We missed you hissed the lovecats
Oh, plans. I make them with such optimistic fervor. I work out everything just so in my head and then I wake up and it's all like, ha ha what?
So I got up and Mara got home from her last day of class and drove me to my operations meeting at Savers, which was mostly cancelled because they fired a supervisor and were understaffed so I just picked up my paycheck and left. Then she drove me to the state fair. Actually we kind of drove everywhere but the fair for quite a long time. Honestly, this thing is enormous, how is it so well hidden? Anyway we finally found it and she dropped me off and I narrowly avoided being run down by a wild pack of unicyclists (I guess I accidently wandered in front of the tail end of the parade or something) before finding the friends I was meeting there. Then I ate a deep fried candy bar on a stick (diagnosis: delicious) and rode the MAGNUM.
Oh, the MAGNUM. It was a pretty generic ride but they were very obviously trying to opt for an off-brand Magnum PI design scheme, complete with badly airbrushed Tom Selleck mural along the back. What could I do but ride it? I mean, you find a Magnum PI ride at the fair, you ride it. It's almost compulsory. It's the mustache, I think. When a mustache like that tells you to sit in a chair and be spun in five different directions at once, by golly you do as you're told. Even if it's badly airbrushed.
That was pretty much the extent of my state fair adventure. I dunno, I don't really get it. It's like the county fair, just kind of bigger and more expensive. Woooooo.
Then we all drove to Rochester. Without stopping off at my apartment like I had Planned.
And that's the story of how I would up here at home with a dollar in my pocket and not so much as a change of socks.
