As some of you know, my office is on the fifth floor of the Dallas County Administration Building, which used to be called the Texas School Book Depository. That's the famous building from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK. My office window actually overlooks Dealey Plaza.
The sixth floor is now a museum which, if you're in Dallas is well worth the visit. Last night somebody decided to steal the museum's safe. They hooked the safe up to a winch on the back of a pickup truck, but a security officer saw them, fired shots, and they wrecked their car. They ran off and as of now haven't been caught. One officer told me he thinks they ran to a nearby DART station and hopped a train.
To make it motorcycle relevant, when I got here at around 7:00, both entrances to the parking lot had cones blocking them. That may stop cars, but my 12GS can go between them! I had my ID on a lanyard around my neck, pulled it out of my coat so the sheriff's deputy could see it, and zipped on through! The woman behind me, in her car, wasn't allowed through! She offices next to me and when she got in she came to my office and said "You suck! I can't believe you got in!"
Anyway, here's an article from the Dallas Morning News. The wall you see is directly below my window. Strange way to start the day.
