Top deck

I added an album on the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page from the Bahamas cruise. Click the link to the right and be sure to "like" the page.

Just not ready to put Bahamas to bed. Here are two shots from the pool deck.

NCL Sky

This is probably my favorite picture from the vacation. This is our ship, off Great Stirrup Cay island.

I missed football last week. This is Homecoming week for the Tigers. They host Red Oak Friday night. Terrell had a bye last week, while the Hawks from Red Oak are coming off of a win against Waxahachie. The Tiger offense will have to be on their game as Red Oak boasts a top 10 area Class 4A defense, they are only giving up just over 80 yards a game rushing. Red Oak is ranked #11 in the area 4A Dallas Morning News poll. Will Terrell have both quarterbacks in uniform Friday night?

Looks like the Tax ratification vote for the Terrell ISD passed 60%-40%. I guess thats good news for the school district.

Parks College, Cahokia, IL.

I grew up in Cahokia, IL. It's a small town on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River across from St. Louis. Parks College was part of life in Cahokia, it was an aviation college that was part of St. Louis University. In 1997 the College was moved across the river to the main campus of SLU. The buildings in Cahokia have remained abandoned and left to vandals and nature.

I couldn't resist getting a few pictures of the place. A police officer stopped in, checked on us and what we are doing. He said there were plans to convert one of the buildings into a new police station, but the cost to renovate was to great. They have built a YMCA on part of the campus.

I added more pictures from the college on flickr.

Flown the coop

Yes, those are my legs. See ya sometime next week. I am taking a day or two off.

Skywatch Friday-Hoover Dam

I guess last weeks and this weeks post could be called reverse Skywatch Friday since they are looking at the ground from the sky. This is Hoover Dam on the border of Arizona and Nevada taken out the window as our jet was making the approach into Las Vegas. The white on the rocks is where the water level should be. You can also see the new bridge thats being built. Click the picture for a better look.

Harrahs Jester and a clown

Two weeks today since Google screwed up my domain name. I was told they were working on restoring my name......I don't have much confidence that they will do it anytime soon.

Theme day-Glass

This is the Encore Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. It celebrated its grand opening in December. It was a must see when we visted last week. The interior is very nice.

Today is Theme Day for CityDailyPhoto. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Skywatch Friday-DFW International Airport

Our trip to Las Vegas was on Southwest Airlines. Southwest does not fly out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, but it does fly over it. This is looking out the window of our 737 over DFW, one of the busiest airports in the world.



Today is Skywatch Friday, to see all sites taking part click here.


I have started a second site Terrell Daily Dose. Its not going to be so much a photo site as a place to jot down whatever is on my mind. If this site ever goes away, I will keep the DD, its a wordpress site.

Carrot Top at the Luxor

We went to see Carrot Top at the Luxor. Seventh row seats and funny as hell. Of course no cameras in the auditorium.

Las Vegas for the pep's

Mo from Another Las Vegas Daily Photo posted a photo of this sign on December 27th. At the time the sign said the candidate was "for the pep's" Mo wrote, and I am sure everyone agreed that it probably should be "for the peeps". Notice that part of the sign has been painted over. I thought it was funny to see a sign that I recognized from CDPB, my friends thought I was crazy.

I totally enjoyed the trip to Las Vegas, didnt win any money, but thats ok. To see more of Las Vegas visit Mo daily. She has the pictures and the history to go with it.

First set of Vegas pics

I posted my first set of Vegas pics here. These are from Fremont St. The old part of town.


Yes thats my ugly face and fat body in front of the 4 Queens Casino.

I am back

I hate to say it but we are back from Las Vegas. The trip was wonderful. In the coming days, I will post pictures on my second page of the trip. One picture for today is the hotel we stayed at. By the time we left there was nothing left.



Not really, this is the old Frontier. There was a larger building farther back from the strip that was imploded late last year. I guess this was a smaller building they decided they could just tear down instead. When we got to Vegas on Tuesday almost the entire building was standing. By the time we left on Friday afternoon, it was gone.

Mo posted two photos of the main hotel building before it was imploded and the reason it had to be removed. In my post you can see more of the Trump Tower. I guess the parking garage is going up in front of it.

I am sorry I wasn't able to make it to everyones site on Jan 1. We were rushed leaving the for the airport, we had to fight Cotton Bowl traffic so we left early. Thanks to everyone who made nice comments about my post.
