Tonight I watched the NBC TV station, Channel 2 in Houston. There was a girl on there with a long, foreign name, like Russian or something. I had never seen her on there before.
She is reporting on some police action on Fugua Street in Houston. Everyone is Houston, from Houston, and around Houston know how Fugua is pronounced, 'Fuke-way'. She pronounces it
Fuk-e-waugh.
Then on to another story from another so called news reporter. He turns Clinton Drive into Clinton Road. Clinton Drive is one of the oldest streets in Houston. It's always been Clinton Drive.
And to top it off there is a weekend news anchor, unshaven, looking like a homeless wino from under a bridge somewhere.
It's no wonder that station is at the tail end of the pack in Houston TV news ratings.
These things makes me wonder how dependable their news reports area if they don't even take the time to learn the correct pronunciation of the streets they are on, or to shave.
That's The Way I See It.
You?

The Way I See It
I have created this blog because there are often times when I feel the urge to express my personal opinion about something and in my minds thinking a news media such as The Police News, or any other media, is not the place to opine. It's suppose to be factual news reporting or as close to factual as possible with the available information.
I will however, link this blog to www.TexasPoliceNews.com so our readers may read my posts if they wish.
Soft Scrambled Eggs is just a moniker for this blog that hopefully will be catchy enough to make it east for those who wish to partake to remember me by.
Welcome,

About The Lone Star Rally
The roar of motorcycle engines will keep Galvestonians awake until at least Monday night. The tourist bureau says there are a quarter million motorcycles on the island this weekend and 400,000 people came with them.
All in all, except for the noise, the bikers and biker-babes are a pretty good bunch of folks.
I hope they all get home alive this time. Last year during the Lone Star Rally four of them died in crashes. There are still markers at the spots where they died.
The Police News has invited them to submit photos/videos for an album it will publish online. If you are part of the rally send yours to editor@texaspolicenews.com or text them to 409-457-4969
