its october so that can only mean one thing.. state fair time here in north carolina! now i'm not sure if every one of our 50 states has their own fair, but no doubt each one would be unique. NC always offers: fried oreos-pickles-coke!-peanut butter sandwiches (how these foods survive the oil bath or somehow find the need to be fried i will never know..), monster sized turkey legs, performances by washed up american idols, rickety rides you could not bribe me to get on, abmormally large vegetable contest winners, tractor pulls and THE BEST people watching you could ever encounter. i mean seriously, these people come out of their huts and head to the fair.. anyway my plan for the fair this year, besides eating my way thru a few funnel cakes, will be to play the "guess my age" game.
at the pool this week i was chatting with someone and he asked how old i was. he gasped after hearing the real number and i asked how old he thought i was . 24 he said. ok granted my maturity has leveled off around that point, but for sure i look a bit more worldly than that? I've been lowballed before at 26 or 27 but never like that.. anyway i guess i should be happy about it, but nonetheless i plan to put that to my advantage in winning an obnoxiously large stuffed rhino at the fair this year.
i'm still looking for my spark for tomorrow's race. last one of the year. gotta make it a good one. gotta make it a GREAT one.
this pumpkin weighs over 1100 pounds!
