Ohio


Kent State, May 4, 1970

Ohio
Music and lyrics by Neil Young

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Sideshows To A Bond Election

In case you weren't aware, the City of Richardson is holding a bond election Saturday, May 8. On the ballot are four packages: $24.7 million for street improvements, $22.6 million for parks and recreational facilities, $10.4 million for municipal public buildings, and $8.1 million for neighborhood vitality projects, for a total of $66 million.

The Dallas Morning News has recently given some coverage to some sideshows to the bond election. After the jump, I follow the News down the rabbit hole.

Sun In The Sky, Art In The Park

From 2010 05 Cottonwood

Sunshine. Art. Music. Food. People. Richardson's Cottonwood Art Festival. It doesn't get any better than this in Richardson. Or in most cities on most days, for that matter. For more photos, click here.

Play In May!

From 2010 04 HS Baseball
Congratulations to the baseball teams from Richardson and Berkner High Schools. The two schools were co-champions of District 9-5A. In a one game playoff Saturday afternoon at Richardson High School to determine the top seed for the playoffs, the Richardson Eagles beat the Berkner Rams 6-4 on the strength of three one-run home runs.

Friday night, Lake Highlands clinched the fourth and final playoff spot for District 9-5A. Wish all the RISD schools, as well as DISD's W.T. White High School which finished third in District 9-5A, the best of luck going into the playoffs. They've all achieved their goal to "Play in May!"

Bedside Manners

Honesty is the best policy, right? Not necessarily. If you're a doctor with an atrocious bedside manner, some things are best kept to yourself. On the other hand, if a sensitive and gentle approach doesn't align with the politics of your state legislators, then it's best to lay it all out in the open. Unless *that* isn't politically correct. Clear as mud?

After the jump, the mixed and confusing cases in the news.
