Funless Fair, smell

Despite our sour experience at the county fair last year, we decided to go again anyway. After paying 5 dollars to park and 16 dollars admission, we walked into the event down 21 bucks already. We soon realized the money could have been much better spent. Each year it seems the entertainment at the fair has gotten more and more sparse, replaced with more and more vendor stands selling junk food, worthless trinkets and other shit. The stuff I enjoyed like the wrestling, the high wire stunt show, the english singing acts are all gone. The only thing we enjoy anymore is seeing the animal and plant displays. To see all of that took all of a half hour. I was still feeling sick in my stomach so I had no interest in rides. Plus, attendance for the fair was very light last night so as you walk down the aisles you were like a piece of fresh meat to coyotes(fair people) that haven’t eaten in days. I hate being solicited. So after Ali and I grabbed a snack, we left. I think the entire experience took less than an hour. Next year there is a good chance we will skip it all together.

On SB sunday I had to run to the local convenience store to pick up some stuff. As I get out, a woman comes up to me and says “Excuse me, what cologne are you wearing?” I didn’t know why she would ask me that so my first reaction was to think she smelled something on me. “Nothing” I said, “Maybe you smell the soap I use” She laughed and said no, she was selling discount cologne. Hahahaha. I politely told her, no thanks. Her and another shady looking dude took off in their car shortly there after.

My commute took 90 minutes AGAIN today. Ali and I discussed the idea of buying a townhouse closer in and keeping our house as an investment. Talking about it is easy, financing such plans would be very daunting.
