Life Isn't (the) Fair





The state fair is on, and if anyone knows anything at all about me, then you know that I love all things involving rides, fair food, and freak shows. The Ohio State Fair is the one thing I have done EVERY SINGLE YEAR while I have lived in Columbus, and this year, I even did it twice. I went with Melissa last week, and I don’t know if people knew the fair was open- we sort of had it to ourselves. We ate lots of food, watched boxing, and saw the world’s Best Bovine, the Butter Cow, who these days keeps company with none other than Ohio’s presidents. Melissa and I also got fair boyfriends who let us ride our ride two or three times- they know how to treat us right. We discovered that if you are at the fair at closing time, you can get pretty much anything you want at cost. Then, this past weekend, I went with Angela and Devin. I exercised my voting rights and Angela introduced us to her new beau. We also watched the pig races- I think my pig won. I hope he didn’t end up in the meat tent! Good thing we had tons of fried food to substantially low our life expectancy to distract us from the bacon.
