The addition to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's cruciform is now finished and looks absolutely amazing. The fall colors are this afternoon before the 60 mile per hour winds and rain hits them later this evening. The rainbow was a big surprise as the few sprinkles didn't add up for much. The heavy rain is due later tonight and tomorrow morning.

Dallas Market Hall Becomes the Blog Grinch of the SEASON !
Dear Readers, Bill Winsor and the Team , Occupy Wall Street and Satellites.
This space was planned to have a picture of the Salvation Army's big and beautiful "Angle Tree".The "sample" show at the Dallas Market Center aka Market Center Management Co.Ltd.; Crow Holdings which manage the property and investments of Harlan Crow and the Trammel Crow Family, has a much larger tree than the area malls Angle trees.
Today, a call was placed to Dallas Market Center in a courtesy jester to ask if cameras would be allowed at the sample show. The person on the other end of the line could not answer the question, so she offered to put me on hold OR call me back while she checked. Moments later, she returned to relay that she would be transferring the call to [M] ( I won't list "M's" name,though I would like to state that here). M came on the line waiting while the nature of the call was being restated to her. She ask a few questions and when she learned that this was an event blog the sound of keys were heard as she announced into the phone that she was "Googling the blog. Then she stated that she could not find the blog in Google.( For the record, if you type it in correctly, two full pages comes up with the blog, and details of some articles etc.,etc.). But, M couldn't find it when she Googled.
The bottom line is that I could come to the sample show but she, [M],didn't want me taking pictures.
So, rather than become what M was becoming, we parted ways on the phone .
The big people(1%) can come take pictures but the llttle guy (99%) still gets shut out in 2011.

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).
