It is to be hoped that y'all enjoyed the pun series. It was fun for me too!. Here is the final pun of that series, #38. It goes like this:
"The poor guy fell into a glass grinding machine and made a spectacle of himself."
This is another hay field I would visit in the fall. Now, it's home to 660 people.
People that held land like this, all began to cash in on the building boom when it was announced that Dallas needed 40,000 new living spaces for the influx of people moving into the city on a daily basis.
Try finding a vacant lot today. Everywhere I knew where one was, is now, either an apartment building, a multi-apartment building, new smaller size homes, During the past 5 years, at least 10 new homes have been built at White Rock Lake, some on prime lake front property. Others were built on higher grounds that were beautiful for native grasses or wildflowers or places where beautiful hummingbirds came for nectar.
Yesterday, Mayor Johnson ,cut off the lights to all the tall downtown building until the end of October because of the number of migrating birds that are drawn by the lights from high altitude routes and fly into the buildings or they fly circular paths around the buildings until they collapse from exhaustion and fall to the ground dead. A daily crew walk the 7 mile route around the central business district and pick up either the ones that survived and or injured and those that are dead. Beautiful humming birds are in that group of birds in the migration flights. Dallas is directly in the path of the central migration route. It is why photography of birds in Dallas is so good for unusual species that we don't see very often.. I still find it amusing that we now have born and breed Canadian Geese that live here all year and are Texans by birth!!
