According to KBTX:
A Lubbock legislator has filed a bill that would end red-light cameras in Texas, and a local driver is offering help.
Lubbock did away with its red-light cameras last year when the citizen group that oversaw the cameras, determined the cameras hadn’t made Lubbock’s streets any safer.
At that time, the cameras also hadn’t made Lubbock any money. A College Station man is supporting that Lubbock legislator; he says money is what the cameras are all about.

I can see unique trailer hitches becoming a reoccurring theme here at DWT. I saw these in Austin awhile back (sorry for the grainy photos; iPhone + moving car). What you can’t tell from the photo is that whenever the brakes were pressed, the deer would start to move it’s legs up and down frantically. Tasteless? Maybe. Hilarious? Yes.

Baldy and I stumbled upon this in a parking garage outside of the loop. It is quite possibly the coolest motorcycle sidecar I have ever seen. I especially like the lone headlight (tinted the shade of the windshield!) and four turn signals.
Makes me wonder what Batman’s sidecar would be like…

I’ve only just recently seen these awesome beasts at Target (check out the disc brakes!). I assume they’re for chasing down fleety shoplifters, but they bring up so many questions.
Is this really necessary? (this particular Target was in one of the more upscale neighborhoods of Htown)
How fast do they go?
How many times did something occur that they decided a tricycle was necessary?
What do they do if they catch someone? Side ram him Ben-Hur style?
Is there a siren? (there just has to be)
I’m tempted to camp out in front of the store to see one in action.
