You need to come up to our Sonoma County fair in Snata Rosa Book!
Once you pass Petaluma you can hear an audible *pop* as you break free of the Marin bubble and enter back into a land we like to call…
…America.

They didn’t spell it right. It isn’t East Jerusalem, it is East Asia.

>>I do so miss the 4-H kids with their animals.>>

Our fair is in August. The few kids we have with sheep have started walking them already. It’s interesting – our fairgrounds were donated for that purpose – on condition that there must be a livestock show for 4-H and FFA. There has been talk of selling the land or redeveloping it for more “income intensive” activities…but there’s that livestock clause…!

And I have a couple of stray hens setting on eggs – it looks like at least one has hatched between yesterday and today. Right on schedule! She started setting on Flag day, and hatched the first one on July 4th! Must be a patriotic hen!! Don’t know exactly what I’m going to do with them – I don’t know diddely about chickens except how to cook them!

There…make you feel better??

There used to be a decent county fair where I grew up. I remember it very fondly. Unfortunately, the county fair is no more. Actually, it is somewhat fortunate as the last few years, before the county fair went kaput, the booths had all become “junk.” Selling things like aluminium siding were the least “offensive.” Too many people felt that they had the “right” (and went to court to prove it) to display their “message” for all to see. I mean, come on, I don’t care what your political viewpoint is, the county fair is no place to display pictures of aborted babies! Nor is it the place to yell about “coat hanger abortions” while families with their kids walk by.

So, not meaning to minimize your post, Book; but, if the multiple trash bins and funky “country” labels are the only thing “wrong” with the Marin County Fair, then it isn’t too bad . . yet.

However, I do so miss the 4-H kids with their animals. They were the best part of the fair.

Fellas, you both did a fine job of breaking down the joke and I’ll only add that the Rabbi felt compelled, out of habit, to embellish Buster’s life by stretching the truth with non-existent anecdotes.

BTW… It should have been Yo, I am from Brooklyn. Sarah was playing to one of the boroughs, which are as far removed from NYC as is the heartland.
