Today she had a chance for a late start to shake off the jet lag, then she jumped into her role as tour guide. We went to AT&T Stadium, a.k.a. Cowboys Stadium. This ultra slick arena is state of the art in every way. Big, bright, glitzy, everything is first class, from the retractable dome
To the strange color of their playing surface
It even has four names with which BSU football fans are familiar
Our self guided tour included the playing field (look Tom, it's green!), the Dallas Cowgirls dressing room, the players dressing room and the press meeting room. Of course, being an old timer, I was drawn to the familiar figure of Tom Landry
Whereas most people are drawn to the worlds largest TV
After that we went only slightly further west to Historic Fort Worth, where we checked out several local attractions,
They ARE real!
Yes, that is a mode of transportation; heck, I used to race a Bul!
had a real good meal at a restaurant dripping with ambiance
then walked down the street for the main attraction. It was kind of a cross between the running of the bulls in Pamplona and the Trailing of the sheep through Ketchum
There is a real good reason they call them Longhorns!
Although the day started out overcast, it ended up very hot and very humid
I still don't understand why they ordered rolls and rolls of that green turf. You think they would have realuzed after making the mistake the first time
ReplyDeleteAbout the color of that playing field: I'm trying to adjust my RGB settings right now. . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd ya know, a flat tracker could just saw off a pair of horns and use 'em as terrific high-leverage handlebars, doncha think?
I told him to get a pair for the front of his bike, but he just grumbled something about the price of gas in California ;-)

ReplyDeleteIf you butchered the bull and ate it in a taco would have a Bull toco?
ReplyDeleteMy father infected this entire family and should be pun-ished.
ReplyDeleteA strange unknown white substance was found at both ends of the green field. When called to investigate, authorities determined that it was called the "end zone." It is seldom seen by the Cowboys team...
