We went to the horse races when we were in Dallas-Ft Worth visiting Alonda's sister and dad. Jim got the biggest win. He went by one of the automatic machines and noticed that someone had left their winnings on it, so he pushed the button and won!
We went to a semi-pro baseball game between the Ft Worth Cats and the Grand Prairie Air Hogs. Jim managed to get his picture with the mascot. He likes the logo enough to be a fan (if he lived near there!)
It sure looked like the Air Hogs were going to win, but the Ft Worth Cats pulled it out in the last two innings and won.
This is what a "pork project" looks like. Representative Norm Dicks with Govenor Gregoire (in green) and the Secretary of Transportation are all doing the ribbon cutting for a 200 meter tunnel in Bremerton. It makes it easier for the cars to leave the ferry boat and head for the freeways.
This will be the only time in history that pedestrians will be allowed to walk through the tunnel.
They put some money into decorating the insides. This will give the drivers something to look at as they whiz past all that art work on the walls.
The local classic car club brought out all their old iron for a car show. The tunnel looks pretty nice, but you are not allowed to stop and look at it!We had a pretty quiet summer. Toured clocks in Seattle, hung around our condo, visited relatives in Texas and Illinois and stopped off in Toronto on the way back to Karachi.
