February 04, 2002-8:25 p.m. Would it be too much to ask to start a new year in Texas without having the headlines devoted to the search for escaped convicts? Last year, it was the Texas Seven. This year, it�s four murders, including one woman, who are the center of a nationwide manhunt. People in the other 49 states already think we�re a bunch of yayhoos without this kind of compelling evidence to support them. At the rate we�re going, predicting the Texas jailbreak will become a New Year�s tradition akin to watching the Rose Bowl Parade. **Disclaimer: All characters in this diary are fictional.
