"No shit, there we were...."

Leane & I made it, eventually. A total stranger from out of the crowd proved not to be an axe murderer. (So few of them ever are; the odds were with us. Still, it was nice to have our unspoken assessment confirmed.)
I hope to write up the entire 4-harmony, but sleep, work, and travel are all higher on the priority list.
For future reference: if anyone at the Crowne Plaza in Addison, Texas tells you to take the Green Line DART train from the station right in front of the State Fair to the Addison stop, where the hotel shuttle will then pick you up, rest assured they haven't a clue as to what they're talking about. And if multiple people tell you that or otherwise confirm the accuracy of the information, rest assured none of them have a clue as to what they're talking about, either.
Biggest pleasant surprise of the day? Deep-fried Twinkies are remarkably tasty, in ways one would never think a Twinkie could possibly be.
P.S. Ostrich races are pretty darned amusing, too. And the architecture at the State Fair of Texas is by far the best I've seen at any fair, anywhere. 'Twas a splendid day.
