Made it to the County Fair with Hambet today. He seemed to enjoy it, at least some of the time. I love fairs but I don’t like crowds and I hate intense heat, which poses a bit of a problem because fairs tend to attract crowds and have this strange pattern of always being held… Continue reading Tale of a Friday
