Weird Vehicle Traveling by the weather station and Chili’s

April 26th, 2011

Tornado Tracker Vehicle perhaps?
My brother was able to get a good picture of this weird looking vehicle driving through Tyler Texas. It isn’t a hummer but looking at the weird pipes sticking out of it I would say maybe it is a storm chaser vehicle that chases tornado’s?

There is also a 360 window view at the top of it but I can’t seem to find any holes for a military gun which makes me think it is a storm chaser?

I really have no clue what it is but does look like a mixture between a dually truck and a hummer of some kind but the answer still alludes me.

Later on during the day Tyler Texas and surrounding areas were deluged with quite a few tornados. Tyler Junior College (TJC) had several buildings destroyed by a tornado and UT Tyler was hit too.

Texas Roadhouse in Tyler TX

December 5th, 2010

Texas Roadhouse is a steak restaurant in Tyler Texas and is most closely compared to Outback Steakhouse.

At the same time they are very different places. For one you have buckets of peanuts still in the shell to chuck and pop in your mouth.

You can then throw the shells anywhere you like. Be careful not to throw too closely to someones foot as you never know when you may be next to a Texas redneck. The redneck has been known to stomp on yer face if a peanut shell lands on their boot or girlfriend.

The weekends are crazy busy and much busier than Outback Steakhouse. The atmosphere is brighter inside and gives off a Texas ranch style charm.

The waitresses and waiters are all pretty young but almost all seem like seasoned wait staff that have worked in restaurants for years.

When you meet your waitress or waiter they often get right down to business and may not have time for lots of friendly banter which is ok because this means they move quick.

You get loads of rolls with cinammon butter and they always seem quick to notice refills in need.

Most of what’s on the menu is really good. I usually get the Fort Worth T-bone and my wife gets a small filet.

Regarding their vegetables stay away from the green beans. They taste like you’re eating a salty slimy grasshopper but other then that Texas Roadhouse is great!

Dr. Charles Robinson, dentist being reported to be a peeping Tom

December 2nd, 2010

Dr. Charles Robinson has been reported on several news stations in Tyler as having installed cameras in a house he was renting to peep on a 14 year old girl and a 40 year old woman.

When asked about suspicious behavior in the attic he told the tenant he was changing a light bulb.

The tenant later discovered hidden cameras in the attic. The doctor admitted to some of the alleged complaints against him and is out of jail on bail tonight.

His neighbors describe him as a good Christian man. We will hold off on passing judgement until this goes through a fair court trial but it is a weird wild story involving a dentist and hidden cameras, the stuff nightmares are made of.
