Yeah, thanks, Slinger. I know it doesn't sound too...

Yeah, thanks, Slinger. I know it doesn't sound too terribly appetising, but you know, State Fair, something is in the air that makes us all curious.

When I was at HU, there were heaps of kids from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and a few from Brazil in the English Language courses, and at the first snow (you know, the hit-ground-melt-immediately stuff) they all went wild dancing in barefeet and T-shirts, one boy sloshing in the puddle like a piglet - all of 10 minutes, but every year. I do NOT miss Minnesota Februaries; that's another story altogether.

I do know what you mean Meg about leaving Minnesot...

I do know what you mean Meg about leaving Minnesota and you'll miss what I have here. Wifey and I went to Jamaica a couple times and talking with the locals, they had never seen snow. They don't know what it's like to see the seasons change and that was quite an odd thought to me as I take it for granted living where I do.

The spaghetti on a stick, I know it was there, but I wasn't able to find the location it was being sold at this year. It doesn't sound like something I would be interested in trying, but I certainly was curious how they make them. I'll put it on my list for next year.

Hey, Slinger, Carol (www.stpauldailyphoto.blogspot.com) says there were spaghetti-and-meatballs-on-sticks at the State Fair - did you happen to catch that one by any chance? How on earth did they ... solidify it? Have you ever eaten one? It sounds like the type of food one would eat only at the State Fair.

That's like the cherry blossom forecast in Japan; my parents follow it closely and try to catch the peak blossoms at at least three places all over the country, so maybe the leafy news are good for retired folks looking for some excitement? The cherry blorrom forecast is followed by the pollen forecast, which is a downer. Over here we have the UV forecast in the summer - how many minutes before you get burned in the sun - but this doesn't make sense to me much except for being a kind of a indicator of how bad the UV is... Anyway, enjoy the colours. Try leaving Minnesota, the colours are all you think about in September!
