Good Weekend

With the UofA/Auburn football game and all the crap craft fairs going on, this looks like a good weekend to stay home.

The Arkansas State Police expect this weekend’s 10 craft fairs, the Razorback football game and the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to Northwest Arkansas.

....

Tourism figures are difficult to determine, but business leaders in the region estimated between 350, 000 and 600, 000 visitors will travel to Northwest Arkansas for the weekend.

If you do have to go out, leave early and drive carefully. If you get stuck in traffic, try some visualization exercises to stay calm. One of my favorites is deciding whether a second round from an RPG would be necessary to clear the debris from the asshat's vehicle that just cut me off so I could drive on unimpeded.

What's one of your favorites?

Is it War Eagle time? And, I think it's Apple Gate? I know it's Apple something...greatest cinnamon rolls in the world.

I have freinds that live in Fayetteville and I first visited War Eagle, I believe about 8 years ago. I love Fayetteville in the fall!!

It is War Eagle time...and AppleGate, and a few new ones. I've never been, though my sis & my daughter usually go. Too crowded for me.

There is a downside to living above Drake Field, even though it isn't a commercial airport anymore. Starting about two hours after the game ends (11:30 PM last night), the incredibly rich alumni (think Jerry Jones) start firing up their Learjets and GIV's and taking off for home. It's like trying to sleep on the deck of an aircraft carrier during combat operations.
