A Day at The New DFW Founder's Plaza

On Saturday, Abby and I visited the newly opened DFW Founder's Plaza observation area at the DFW Airport. It's located on the northwest corner of the airport versus the old area which was at the southeast corner. This location is better since during the warmer months the prevailing southerly winds force the planes to land north to south making this area a prime location to watch landing planes. You had to brave the cold winter winds to watch landing planes at the old place.

This is the old beacon which was moved a few hundred yards from it's old location to be at the plaza.


The Plaza has a map showing the location of the runways.


Abby watches a plane take off.


The closest runway is "18-Right"...

Stonehenge revisited

Yes, I'm a tool for CNN now. There was a story on Stonehenge about how researchers think the location was a place sick people came to be healed. CNN's iReport website invited viewers to upload their own pics/videos of the place. And so you have this...

The New Dallas Cowboys Stadium

I was traveling southbound on Industrial Blvd in Euless, TX Sunday morning and snapped a shot of the new home to the Dallas Cowboys.


If you can't tell, it's that large spacecraft looking thing on the left side of the road in the distance. According to Google Earth this picture was taken 7 miles away!!

Come to think of it, maybe it is one of the spaceships from Independence Day...

We're Back.

Been on vacation in Puerto Rico for a week and got back late last Wednesday night. I took an extra day of PV (personal vacation) from work so I didn't go to work on Thursday. Hoping to make an update with pictures and all here on the blog soon but household chores are taking up my time.
