On Sunday, November 16th, my shul is having a Mitzvah Day and yours truly is in charge of a project under the auspices of Keep Plano Beautiful. Our task is to clean-up sections of White Rock Creek which for the most part starts in Plano, runs past the shul and south through Dallas. My hope is that we don't have to clean up messes like this one, found in the same creek about 15 miles south.

"DALLAS- A stolen car in a creek bed has yielded the body of an unidentified man and another person, say police who are trying to determine how the two died.

One body found Tuesday inside the car lying in White Rock Creek off Interstate 30 was identified as that of a man. The gender of the other could not be determined because of decomposition. Autopsies were pending."

Yuck.
