In fact Dallas has more concrete than any city I have ever seen. Concrete is big business in Big D it looks like. \u00a0I don&#8217;t know if you can tell but I&#8217;m not a Dallas fan. Except for the Dallas Cowboys, now I like them. I am not a fan of the Dallas Fort Worth Airport though. I have been flying to it or through it for almost forty years and I hate it. The food is awful also. Hey, I like the Dallas Cowboys though.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_20150303_113013 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16084400424\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8612\/16084400424_d0cb5ce195_z.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150303_113013\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d never seen Dallas so drizzly. \u00a0Enough on Dallas, okay? We went to see a custoemr and it was a short meeting . Too short. We flew back to Tulsa just in time to&#8230;. Go to work!!! Groan. That is okay because I was going to go run on Turkey Mountain afterward with a group of people.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_20150303_184917 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16502650857\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8640\/16502650857_54a03ec6ea_z.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150303_184917\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So I went to Turkey Mountain and there were three other people to run the trails with me. Trouble was, there were all fast and I am slow. Actually if I speeded up I would be considered slow. I don&#8217;t apologize for it, it is what it is. Anyway when it came to time to go I said I would go run the paved trail instead of going with them. They were nice about it and if I wanted to go with them they would have stopped every now and then to let me catch up but neither they or I would have been too happy with that. So they headed off to the mountain and I headed down the hill to the paved trail.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t want to run by myself on the mountain at night. I run all they time during daylight by myself and never get turned around but I do get turned around at night on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_20150303_185304 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/16710125525\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8635\/16710125525_4607162746_z.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150303_185304\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Running on the paved trail on the west bank was pretty eerie.
