More on the fair: I ate some stuff that isn’t very good for me. Looking for food at the fair can be overwhelming. The pressure! Should I buy fried cheese on a stick? Deep-fried green pepper rings? Might there not be something better just around the corner? "Hotdish on a stick?" (Meatballs and tatertots skewered, batterfried, and served with a cream-of-mushroom dipping sauce.)
I noticed, this year, that the longest lines were at the espresso bar. Hmmm.
