Fair Play

Sir Luke and I had the great joy and pleasure of accompanying Nate and Jeanne on a family trip to Overton, NV for the yearly Clark County Fair.

Top Five Fair Festivities:

5. Hypnotized boy being aged by the hypnotist: at age 80 he wheels himself around the stage in an imaginary wheel chair, at 90 he clutches his chest and falls over dead.

4. Woman running into Luke and shouting, “Excuse you!” And then being reprimanded by her husband.

3. Finding bigger sunglasses than Jeanne.

2. Man with beer in hand reaching into an empty lemonade stand and eating abandoned fries sitting on a chair.

1. Boy playing with wood airplane aims at the back of woman’s head throws the plane, which hits her in the head causing her to drop one of the funnel cakes she is holding onto the grass.

Sir Luke spent the better part of the day bitterly rehashing his horror of the day when the woman in charge of the strength meter wasn’t paying attention to him hitting the bell and denying him an inflatable snake.

We also got to eat fried chicken in the park with Nate’s family, watch pig races, eat two funnel cakes.
