Change of SZNs observations:

- Lower Level at Sea will probably hate this, but the last couple of weeks of school through graduation and then into June is the busiest time of the year for this public educator.

If you want a list of all the things that I've done over the last fortnight-plus, I can run that down for you, but I'll save it for now.

- Nothing in America screams whiteness more than a Mich Ultra. Pair it with travel baseball and it's a veritable blizzard! *no judgement from me

- Here in South Central, we have been invaded by an irritating species that many people have never seen. Yes, I am talking about . . . ARMADILLOS. I have seen more 'dillo roadkill than possums or skunks and it's a little alarming because I've lived here all my life and I've never seen them until this year. Probably Global Climate Change or something.

- Speaking of SZNs, it's County Fair Time across many rural counties throughout the south! In honor of all the carnies out there, here's my Top 5 carnival rides:

5. The Bullet - The one that looks like egg beaters. It was the first ride that sent me upside down.
4. The Himalaya - This thing probably had many names. Essentially a bunch of coaster cars connected together to go around on a bumpy loop with a "DJ" playing loud pop music and shouting out "Who wants to go faaasssterrrrr?!?!?"
3. The Octopus/Spider - You had to get your mind right, or you would wind up sick on this thing.
2. The Zipper - Fun ride if operational. Guarantee it never passed inspection and you were risking your life on every trip around. Sounded like that thing would fly apart at any second.
1. The Scrambler - The undisputed GOAT of all small time carnival midways.

* I have many county fair stories thanks to my little bro, catchaser, but I'll spare you from them . . . for now.

- No band in history has aged worse than Guns 'N Roses. Even their old studio albums are underwhelming now when I listen back. If you've heard any of their live work from the last few years . . . ugh. Have some dignity and hang it up, Axl.

- There seems to be a resurgence in designer perfumes and colognes among teens and young adults. It's probably to mask the vape/THC smells, but kids are carrying bottles around in their backpacks these days.

- Related, Jack Black looks like he smells like wet socks and dried sweat.

Thunder in 5. Love watching the Pacers play, they just aren't physical enough.

Going to throw Crudo 15-1 (Bobby Flay's horse / Pletcher trained) in my mostly chalk exact box / tri tickets. May also add Rodriguez (6-1).

I live on Crosswinds golf course and haven't played a single round this year. But not from lack of temptation. I have on a couple of occasions taken a 8 iron and putter across the fence and played the par 3 a few different times late in the evening. Sue me.

Underrated sporting event here in BG that is a lot of fun - A big drag racing event. Go to Beech Bend Raceway, watch some really fast cars, then at night go to local spots and see some really nice street legal cars / hotrods.

Upper 80's the last few days, here comes the rain again. Enjoying all the evening pool time I can squeeze in. Made some "Bullfrog" drinks this past weekend, nice little throw back drink that sneaks up on you.

Add the Tilt A World and Roundup to good fair rides Strokin listed.

I'm going to regret this, I know it, but I don't think LLS has a problem with teachers, just district level admins and school boards.

/one off, won't mention it again or respond.
Bingo! Teachers are getting their money taken that could be used for supplies/better pay/better benefits by district admins out of control spending on trips, outings, and restaurants. I definitely support the teachers.

- The Tilt-A-Whirl and Gravitron both ruined the rest of my day. Made the fatal mistake of looking straight on the Gravitron/RoTor (what it was called when I got on it). Never spewed, but was nauseous for about 2 hours.

- Our county fair had real life pony rides for a merry-go-round one year. I don't know if catchaser still lurks or not, but he's got a great story regarding that I can put in next week's post if he doesn't drop in by then.

Going to the Russell County fair this weekend (weather pending) my kids will ride approximately 500 laps on the Orient Express Dragon Coaster.

Pork Chop Sandwich
Foot Long Corn Dog
Spiral Potato with Cheese
Bloomin Onion
Some sort of pastry or candy bar dipped in funnel cake batter and fried

If you think moles are destructive to a yard just wait until you get a dose of Armadillos.

Jack Black and Kevin Hart are both non-funny idiots who rely on either being fat or short as their intriguing calling card…

Horatio Sanz levels on unfunny.
Cannot like this enough. Katt Williams has a crazy take on Hart. Said industry plant. Was not really successful, never saw him anywhere and then boom, he’s everywhere. Whatever that means. Still not funny. And screw Jack Black’s music career.

Pork chop sammy is the GOAT of every fair.

Not even close, really.

Felt like I was in the minority but I told anyone who asked me that I thought Sovereignty was better than Journalism. That form held.

In all honesty, Sovereignty probably improved off his Derby effort. Impressive talents, both Journalism and Sov.
