Going To Dallas To The State Fair Of Texas For The Red Rivalry Texas/Oklahoma Cotton Bowl Football Game

It is only 27 degrees above freezing this morning in my zone of Texas, on this, the 2nd day of October.

I believe today is a day you don't want to be going to the State Fair of Texas, unless you enjoy huge crowds. Today the Red River Rivalry comes to Dallas.

The Red River is what you cross when you head north out of Texas in to Oklahoma.

Today in the Cotton Bowl the University of Texas plays a football game with the University of Oklahoma. Or maybe it's called Oklahoma University. This game is what is known as the Red River Rivalry.

Last year there were some transportation problems with DART trains not delivering football fans to the Cotton Bowl in a timely fashion. This year those DART problems are supposedly fixed.

Tomorrow the predicted low is 48. We are getting to the time of year when it is a test of mind over cold to go swimming in an increasingly cold pool. I'll see how that mind over cold thing is working for me in a few minutes.

When I was growing up this was the day we went to the fair. Get there about the time the game starts and the place is empty. It gets busy at the food court at halftime, but other than that, no one there. Everyone else stays away due to fear of crowds.
