I went away and the heat wave passed.
It's 63 degrees right now! It's glorious.

fair devotees...

I do appreciate the fact that "healthy choices" are listed alongside my "on a stick" choices!
Only 7 days til the Iowa State Fair begins!
If you are curious, there are currently 57 items on a stick, including, improbably enough,
salad (?), a hard- boiled egg, honey, Hot Bologna,

signs o' turnover...
End of July is...move out of apartments time, new leases start up Aug. 1
Look for: dumpsters overflowing, lots of crap and then sadly some things in pretty good shape
and not really used, as we continue toward our disposable society.
Of note, checked out someone else's pretty crappy dresser (you know the particle board kind) and in the top drawer, a bag full o wine bottles (!) they hadn't time or inclination to dispose of? Or redeem for the deposits.
Ay... college towns...

updates
It's hot. And humid. Probably not really that bad but it feels like it, like when you're outside for more than 5 minutes and are sweating.
Also I saw reindeer at the Scandinavian festival thing in Story City but really they were just kind of sad-looking, and also, probably hot.
And a very old lady in traditional Norwegian dress, who might have been a wax doll. But not really. She might also have been hot.
