The Observation Deck of the University of Texas Tower is going to reopen
after 24 years of being closed to the public. Although the
Observation. Deck had been closed temporarily in the 1950s because of
suicides and again in 1966 after Charles Whitman's tantrum, it was closed
indefinitely on January 31, 1975 because of suicides.

Jim, are you in New England again?? How many times have I told you to stay away from Vermont and New Hampshire? It's just too dangerous for our central PA blood.

There's a story today about a North Texas high school honor roll, athlete who was expelled and sent to reform school because he had a bread knife in the back of a pickup truck. It was left over from a trip to the Goodwill where he helped his grandmother donate some household goods.

Zero Tolerance is out of control.
