Forgot from yesterday, about the tipping, but every drink you buy, like a coffee in a cafe, alchohol at the bar, any time waiting staff or porter etc, tip tip tip. 15-20%, it's a bloody pain.
Even we got a beer at Billy Bob's, $1 in the glass on the bar, even though all he did was take the cap off & pass it to you!  The theory is that anyone in a service job will serve better if the
major part of your pay comes from tips. Seems to me the employers should pay a decent hourly rate, eg our guide explained a waiter may be paid $3 ph, & a checkout chick in Walmart $10-15 ph, Nonsensical.

   Picked up again by Dallas guide Alice, an African American lady of about 60 - or so it turns out, she looked a lot younger.
Alice was quite a character & when no sights to spout about would entertain us with jokes in her broad Texan accent. One of the specialist tours she does is the JFK tour, so she was knowledgable about the subject. She had a list of several pages length of people who died under mysterious circumstances in the years following the assasination. Of course we went to Dealey Plaza & the grassy knoll. 
Dallas is a big town, many big buildings in the cbd, much more than Adelaide, it's 1.2 mill pop. Mostly Baptist , then Catholic  and overpasses EVERYWHERE! If we had 5% of their overpasses, South Rd solved!

Out to Southfork Ranch set of 80's program Dallas (was not aware that there was new Dallas 3-4 seasons, with several of the same cast, more miles on the clock though) which was a real ranch house in Parker,  when the family who owned the house got sick of the rubbernecks, they sold it to the show for $7mill & when you see it in the flesh, quite underwhelming compared to the McMansions we are used to today.

Learnt why Dallas is known as the Lone Star state - when Dallas joined the USA last time, (has been in & out previously) it was written into the constitution that it could sucede at any time

That was about it for Dallas.
