9/11/13 - Dallas, Texas
Today is the 12th anniversary of 9-11. We drove into George W. Bush’s Library in
Dallas on the SMU campus. They had some
special exhibits and movies pertaining to 9-11 in their classrooms today. We walked through the library and saw the
replica of the Oval Office during Bush’s term.
In the library there was a section on 9-11 that contained some of the
metal girder from one of the twin towers.
Channel 5 NBC from Dallas was there and interviewed me in the special
artifacts exhibit. They took video of
my presidents t-shirt that I was wearing and my sparkly sequin red, white and
blue cap. They also wanted me to sit
behind the desk in the Oval Office. You can see their video on the link below. I show up towards the end of the video at 1:27. If the link doesn't work, a video we took off our trailer TV is also posted below.
When we finished at the library, we drove to a good
beer bar. We have already been to the
brewpubs that you can visit in Dallas.
There are quite a few microbreweries but they don’t offer samples except on weekends. You have to go to a bar to buy
them. I called Peticolas Brewing and he
told be to try Craft & Growler fairly close to the Bush Library. We drove there and had a Grandbury, Texas
beer – Revolver, Blood & Honey; Ft. Worth, Texas – Martin House, Pretzel
Stout; Dallas – Community, Mosaic IPA; Dallas – Peticolas, Velvet Hammer. We got back to the Casita at 5:01 and turned
the TV on. They did play part of my
interview at the Bush Library. I told
mother that I sure sounded like a country hick, she laughed really hard. At 6 pm they shortened the news clip and the
interviews with a teacher and me weren’t on there.
But they did show me walking by the exhibit. I cooked supper and we listened to it thunder (but it didn't rain). There was another pretty sunset.
