It's A Beautiful Day

Yes, and the "State Fair of Texas" is in full gear.  This year greeted a new "Big Tex" because of the burn out he incurred last year.  If you remember that fateful day, when across the new media, came pictures of the famous character, in full flames.  It was a sad sight for all of us who have grown up seeing and hearing his voice each year at the "Fair".  He came back with a new look, new duds and a skin tone which was a bit deeper than before.  I considered it a tanned look, but others considered it to be favoring the Mexican origin.  It has raised a few eyebrows as well as caused a few unfavorable comments. 
The weather started the "Fair" off as usual with loud claps of thunder, high winds and heavy rains.  This has been a custom down through the years, for it to rain out the fair goers.  Today, is a nice day to travel in to Dallas and partake of the fun, food, games, events and don't forget the parades.  There are many exhibits located around the park, so go and enjoy.
