The Magnolia building is one of the most striking buildings in Dallas. In 1934, the Magnolia Petroleum Company, predecessor to Mobil Oil, erected a large oil derrick on the roof that supported two red neon signs in the image of Pegasus, the flying red horse. Mobil, now part of the Exxon Mobil Corp., still uses the logo today. Mobil moved in with Exxon in Irving, but Pegasus still soars over downtown. The downtown office of our largest customer provided me with a great view of this Dallas landmark.
Trendy Dallas based watch maker Fossil is remodeling its store at Stonebriar mall. The boards covering the store are decorated with vintage travel images. One of them is a plane ticket to Arnhem Westerbouwing. Single fare, leaving from gate A3.
We spent the Sunday afternoon at Sneaky Pete's on lake Lewisville, one of the many lakes around Dallas. The heat is bearable now, so there were a lot of people out. We met with a bunch of friends and the boys went swimming in the lake. I wish they had sailing boats here.
