MAKES YOU WANT TO GO FILL UP FOR THE FUN OF IT !

First of all it's a real pleasure to be involved with BOB (on a professional basis of course). BOB, I listen to you faithfully and let me also offer my condolences on your failed run for president.

As for my new role with you and your incredibly intelligent, witty, creative, and tasteful listeners, I'm here to pass along  what we do in our "On the Move" segments on Fox 7 during our 5pm newscast which we call The Fox7 News Edge at 5.

On the Move is kind of a clearinghouse for news stories related to transportation issues in Central Texas. We'll track gas prices in Austin, report on road construction, alternative fuels, etc.

BOB if any of your listeners have ideas on issues we might cover please them along on this blog.

Anyway looking forward to a wonderful relationship with you BOB.

And by the way the cheapest gas we found today was 1.94 a gallon at the Major Brand at East Cesar Chavez & Chalmers.

So I guess we can all sleep soundly now that the future of Bret Farve has been worked out.

Yes I think Farve is an excellent QB, but please all the hoopla and fawning over him like he's one of the greats? How many superbowls has he won?  How many has he lost. He's over rated, had a great year last season but what about the season before that. He should not be mentioned in the same breath as a Bradshaw, Montana, even Aikman, these guys won multiple Super Bowls.

Anybody out there have any ideas on how to stop a dog from digging underneath a backyard to escape?

My pooch has discovered the tactic and I'm doing my best to avoid putting down concrete along my fence.

That's the result of a Swedish study. Just one more piece of ammunition when you break the news to your significant other that you're hitting the links on a Saturday morning.

Thank God for medical studies.

Attention all action junkies, thrill-seekers, BASE jumpers and anyone else who feeds off the thrill of putting your life in danger.

Go the Pamplona,Spain during the festival of San Fermin and run with the bulls. It's a long trip but I highly recommend it. The paramedics and medical services are the best in the world when it comes to goring injuries (they have lots of experience).
