No Squatting Dogs Here Please
Ladies are walking and reading at the same time. Be careful not to step in anything.
A power walking UP resident just spotted this kind reminder not leave dog ick hanging around. Cute, but I bet it really only attracts the poop leaver behinders. Parkies don’t like being told what to do.
By the way, do you think this means to clean it up or to not even let your dog get in the featured position near that particular house?

Tacos and Yogurt, Anyone?
The successor to the drive-in bank phenomenon is a combination of tacos and frozen yogurt places. Remember how, just recently, it seemed that all new construction in Dallas County was geared toward branch banks? Well, now, 395 of the 400 new businesses opened in and within a five-mile radius of the PC in the last six months are either a taco or frozen yogurt joint. (Actual numbers estimated based on recent drives through the area).
Surely someone has introduced a frozen yogurt taco by now, haven’t they?

Chief of Poop Police Has Had Enough
A University Park resident who has grown tired of lazy dog owners allowing their pets to make yard deposits went on poop patrol this week. She sent a series of photos showing a woman walking her dogs while talking on the phone. It must have been a good conversation because she paused long enough for her pooch to scope out a good spot in this lawn and then totally forgot to pick up the funk.
Word to the walkers, this poop policewoman is gettin’ serious about feces scattered around her community and she is armed with a camera phone.

PTA Grenade Chairman

The Situation is always looking to protect his boys from grenades. It hit me recently- this is EXACTLY what we need in the PTA, an actual Grenade Chairman, someone who will sacrifice herself for the other moms. Now, The Situation uses this term to describe the one ugly chick in each group of total babes who must be entertained or she’ll drag the whole gang home, ruining the fun for everyone.
But in the PTA, the grenade isn’t necessarily bad looking, she’s the dementor. And she needs to be distracted before all of the happy volunteers get the life sucked out of them.
It’s probably too late to add the position this year but word to the 2011-2012 PTA presidents, grab yourself a grenade chair. I’m just sayin’.

Scots Move Up To No. 6 After Win
Following Saturday’s 27-21 victory over Everman, the Highland Park Scots jumped up from No. 9 to No. 6 in the latest Associated Press Class 4A state poll.
The top three spots — Lake Travis, Aledo, and Brenham — remained the same. Denton Ryan moved up from No. 5 to No. 4 following its 28-14 win over Sulphur Springs.
Kerrville Tivy is No. 5, while Smithson Valley, Friendswood, Tyler John Tyler, and Stephenville round out the top 10.
The Scots take on Monterrey (Mexico) Tec in their home opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Highlander Stadium.

The Kissing Valet. Walk or Engage?
I received an e-mail from a reader who has had enough of the overly friendly valet who kisses every woman exiting her car at his hot-spot restaurant stand in Highland Park Village. We’re not in France, Buster. And we don’t like to walk in the heat from a far away locale sportin’ luncheon heels either.
Faced with this dilemna do you choose the kiss or the walk? Remember, the kiss is a double cheek with an extended linger and based on car door angle and the valet’s rapid approach, there’s rarely a duck and bolt opp. I’m goin’ with the walk.

Highland Park Middle School Parent Academic Night

Last night HPMS parents went through a mini version of their child’s schedule, spending 10 minutes in each class getting scoop for the year. It isn’t as easy as it sounds. One time I ended up in the wrong class and had to slip out and switch rooms. I hate it when that happens.
But I saw everthing from a cool, young teacher wingin’ it to a full slide show/power point presentation.
I learned that the cross country coach looks just like Tim Riggins and the history teacher was once in a tornado.
What did you learn last night?
