Other Events really refers to pictures that I take during Trips and Holidays.....

Personally I love to travel.. the only thing thats actually stopping me from going all over the world is lack of money...Dallas is actually not the best of places to live...if the crazy weather doesn't get to you, the stupid TX drivers will.. the only thing good about North Dallas is that its the center of the best hi-tech companies... so if you are looking for a job, this is one of the better places to be.....otherwise...live somewhere else...being born in Russia, or some other country besides US, gives you a different view on this country and its people...personally I think its a great place to make money, but when it comes to culture..thats a whole different ballpark... US has none..thats really sad....who could blame those stupid americans...I would prefer living somewhere with an ocean and a beach.. or somewhere with lots of snow in the winter for skiing purposes....Dallas has neither..but you do see ski shops around...makes you wonder how they stay in business...well..pretty much if I go on a trip, my digital camera is coming with me... and the pictures will be placed in this section... so till then...BON VOYAGE!!!

and here is some sad truth about the city I live in....

 

 

A VISITORS' GUIDE TO DALLAS, TX

... life in America's fifth largest city.

1. You must learn to pronounce the city name. It is DAL-LUS, or
DAA-LIS depending on if you live inside or outside LBJ Freeway.
2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Dallas has its own version of traffic rules....Hold on and pray. There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dallas. We all drive like that.
3. All directions start with, "Go down to Beltline"...which has no beginning and no end.
4. The Chamber of Commerce calls getting through traffic a "scenic drive."
5. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00. The evening rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:00. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.
6. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed out and possibly shot. When you are the first one on the starting line,count to five when the light turns green before going to avoid getting into any cross-traffic's way.
7. Arapaho Road can only be pronounced by a native. The same holds true for Wycliff Avenue, Worcola Street, Sul Ross and Routh Street.
8. Construction on I-30 is a way of life and form of entertainment.
9. All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we're in Fort Worth!!"
10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a
factory defect.
11. All old ladies with blue hair in pink Cadillacs have the right of
way.
12. Story Road mysteriously changes names as you cross intersections. Unless you're on Storey Rd......
13. If asking directions in Irving, you must have knowledge of
Spanish.
14. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has four terminal
buildings connected by one tram that never works.
15. A trip across town (east to west) will take a minimum of four
hours, although many north/south freeways have unposted minimum speeds of 75.
The minimum acceptable speed on the Dallas North Toll Road is 85. Anything less is considered downright sissy.
16. The wrought iron on windows in and around Oak Cliff isn't
ornamental.
17. Never stare at the driver of the car with the bumper sticker that says,"Keep honking. I'm reloading." In fact, don't honk at anyone. Concealed weapons are a jealously guarded, God-given right.
18. If you are in the left lane, and only going 70 in a 60 mph
zone...people are not waving when they go by.
19. The North Dallas Toll way is our daily version of NASCAR.
20. LBJ is called "The Death Trap" for two reasons: "death" and
"trap."
21. If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend.
22. If it's 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Fort Worth Live
Stock show is going on.
23. If it's rained 6 inches in the last hour, the Byron Nelson Golf
Classic is in the second round.
24. Amusement parks, stadiums, arenas, race tracks, airports, etc. are conveniently located as far away from EVERYTHING as possible so as to allow for ample parking on grassy areas.
