fallin' asleep at my computer

i went to the state fair this evening.
minnesota boasts the second largest state fair in the nation.
second only to texas, of course.

i had plans of eating cheese curds, mini donuts, maybe a corn dog
but in the end i didn't eat one single fried thing.
but i did have a yummy corn on the cob (on a stick!)
and then i was able to throw the cob, stick and paper napkin
in a giant compost bin so that was pretty cool.

i saw al franken,
fought the urge to take home a wobbly newborn lamb,
and rode a pretty sweet carnival ride that
was originally built in 1920.

i'm all faired out.
i think i'm too introverted for large, dense crowds.
they're such energy suckers.
phew.
