Yes? Oh, hello there.
That swan. It kept looking at me.
(Of course it didn’t: it doesn’t even have eyes.)
(Or DOES it?)
(Swans are weird.)(And swan boats are, too.)

Yes, I looked through the door to see what was inside. If I taught art, I could use this to illustrate how the vanishing point works.
It did kind of blow me away that all these lights were on. On a Sunday. When nothing was going on…

Friendship has been called into question
If you’re in Dallas and want something a little bit out of the ordinary Dallas-y realm, a good place to go is Fair Park when the state fair is not there.
And if you go, can you please check on the friendship situation here at the Magnolia Lounge? That question mark has me a little worried….

The heat. This all happened because of the heat. Oh, and the humidity.
We had one day in Dallas, and it was somewhere above 100°, with the humidity not all that far behind. The plan for the day became “air conditioning is essential” and so we decided to take a drive, in our nicely air conditioned rental car, around White Rock Lake in Dallas. And that’s how we found this boathouse, which was built in the 1930s. According to this article, “When the bathing beach opened in the summer of 1930, Dallas Mayor J. Waddy Tate arranged for the city streetcar line to be extended out to the western shore of White Rock Lake. From this 36-berth boat house, a fleet of speedboats were used to ferry parkgoers to the opposite shore.”
Now the White Rock Boathouse, Inc. leases the facility.

PS – I would absolutely vote for someone named “Waddy Tate.”
