Snowboard Cheapness

Picked Mark up from DFW yesterday, and we hit the pub :-) We had food and beer and he whooped my ass at darts. Today we went to Wal-Mart, and then to Sports Authority. We checked out the snow gear and we couldn't believe how cheap it was! So, $90 (47 quid) later I had a brand new snow board and Mark bought Skis, boots, poles and bindings for $387 (about 232 quid!)

We then had a trip to down town Dallas and had a look around Dealy Plaza. We got accosted by some guy intent on proving the conspiracy theories - I didn't like to argue with him, cos he was quite scary, and I thought he was going to rob us!

Here's some of the pictures from today:

This is me in the Gun section of Sports Authority, notice the insane, manic grin on my face.
















This is the book depository, seen from Houston street














This is the view from the bridge over Dealy Plaza. Notice the easy line of sight from the 6th floor window...If you double click this picture, you can see the X on the street where Kennedy was shot (its 'back and to the left' of the car)

This is a picture of the new (left) and old (right) courthouses, where Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. This was taken from the bridge too.










This 'shot' (no pun intended) was taken from the grassy knoll. In my opinion its the only kind of shot thats ever been fired there :-)



This is a shot of me with a cool building in the background.



And here we have a shot of the day's purchase's :-) As you can see, I still need to get boots and bindings, but at these prices, who cares?! USA, USA, USA!
