The park was surprisingly quiet today. If park attendance is any indication, Cinco de Mayo has become a bigger holiday in Dallas than the Fo...

The guitars are gone. They will be joining some pretty amazing instruments in a little store I only discovered a few weeks ago. The owner ap...

I heard the neighbor calling his dog this morning. This was the dog that bit me. The voice wasn't coming from the neighbor's yard. I...
