Are you supposed to call the cops for non-injury incident on a private property parking lot?
I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of character. I'm pretty sure this guy is going to pay.

Yes, a police report goes a long way should the guy decide to bail. You can still be cool about it and not turn it in to insurance though.
ETA
Of course you are screwed either way. You can get a judgement filed but that rarely works out.

So tonight towards the end of my almost nightly 4 mile walk (aka The SLB Mini-Marathon to Find the Cure for Headvaginitus) I have to cross one of the busiest intersections in town.
The northwest corner of this intersection is a clearinghouse for protesters and sign wavers. This is the it. Home to Priest: The dancing cowboy/Little Cesar's Shiller. (personally I would rather see Cowboy: The Dancing Priest). Usually there are a couple of other sign-wavers pimping pay-day loans, tax services etc. There's even a guy that holds a sign for a locally owned pizza place too. It's cool though. He and Priest seem to have become friends. That makes me happy.
Anyway...tonight is Hippy Night on the corner. About once every 2 weeks a flock of about 10-20 hippies stand on the corner with crappy, handmade signs calling for peace and/or extolling the virtues of marijuana. By the time I hit the intersection there's only about 4 or 5 die-hards left.
Now don't get me wrong. I actually love seeing people on that corner protesting or promoting or whatever. I don't care if I agree with what you're saying. I'll honk dammit. Keep that First Amendment alive and well, my friends. Although on the opposite corner there's this really scary looking anti-abortion lady that shows up about once a month. She likes to set up posters of dead babies and such. F her.
But I digress...
There were two youngish dudes that look like they're about to audition for the one man show featuring the wit and wisdom of Shannon Hoon. Then there's a zaftig girl sitting on the grass lettering out a sign that says "Don't Burn a Flag...Burn a Fatty". Which is both ironic and totally confusing. And then there's a guy in his 50s with a nicely braided, grey ponytail.
As I walk by Ponytail says, with a slight drawl, "how y'all doin'?" I almost answered "Damon?" (to be fair I'm pretty the drawl was much more Okie than Texan but whatever).
Ponytail is holding a sign that says 'YES WE CAN-I-BUS' (I wish I was making this up), and yelling out to the passing cars, "IT'S JUST A PLANT, HELLO?!?". And somehow his drawl is gone and now sounds like a Jewish comedian at Caroline's circa 1998.
So I'm waiting for the light to change while all this is happening. The little green walking guy shows up on the lighty thing and I step into the crosswalk. Before I can even take a step this guy in a very nice Mercedes almost runs into me on his way to a making a right hand turn.
He stops. I stop. I give him the international sign for "oh, go ahead. By all means." I actually did want him to go since it is obvious that I cannot trust his judgement and now fear walking in front of his car. He starts to go but then slams on the brakes.
Now he's suddenly got a case of the good citizenships and is waiting for me. Again I motion for him to "just F-ing go since you've already raped my crosswalk".
It's somewhere about the time he slams on the brakes when my new friends, the hippies, decide to join in.
One of the guys from Blind Melon/Kyuss tribute band yells out "SLOW DOWN, YOU FASCIST!"
Ponytail joins in with "NICE NAZI CAR, YOU JERK!"
Mr. Benz looks at me like I'm the one yelling at him and floors it down Stockdale Highway pretty much running the redlight at the intersection of Carl's Jr and Post Office.

Opening night of HS football season tonight. As you may remember, for the past 3 years I called games for a team that won a grand total of 1 game during that span. This season, we switched over to a team that is a perennial playoff team, and ranked in the top 10 in the state. You know how this ends... we had to drive 2.5 hours to the game, against the number 2 ranked team in the state, and walked out with the loss. My old team, the 1-29 team, who I no longer cover, won. Of course they did.
On the plus side, we had 565 listeners tonight, which is an absolutely huge number for our type of broadcast. Going into the game, I was hoping for rainbows, lollipops, and 200 listeners. 565 is phenomenal.

The 22nd is Turkey Day but the other days would be great.
Cos - Tailgate kicks off at 4. I'm in HEB getting fully cooked fajitas to warm up on the grill because I'm lazy like that. I will have all the food/booze. Just bring a few bucks. Anything I raise above my cost is going to the United Way of Austin.

That's the start of the official event. We've been back and forth between the bus and the house all day. I cracked my first 24 oz PBR (in my new 24 oz can koozie) around 9 a.m.

I wasn't the tipping point, but I may have used it for educational purposes, oh, the last 8 years or so.Aaron Rudnicki said:Um... apparently multiple users were using my FBG's account. I got an email over the weekend. Just letting any of you people who may have hacked my password know.
Not sure about this "hacking" bit.

My daughter has just started playing youth football. 21 boys and her. Normally, she holds her own fairly well. Today they were doing kickoff coverage and she got de- cleated on a blind side block. Tough to watch as a. Dad. However, she bounced right back up, as she is tough as nails.
I have a bunch of mixed feelings. I don't like the whole concussion side, nor do I like that despite it only being 3rd and 4th graders, many boys are bigger and faster. However, I don't like telling her she can't do things because she is a girl. They world will tell her " no" about a whole bunch of things soon enough. So, she is playing for now. On the plus side, the coaches and boys have been awesome. About half df them started chanting her name where she crushed a kid in the meatgrinder drills.
