State Fair Day #2

Had a date at the state fair today, used up the $17.50 of state fair bucks from the company outing last week. Liked getting pork chop on a stick of course, found out Amy K, the senator, likes it as well. It was mentioned in a TV interview we saw at WCCO. Also picked up some John Deere popcorn and a can of black pepper Spam. We also found all of the 13 real estate signs in the history walking tour, got a voucher for 2-for-1 tickets at a historic site. After a day at the fair I left her there so she could attend the Toby Keith concert at the grandstand, I went on to a comedy club. Liked meeting a family on the bus on the way back. When I spoke of the Charlie Brown statue search he said his ex-wife was part of the effort to get sponsors.
    Heard a song on my car radio today that I liked, 'Use Your Love' by the Outfield. The guitar intro is great, once of the best I've ever heard besides 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' by Yes.
    Besides the fair, we did get more statue pictures for the Charlie Brown and Snoopy project. We are now over 100, at 104 if I'm not mistaken, since we found 14 today. Five of these were at the fair, the other 9 were at offices open 'banker's hours' so this was the best day available to find them. We aren't out of ideas just yet, which feels good. Since we went to the fair after those offices, we reached the century mark at the fair. Also got tickets for a St. Paul Saints playoff game on Sunday, game 4 if necessary. But the only way it isn't played, when a best of five series, is if there is a sweep. So the odds are fairly high that it will be played, but must check the news to find out.
