"It comes to you, this stuff just flies through the air, they send this information "beamed" out over the ******* place, you just got to know how to grab it, see, I know how to grab it." Kelso in the movie Heat.

06-25-2026 - 6:00 AM - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, and the forecast high is a cool 95 degrees. Enjoy, because several 100-degree days are coming up. I mowed the back yard yesterday evening. I might get the front and side yards today. There’s nothing radio-related on the schedule today - no nets, meetings, or other local happenings. Yesterday, in Childress, the Texas Department of Public Safety held a service at Childress High School to honor Highway Patrol Trooper Sergio Romero, who was tragically killed in the line of duty last week. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready.

--- 8:40 AM - Foster Crawford and Elmer Lewis, the two guys who, in 1896, robbed the bank downtown, killed clerk Frank Dorsey and wounded teller P.P. Langford, are buried in a single grave in Riverside Cemetery. Frank Dorsey is also buried in Riverside Cemetery. The robbers/murderers have a better headstone than most other Riverside residents. In case you didn’t know, Texas does not recognize accomplices. Whether you’re inside the bank robbing and killing, or outside tending to the getaway horses, all participants are charged with the same crime. I think they were both inside, but you get my point.
