The highway troubles continue beyond this morning's tragedy, as another driver experienced a terrifying incident Wednesday night when his vehicle was riddled with bullets on I-45 near downtown. Though the victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his leg, the shooting remains under investigation. Meanwhile, Sedaris fans can look forward to his unique perspective on Dallas, where he particularly enjoys Howdy's restaurant and what he calls the city's remarkably efficient dry cleaning services.
