Get To Fort Worth from Dallas in 18 Minutes. No really. All they have to do is get everyone to agree to build a bullet train along I-30. Piece of cake, right?
Mary Kay Salespeople Convening Downtown. Â True story: A few years ago I was with a few friends and we had gone to the Dallas World Aquarium. We were walking over to find something to eat when a gaggle of well-dressed women with a lot of lipstick on came up and asked us where the restaurants were. We asked what kind of food they were looking for, and got blank looks. “You know. American food?” one lady supplied. “Chicken strips?” another said. “Nothing undead,” someone else piped up, clearly a scholar on what kind of food you can get in Dallas. We sent the nice Mary Kay ladies to Friday’s. The end.
Most Patriotic Small Town About Hour From Dallas. Depending on traffic, that is. Gainesville was named Rand McNally’s Most Patriotic small town in this year’s Best of the Road survey.

Benumbed by the reality
Of his crazy, sick rampage.
Painful, the parent’s mourning call,
Knowing it could have been you.
Years ago when I was fresh out of college and working for slaves wages an ad agency I also worked as a valet in the evenings. Was working the Mary Kay convention and must tell you they were, by far, the worst tippers I ever encountered. Lots of big cars that smelled of perfume and maybe 1 in 5 tipped the valet drivers.
