Today,The Cowboys are opening the NFL season at AT&T Stadium. The party has already begun. Pun # 36 Follows

 Pun # 36.

" Acupuncture  is a jab well done."

 

 AT&T Stadium has the roof open for tonight's game. At Half-time, the Hall of Fame Inductees will get their rings, with  a little over 1 Karat diamond  set in the band of 24 K Gold. That's a payday for some in value. The New Miller Lite House (The official beer of the Dallas Cowboys) has their new House open outside of the stadium before the game tonight.

Several days of rain from a system in the 4-corners area moving this way will give us much needed rain over the next 5-days. Weatherman Rick says we should pick up about 1-2 inches of rain out of the system as it moves pass over the next 5-days.

Check out the sneakers in the link above. We have been updating items in our Zazzle collection store for Moontripper and Glendine's Fashion Design Works. We are devoted to putting color in all our designs. Bright little streaks or wide bands. The latte mugs are looking good. We're happy with those too. 

 Todays' pun # 35

"Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses" 

Not really, but that's the way the pun goes. Don't you know? Only three remaining from Mo's original list. There was a glitch in how the list was printed and it looked like three full pages at first. Once into it, the repeats begin to appear here and there in the next to pages. That's why I numbered them. Only the ones that were not repeated in the list. So goes the shortened version from the original statement.Sorry about that. I really am. Even I, have enjoyed the daily smile or laugh.

There are ballrooms in the new complex as well.

Happy Friday. For some, it could be very good news. There are only 5 more puns available! from Mo's List

 Well, summer is trying to make a comeback already. The temps have been inching upwards one or two degrees a day since the three days of absolute delightful fall weather. Even the nighttime temps have moved up from the 50's to 70s by the end of the weekend. Rain, finally, is coming from a low out in the desert of  the southwest. We need some more rain. Our impressive surplus has slipped to under an inch since the first of the year early July.

Okay, here is pun # 33 for today. It goes like this:

 " When an actress saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye."

A Couple of Train Trips Today

 Yes, today was a day for the railroads. The trip began with about a 8-minute bus ride to the train station. From there it was taking the Red line to the St. Paul station downtown, then transfer to the Orange line for a trip to DFW's terminal A on DART light rail. From there, it was a little bit of a walk, but not overbearing and the walk to terminal B from terminal A was outside. Finding the TEX rail station was exactly where I thought it would be (it was my first trip on the new TEXrail). The original plan was to ride the TEXrail all the way to the Center Station in Ft.Worth, but the trip ate up a bit more time than I had planned. So, I got off at downtown Grapevine and checkout the new bronze statuary of Circle of Peace before having a late lunch at Weinberger Deli in Downtown Grapevine. The Weinberger Reuben was out of this world. The new tower complex at the Old rail station had to be put on hold. Guided tours run $3 of the complex plus a view from the top of the tower overlooking downtown. My train back to DFW was due in about 6 minutes. As it was, it came in on track 1 and I was at track 2 so had to hustle to catch the train.The engineer said ,"I saw you hustling and wouldn't leave with out you." That is the one thing that was recalled about riding the TRE and now, the TEXrail. They have that conductor finesse that DART lacks. The comparison runs like the difference between riding in a hailed taxi and riding in a top notch limo.Oh, there is such a difference and yes, it can be said that TRE and TEXrail have exhibited it from the very beginning. 

Walking in the door at home exactly 6 hours and 5 minutes after leaving the house was not bad. It can also be said that of the three rail lines, the TEXrail, which is an electric diesel like the TRE is even smoother riding than the TRE and certainly left DART at the station, pardon the pun. Speaking of that: today's pun # 32 follows here.

" Those who jump off a Paris bridge are in Seine."

Beautiful Weather, Running Late, Creative Mode All Day, Pun#31

 Well, sorry to be late today. The cold front arrived and the weather today was delightful. Three more days before the humidity and dew points return, though not as high as we have had before the cold front and our  eighth 100°day this year. Normal is 20. Today was a long sleve day for the shirts.

Been in a creative mode all day long. Still feel creative and making notes. I have a creative train ride coming up. Will ride DART to DFW. Walk from terminal A to terminal B, board the TEXrail and ride it to Ft. Worth to the TP Station (Texas and Pacific) where I will board the TRE (Trinity Rail Express) and come back into Dallas Union Station where I will catch the DART RED Line back home. While in Ft. Worth, depending on the time, I might ride the bus down to the Stockyards and have either lunch or dinner. It has been awhile since being in the stockyards. There has been a lot of changes made since my last trip. 

Today's PUN # 31 goes like this:" Once you've seen one shopping center, you've seen a mall."

A sign on the first day of Astrological fall that not only is it knocking on the door, it's here!

A Real Cold Front Has Passed.

 Pun # 30 for today's post.

 

 Well, Astrological fall arrives at 2:20 cst here in Dallas tomorrow. Out first really strong fall cold front arrived early this morning and it is absolutely delightful outside. The Arboretum fall displays of 90,000 pumpkins and gourds is now time to go while the displays are set up. Also, the Texas State Fair opens this weekend in Fair Park and it will be great to go walk the grounds and have a Corney dog. The deep fired selection for this year is also very interesting. 

As promised, here is Pun #30,  And here it is:

"The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large."
