While he was signing his apartment lease agreement, reader Abel Tomatis noticed an interesting clause.
Under the parking section, the agreement required all residents to park head-in into marked spaces. If they back into a parking space, residents may be towed at their own expense. The lease indicated that back-in parking violates a Dallas City ordinance.

ERCOT To End Emergency Conditions, Oncor Works To Restore Power
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said it expects to come out of emergency conditions later this morning.
“There is enough generation on the electric system to allow us to begin to return to more normal operating conditions,” said Senior Director of System Operations Dan Woodfin in a statement.
No additional outages were needed overnight to keep power supply and electric demand in balance.
Oncor expects to have power restored to a substantial number of customers by this evening. About 27,000 outages remain.
As of 7 a.m., Oncor is reporting 11,594 Dallas County residents are without power, while Tarrant County has 9,320. In Collin County, 1,309 remain affected.

Hugs & Shrugs


HUGS go to … the city of Denton Parks and Recreation Department, for its new wildflower planting program, which will set the stage for a burst of spring color from at least 240 acres throughout the city. The best part, though, is that not only will the beautification program not cost city taxpayers, it actually has the potential to save the city about $150,000 over 3-4 years by eliminating mowing expenses. Throw in the additional benefits of helping butterflies and bees, while also providing needed firebreaks, and you have a city program everyone can get behind.
SHRUGS go to … the breakdown of decorum and camaraderie that led to Thursday night’s Denton City Council meeting in which Mayor Gerard Hudspeth had council member Deb Armintor’s microphone muted. We understand every council member has issues they are passionate about — because those are the issues their constituents are passionate about — and that meetings must be conducted in an orderly and consistent manner. But we can’t help but lament the missed opportunity presented by the most recent elections to reset the volume and stress level in the room. Both Hudspeth and Armintor won election through the support of thousands of Denton residents — and both have expectations they must fulfill as a result. We only suggest that the expectation that Denton’s elected officials work together to achieve the best results be near the top.
