The Utah County Fair.


The start of my day.



Lunch at Applebee's 



My Santa Fe Chicken Salad.  It's not what it used to be.  It used to be served with guacamole and sour cream.  They're really cutting back on the good stuff at Applebees.   


Hot fudge shooter for desert!



On my way to the Utah County Fair.



The parking lot behind the fairgrounds.



Is this the way in to the Fair?



I think so...


Let's see what's in here..


Hmmm...I don't see anything in here.  Let's have a closer look.



I walked and closer and looked to the left...


And then I looked to the right.....


...and realized that I must not have taken the right way to the fair. 

Heading back out!


This look a lot more promising.


Yeah, I think this is the right way.  There about to have some kind of pig competition under the tent.


The food court is straight ahead.  Look like a good place to start.

Looks like a good place to get some grub.




The craziest hot dog I've ever had.




The remains of my hot dog on the concrete under where I ate.



 I got hot dog stuff on my shirt and tried to wash it off.  I hope my shirt will not be a casualty of the hot dog.


Wish I were a kid again so I could do the Wave Runners!



A psychedelic band that wears strange white masks.  They call themselves Fat Candice.

An American Idol inspired panel of judges.

An Hispanic rapper guy.  He calls himself Kemp.

The infamous Tilt-a whirl.


This tractor wasn't part of the show but I lived it.  My Grandpa used to have one just like it. 



Most memorable with the building with all the 4-H projects on display.

Ceramics.  I tried making on of these in 7th grade arts and crafts.  Unfortunately, my head didn't survive the oven.






Tomatoes!   Here's lies the most prized tomatoes in the state.

Lego Blocks.



Some of the best sunset's I've ever seen.













 I wish I had gotten the name of this band.  They featured the only female singer of the evening.






 I was late getting to the animals but I enjoyed petting this pony.  It didn't liked my flashing my camera, though.

Afternoon Lunch at Sizzler while waiting for my car at Integrity Auto



Ken Burns: Prohibition

The Anti-saloon league


Adolfus Busch
 Completed part I


Ted Talks

Daniel H. Cohen: For argument’s sake 

 

Isaac Asimov Quiz

Subject: CULINARY MATTERS
(e.g., Which citrus fruit is named after a human body part? Answer: Navel orange.)

Really enjoying this photo posted by friend Bryce on Facebook


Finshed watching Scarface documentary

Heading out to get my car fixed.


The maze of road contruction.


A interesting curio display at Integrity Auto Repair

I asked them to drop me off at Sizzler for lunch while they check my car.


Half heads with sun glasses straight ahead.
Parking lot photos









Enjoying my snack cake at Anaya's Market.


Walking back to Integrity Auto to pick up my car.  There were a few notable sites.


A slick looking storage facility called King Arthur storage.


All-Stor storage right next door.  Not anywhere near as cool looking.

Gator Wash across the street.  Never noticed this place before.







I'll have to go back for a car wash here, just for the fun of it.


Approaching Integrity Auto.  It is dead ahead on the right.




Id didn't realize when I took the photo but my car is in view on the left behind the tree.  Integrity was not able to diagnose the scrapping problem.  All they said was that I should replace y back breaks for 425$.  Not sure if I'm too hip on that.  I might see someone else for a second opinion.


A little fender bender out side of work.  The four cars ahead are probably waiting for the police.



The Twilight Zone.
