I am heading to downtown Fort Worth's west side, to Trinity Park, in a bit to see if Mayor Mike Moncrief actually goes ahead with his plan to dye the Trinity River purple.And rename it Horned Frog River.
All because a Fort Worth football team, called the TCU Horned Frog's, has won some games. And their school color is purple.
Too bad TCU's color wasn't brown instead of purple. Wouldn't have needed any dye if that were the case.
This has boondoggle written all over it. How much dye would have to be inserted into the river to color a section of it purple?
I'm hoping to get some good pictures. And maybe video. But I'm assuming this expedition will end up being a big dud.
On a totally unrelated, though wet note, it was 40 degrees when I tried to go swimming at 7:30 this morning. I lasted about 2 minutes in the icy water. Now, over 2 hours later I am still sort of shivering. Methinks my pooling may be over for awhile unless we get some warm days. I kept pooling last year til sometime in December.
Will this Global Warming thing I keep hearing about ever make it to Texas?
