Brrrr!! It was 24° this morning. Ugh! We lingered over coffee at Rick and Lynette’s and then went to the Route 66 Diner for a late breakfast (Marv, Lynette, and I) or early lunch (Rick). Good diner food! From there we took the Blue Line light rail downtown. We visited the “Grassy Knoll” and saw the Book Depository building window from which John F. Kennedy was shot. Despite the cold we walked around the whole area seeing Old Red, the historic County Courthouse; the “herd” of bronze long horns and cowboys making up the Cattle Drive in Pioneer Park; and the Dallas Convention Center. They were doing auditions there for America’s Got Talent and we tried to talk our way into the waiting room to watch the contestants but it didn’t work so we had to be satisfied with just observing them as they waited to go into the judges. We took the Blue Line from the Convention Center station and headed home. Dinner was at a local Italian place called Luigi’s. The day wrapped up with hockey on the NHL Network and blogging, with a lot of talking all the while.
The Blue Line sounds pretty useful for getting around. I can't tell you how many times the CATA bus goes by our house empty or near empty. What's a person to do?

The great thing about being a Michigander is that you can walk around in the cold in it is okay. I think I told Peggy that when we were in Alaska in May, all the other tourists were from Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and we were all having a wonderful time, despite the 'relatively' cool temperatures.
