Dallas,TX

This week should be a good time to go the fair as far as the weather is concerned. Unfortunately, we went yesterday when we not only had to find our way through the throngs of people, we had to fight through the humidity as well. In the buildings without air conditioning, we simply sat and tried not to move any more than absolutely necessary. But the humidity let the amusement through.

The K-9 show, the “Jump!” tour, was entertaining as the dog show always tends to be. The show not only had the Frisbee catching dogs, and the pole racing, but also including the jumping competition into the water tank. It was almost refreshing to the audience just to see the dogs being soaked in cool water.

The Birds of the World show at the Bandshell is always a colorful visual treat. The grace of the birds is rather peaceful to watch. Having seats in the shade was a definite plus. Although they presented basically the same show, they did through in a few new surprises. Even though I had seen the performance before, the color and grace of the birds was still captivating.

Then back to the TXU Energy Arena for the pig races. The pig races were amusing, even if it was hard to understand the master of ceremonies through the mic crammed into his face and the southern accent. There’s just something about seeing pigs race. It can be downright funny.

Tomorrow I’ll talk about the food, of which there is an abundance.

Have a good day and Peace be with you.
