Ice at Lowest Point in Thousands of Years." Don't worry, don't listen, they're scientists.
• 2010 06 04 - The Big Short: Story of investors who foresaw the housing collapse and knew how to profit. Great explanation for economic meltdown. Read it.
• 2010 06 05 - Excellent case for organ donation by someone whose family faced the agonizing situation. A must read from Richardson. http://goo.gl/bGcr
• 2010 06 05 - An Education: a girl, smart and clever beyond her years, in a hurry to grow up, gains wisdom as she gets ... an education. See it.
• 2010 06 05 - Women's lacrosse Final Four ref's conflict of interest taints Maryland's championship. NCAA screwed up... again. http://goo.gl/SdtQ

After the jump, more Twitter tracks.

• 2010 06 06 - The September Issue: documentary of Anna Wintour and Vogue. Sucks life out of fashion industry. Watch any season of Project Runway instead.
• 2010 06 06 - Headline: "T.O.: Bad Rep Is Reason I Don’t Have A Team." Yeah, well that, too.
• 2010 06 07 - Bush Turnpike TOD looks promising. Preserves creeks. Connects to trails and DART rail. Strives for mixed-use walkability. http://goo.gl/bALP
• 2010 06 07 - What I like about proposed Bush Turnpike TOD is how it uses Spring Creek trail to punch a hole in Central Expwy to tie east/west together.
• 2010 06 07 - Bush Turnpike TOD gets Cottonwood rail line across Central Expwy without blocking traffic at Plano Pkwy. Advantage Richardson over Plano.
• 2010 06 08 - @mondo_tiki_man, try again. It's all there now. There's a delay between real time and when each segment is up on the web site.
• 2010 06 08 - In Big Ten news, Nebraska will play the PAC 16's Colorado on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2010. What?!? Too soon?

• 2010 06 15 - Mark's Stylebook: Ditto for stories such as this: "Miley Cyrus: I'm not trying to be slutty."
• 2010 06 15 - Site selection for Richardson's new gymnastics center is potentially explosive. NIMBY attitude killed first trial balloon at MST Magnet.
• 2010 06 17 - How to divide Big Ten into two divisions? Why not re-seed the schools each year based on their order of finish the previous year?
• 2010 06 18 - NBA basketball used to be beautiful. Now it's mostly just brutal.
• 2010 06 21 - Was in downtown Chicago Sat. after midnight. Traffic humming, even gridlock on one street. People out strolling, congregating, socializing.
• 2010 06 21 - Headline: "FIFA satisfied with World Cup officiating." How predictable was that?

• 2010 06 25 - "The Wheel's Still In Spin": Vuvuzela free from its beginning. Never had it. Never will. ... Not that there's anything wrong with vuvuzelas.
• 2010 06 25 - Headline: "Judge who struck down drilling ban sells energy stocks." Smart investor - sell on the news. Especially when you make the news.
• 2010 06 25 - Mark's Stylebook: When reporting that Venus was hospitable to life when young, resist urge to draw parallels with beautiful women you know.
• 2010 06 25 - 13 Bankers: study of growth of the financial industry. It's stronger than ever after the crisis. Dry reading, but important. TBTF means TB.
• 2010 06 25 - TCU remains alive in College World Series, beating UCLA 6-2. Deciding game of Bracket 1 is Saturday. Does anyone have a purple vuvuzela?
• 2010 06 25 - Why the demise of newspapers isn't all bad. Headline: "Newspapers Retract 'Climategate' Claims, but Damage Still Done." http://goo.gl/HVHi
