Early To The Doctor Makes Me Late To The Tandy Hills Calling Carlotta Camano To Go To Sea-Tac While Elsie Hotpepper Needs To Get Dressed

I think this afternoon was the first time I've gazed upon the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Fort Worth since it was announced that Fort Worth was named one of 10 towns being 2011's All-America Cities.

A doctor appointment in Hurst, this morning, that lasted past noon, had me later than usual doing my usual daily endorphin inducing aerobic activity.

Today's late aerobic activity took place on the dried out Tandy Hills.

We did not get to 100, again, here in my zone of North Texas. But, it was not being breezy, so the hills seemed HOT.

After my hill hiking I went to Town Talk.

When I left Town Talk I called Carlotta Camano.

Earlier today Carlotta Camano emailed me to tell me she was going to a Seattle Sounders game tonight to celebrate the last day of school. With a Dick's Deluxe Burger on the way to the game.

In Carlotta's email she told me she could pick me up at Sea-Tac, if needed, after the game.

So, when I left Town Talk I called Carlotta to tell her I was waiting to board at Love Field and that I needed her to pick me up at 9:15 at the Southwest Airlines gate zone.

Some hilarity ensued.

Whenever I talk to Carlotta Camano it makes me think I would have enjoyed being a school teacher.

I got to my destination and continued to talk to Carlotta til overheating set in due to there being too much hot air.

When I eventually got back to my current location I was a bit surprised to see an urgent message from Elsie Hotpepper telling me she desperately needed help getting dressed.

I tell you. It is always something. And usually it is something caused by someone of the sex opposite mine.

The Smoggy Sunday Skyline Of Beautiful Downtown Fort Worth From The Top Of Mount Tandy

The plan, when I left my abode at noon, was to go to Oakland Lake Park to walk around Fosdic Lake and feed the ducks.

I figured the Tandy Hills had not dried out from our most recent deluge.

As I drove towards Fosdic Lake and the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Fort Worth came into view, I was surprised by how smoggy the view was.

I'd been oblivious to the state of today's Fort Worth air, til I saw the FW skyline through a thick haze and then looked in the other directions, where I could see into the horizon, and saw a thick foggy smog had descended over the D/FW Metroplex.

I decided I wanted to take a picture of the Fort Worth skyline. That required going to the top of Mount Tandy. I figured I'd take my picture and try to hike, but if it was muddy, I'd go back the short distance to Fosdic Lake.

Well, the Tandy Trails turned out to be dry. So I got in some good, salubrious, aerobicizing hiking.

Due to the humidity and the temperature nearing the 90 zone, by the time I was done I was a totally wet mess. Wettest mess I ever recollect getting whilst hiking on the Tandy Hills.

I am ready for this ultra-humidity to go away.

Although, the ultra-humid wet wool blanket type air does make getting in the pool very refreshing.
