That’s a new wrinkle!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Welcome back!After that rather disturbing encounter with the clown, you figure not much else can startle you. However, as you pass an open air booth whose main attraction appears to be a pair of Sharpei dogs (the REALLY wrinkly kind) you ARE in fact startled, because you discover that they are not talking about dogs […]
Send in the clown?
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008As you make your way closer to the midway, a clown hops out and hands you a flier. Upon inspection of the flier, you realize that the clown is more than likely that weird little guy that is always walking around town trying to get people to buy term insurance. Actually, he’s more […]
What a lot of bull!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008On the way to the midway, you pass the stalls where the livestock are awaiting judgement. In passing you notice a huge sign proclaiming that all animals entered must be free of testosterone boosters. Wondering why they found it necessary to proclaim that on such a huge sign, you pause to notice […]
And On We Go!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008After paying your way in at the ticket booth, you pause a moment and try to decide what to do first.

Standing in Line
Friday, March 21st, 2008You make your way to the fair grounds, and then to the entrance gate. Waiting in line to pay your way in, you look through the fence.

The Electronics Store
Monday, March 10th, 2008As you leave the courtroom, you see that the girl that was on trial is leaving, trailed by a mob of adoring males, including the judge. She was found not guilty, of course. Suddenly it dawns on you that you need to get a price on laptop memory if you are going to get any […]
Unusual Court Proceedings
Monday, March 10th, 2008Finishing you lunch, you bid farewell to the cafe owner and head back down the street. In the window of the jewelry store is a stunning display of the latest Patek watches. A small card in the corner of the window draws your eye. Interesting. Apparently, there was a robbery at the jewelry store a […]
Finally, Lunch!
Monday, March 10th, 2008Finally, the cafe is in sight. It seems that between the coming elections and the coming county fair, every store on the street has something to attract your attention. Walking through the parking lot past the parked hot rods with their fender flares, you see the familiar sign in the window, announcing that […]
On the Way to the Cafe…
Monday, March 10th, 2008After listening to the politicians in the park, you figure it is just about time to head down to the cafe and grab some lunch. There are a hundred distractions along the way, however. The music store is hosting a sidewalk dance recital, and little girls in tights are jumping all over the place. […]
