Marks pretty boring blog.

I got a text message the other day from my friend Rudd McCLory saying that he was in town helping out his friend Monty at the state fair. Monty Krizan has had his 'Monty's traveling reptile show' out at the state fair for more years then I can remember. Rudd used to be his neighbor when he lived in California and he'll fly out sometimes during the fair to help out. So I went out to the fair this past Sunday to see if I could meet up with Rudd, well Rudd had gone out on the town with Monty that afternoon so I missed him by only about an hour. Well, at least I had a good time at the fair, got some pictures of it too so I'll show you the things that I did.
Here is the front gate, I always take a bus from the park and ride lot that's only about a mile from my house, it's a lot nicer then trying to find parking on the fair site.

Of course I have to start out with one of my favorites, deep fried twinkie on a stick drizzled with chocolate... Mmmm and SO good for you too.

And of course you gotta catch one of the parades that are always going through


Here's the guy I'm probably going to vote for in the gubernatorial election. When you have a choice between the wimpy democrat with a history of alcohol abuse or the hot headed republican with anger issues, third party candidates start looking pretty good.

Montys place. At three bucks a head the guy makes a killing at the fair, it's a good display though and worth the money, he's got some of the biggest snakes I've ever seen. He sure likes his Retics
