Stewardess Fashion (If you can't get enough of Pan Am TV series)
Today was Musuem Day to the affiliates of the Smithsonian. The crowds were orderly but festive and the new Southwest exhibit of aircraft tail number N300W was open. In June, the plane was just being positioned with its nose inside the Frontiers of Flight Museum (the rest of the Boeing 737 is outside the museum on the tarmac).

A Brief Note from Dallaspaparazzo
Hello blog followers.
The past two weeks has been uneventful as for as new post and new images go. However, following an ambulance ride,test and dignosis,surgery at the hands of my cardiologist now has me back on the recovery wheel. My strength has been a bit slow to return although the will to rebuild strength has been immediate.
The weather patterns has changed just as I start to get out a bit more and not be a total couch potato for the rest of the day. Hopefully, with the fall festivals and themes aproaching, bringing you urban life in pictures will once again be my joy.
Thanks for your patience. It means alot.

Interesting Facts about CNG for Cars and Trucks
For a while now, seeing the CNG sticker on a government vehicle was noticed but not given much thought. Then, seeing those space age stations that have begun to show up raised a bit more interest. Well, it was a rather interesting exploration and here are the findings in text and in image.
Natural gas is priced in a GGE unit. A unit is one gasoline gallon equivalent that
equals 5.660 lbs of natural gas. The fittings are rather straightforward; 3000psi (the blue habdle) or 3600psi (the orange handle) determines which side of the pump you use. And, if you should not know what psi stands for; well, that's straightforward too, pounds per square inch.
You can rest a bit in knowing that quantity of natural gas delivers approximately the same amount of energy to your vehicle as a typical gallon of gasoline. CNG is at a minumum 90% methane.
So, when you see the image of the pump registering 7.000 gge that means you just purchased about 35 lbs of natural gas for $19 and change. Convert that from the price of gasoline and that same amount of gasoline would have cost this past week at fill up time about $35.00.
