The Fort Worth Zoo was quite nice, although I would want to wait for cooler weather before going back.  The temperature was above 100 °F by the time we left.  Most of the animals were hiding in the shade and trying to keep cool.

We kind of wished we could make like the rhino and just sit in a nice cool pool:

Afterwards, we went to the gun show at the Will Rogers Center, which was only a mile or so north of the zoo.  So not only did my friend experience her first zoo she also went to her first gun show.  I made another acquisition, which I will add to my gun page in a few days.

After that I went to a friend’s housewarming party in Dallas.  I finally made it back home and into bed around 2:30am after a round trip of around 160 miles.  Oh, and to give you an idea of just how “pleasant” our recent hot weather has been, it was still in the upper 80’s when I got home.
