It’s official, at least in my mind, fall is here. Even though temps will climb back to 90 for a few more days … fall in Texas arrives when big Tex goes up at the state fair.

Tex gets some new duds this year. Sporting new jeans and new shirt … someone said that he got a face lift in the off season … sheese … everyone is getting cosmetic surgery.

As a kid … the state fair was something I really looked forward to. Being in the marching band … we also got to march in the Cotton Bowl parade … always behind the Bud trailer with the Clydesdales. Our nice white shoes. eeeewww.

Ah, the promise of cooler weather … someday. On another note … in watching the Cowboy game last night they kept saying that it was humid on the field and that the Green Bay players had to get oxygen and take on IV’s …. BUT IT WAS 65 degrees. Our guys are used to it being 95 and humid … I guess that were just loving the temp.

Go Big Tex.
