Some people are just plain nice people. For that, I thank this aviator with a belated thank you in our cover-header image today.
Many things going on around the Metroplex of late. The latest was Stephen Millard, the founder of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival for the past 28 years is calling it quits.
The talk has resumed on the planned watershed between the levees from downtown to the Great Trinity Forest. We have been down that road already several years ago but it is beginning to sound like its finally going to get done. A filter wetland will be the first in the nation. It will filter rainwater before it is returned to the Trinity River.
Fair opens for the annual run the last week of the month on the 30th and run into mid October, ending on October 23rd. Basically, it's a three week run for fun.
The weather pattern is finally shifting and it can't shift fast enough after a long and hot summer that came early and has stayed to long.
I have begun the search for a new domain host for the webpage and the daily blog. The problems with the current one has gotten worse the past three years. It's time to find something better.
Went to a doctor's appointment yesterday that had been previously cancelled the day before I was due to go because the doc was in surgery. Yesterday was the make up and lasted longer than I had anticipated. Then when I got on the bus the route had been changed. I got off at the old Valley View Mall in north Dallas and had to walk nearly two miles to the cross transfer. I finally made it home by past 5. I was so tired that I went to bed at 8 pm and slept to 9:30 this morning. It felt pretty good to be able to sleep in, too.
Now, the object will be focused on watching the Queen's funeral and the up coming King's Coronation. When Queen Elizabeth was having her coronation, I was a just a lad and remember sitting on the living room floor in front of a black and white television in awe at the pomp but so interested with England at the time. That was, as we now know 70 years ago. So I almost feel obligated to watch the funeral. Obligated because I have always respected her from afar. She was a class act in all that she did. There is a chef here in Dallas that served for 15 years in Buckingham Palace cooking for Her Majesty the Queen. He said, today in an interview, "... she was the most gracious ever".
God save the King.
