Fair

We did a quick walkabout at the State Fair of Virginia today. Lots of laughter, lots of folks, young and old having fun, eating definitely not-good-for-you food and just generally having a great time. I was reminded of the South Dakota State fair some 60 plus years ago when I was the same age as the folks on the ride in the image above. Of course, in the 50s and 60s, we didn’t have any fancy rides like this. In fact, most of the rides we had probably wouldn’t pass the safety requirements today. The weather was great, the crowds were light and everyone was having a good time.

Of course, after racing around sometimes just sitting is good like the image below.
