The radar shows a thunderstorm passing through Dayton.

Absolutely. That’s why I never predict games and one of the biggest follies is trying to compare teams by what they did against a common or upcoming opponent. Many times it is meaningless.

Does Nederland have as many weapons as I have had in the past? No. I think going into the Texas City game, Nederland had the third ranked offense in the district and was averaging over 300 yards a game. Is that comparable to past teams? No but it’s not exactly terrible either. No matter what, a team is limited by personnel. In a PNG game, the defense was the hero. But people forget however that the offense put up 360 yards including almost 200 yards rushing. Who knows, maybe this will be Dayton‘s big breakout game on defense after watching the TC video. Except against Santa Fe who is averaging 3 points a game and GCM who is averaging just over 7 points game, Dayton has held no other team under 40 points and two of those teams have scored over 50.

I keep wondering about this missing offense of Nederland. TC has a strong defense and has only given up 10 points in the last 5 games. In the 4 games prior to TC, Nederland has averaged 38 points per game. Maybe the last game was simply because TC has a pretty good defense and they came out with a good game plan.

According to the article it’s not really a law. The only law requires a policy from the district and requires no punishment. The way the law is written it sounds more like an encouragement but not a requirement. Maybe there are more laws that apply but they certainly were not in that article.

Besides those poorly delivered remarks, I thought it was funny that she was near no one but was wearing a mask, apparently to support the administration‘s policies or wishes on masking. The she removes it to make her remarks and then walks away without it. Look, I’m wearing a mask even though not within 20 feet of anyone but will take it off so you can see me. Then she walk away without it, going through the same space that she walked in a few moments ago. Talk about all for show….

The article tries to imply (I think) that the law requires students to wear a seatbelt in a bus. It does not. What it requires is the school board to institute a policy telling students to be a seatbelt go. It has no penalty listed. According to the law posted in the article, the school board is supposed to institute a policy that says students are supposed to wear seatbelts but it requires no punishment. The law says they “may” Implement a disciplinary policy to enforce that. In legal terms, “may” means optional, “shall” means mandatory. What that means to me is that this law requires the district to have a policy to tell the kids to wear a seatbelt but they did not have to be any punishment against a student or driver unless the district decides to put that in the policy. Then you have a legislator, the Texas Speaker and the man who tragically lost his daughter and helped push for the law, are both angered because the law is not being followed. Unless they can find some different wording in the law, the part in the article only requires some words on a piece of paper (policy). It does not mention law enforcement action and it does not mention any mandatory punishment from the school. If I’m reading it right, it also makes it appear is that with the DPS trooper that they spoke with made a mistake. According to the article the trooper said that law enforcement can’t enforce the seatbelt requirement.’ The article then says, “But after further review we learned……”.. That sounds to me like they’re implying that’s a trooper is wrong. It says a trooper stated that law-enforcement cannot enforce it and in the next sentence says “but after further review”. The article then posts the law that puts all enforcement action squarely on the school board and it says they “may” create disciplinary policy. It is an interesting topic and it should be reported on. It looks like several people in the article really don’t know what the law is or what their policy is on both sides of the issue. It again makes me question reporting when it seems to try to make an issue where there is none. I don’t know if PAISD has a written policy. Maybe they do and the Director of transportation was just not familiar with that part. If it requires no disciplinary action, they have nothing to understand anyway except that they should inform the students to be in seatbelts. Sometimes I think reporters go into a story with the intent to try to make someone look bad for sensational news instead of keeping an open mind. Maybe a reporter is not going to it like that but aren’t really looking into what they wrote or what they are told. The important parts that I gathered from this article are, at least one person in PAISD is not familiar as to whether the district has a policy on seatbelts and the law requires a policy but requires nothing else including any discipline. Does anyone see anything differently?

She is not with Houston.

If anyone wants to watch the story about Allison Clark’s murder, I believe the entire thing is on YouTube. Paula Zahn did a story on it which was on TV about a year or so ago. I believe it has three or four Port Arthur PD detectives that worked on the case. I was with them in their office when they did a lot of it and they went as far as driving to Texarkana to follow up on leads.

That wasn’t a random bullet though. That was an armed robbery.
