John Wayne Star

 

Fort Worth, John Wayne Star

John Wayne was a famous cowboy actor that politicians like to imitate today.

 

Fort Worth, Topical Steer

All kinds of steer, bush steer, wall painting steer, real steer.

This bronze cowboy will be here long after the real ones are gone and buried.

I guess sand bags are becoming part of my repertoire?

 

Houston, Fountain

 

Houston, Fountain

What a beautiful night it was.  I wish I had more time to explore Houston.  They had a couple of good art museums there, with some great abstract art done by high school kids.  Where did that teacher come from?

I have no idea what the ATS stands for, but the colors and patterns were irresistible.

This cover has seen better days.

 

 

Dallas TX, Texas Special Cover

 

Dallas, Texas Special Cover

This upside-down cover is a great example of the Lone State's humility and reserve.

 

Dallas TX, Last Cover

 

Dallas, Last Cover

This may well have been the last manhole cover that JFK rode over before he was assassinated in 1963.

 

Dallas TX, X Marks the Spot

 

 

Dallas, X Marks the Spot

This X is a manhole of a sort, considering that this is the spot where JFK took his final fall.  The sadness of this spot is more moving than the eternal flame in DC.
