As a humourist I often find humour in things too often....OK...all the time. While in Safeway today I saw a tabloid featuring Al Gore and his current scandal and the police reopening it blah blah blah. It was then that it hit me why he is such a big proponent of Global warming (regardless of the science one way or the other). Apparently his personal life has been hot and steamy...and his former boss's life was hot and steamy that why wouldn't he think the whole world was warming up. The boy was suffering from personal global warming.
On the show report:
The plan was for Miles an Nick to start walking over to our hotel from the RV at the Fair around 9:30 and I would drive out and meet them along the way. At 8 AM I was wakened by Miles' voice. He and Nick decided to do the trek at 7. To their surprise the town was a little larger than they remembered while driving. Both are athletic and fit. They ate b-fast then took the little ones into the pool as I struggled to get up then do two loads of laundry.
Mami and I went to Safeway and Walmart for supplies and food. At Safeway we discovered that if you want to use a cart you have to push a quarter into a slot on the handle. That releases a chain that holds the cart to the next cart. When you are down you reconnect the chain and your coin comes out.
Sorry no pictures today.
We got to the fairgrounds by noon and did a tasting for video blog. A couple of days ago we tasted a turkey-salami kinda sausage thing. Today we tried pickled herring wrapped around a pickle spear and three different flavor of potatoes chips. The brand Dutch something or other is pretty much a Saskatchewan favorite. The flavors were..ketchup, bacon and a really strong dill. You will have to wait for the video in a week or so to see how it came out.
At 12:30 the local paper (the Prairie Post) interviewed us and took a ton of pictures during the show. It will appear a week from today. It will be online as well. He took a lot of notes and recordings and pictures.
Our first show was at 2 and went well with a modest sized crowd. The skies had grown dark around 1:30 and the clouds opened up and let loose. That kept people away from the fair until later in the day. Still it was cold today so numbers were low. In spite of that we had good sized crowds.
Our impaled illusions (where Cynthia is impaled on a spike...very visual)...has been going very well. We paid a ton of money a few years ago for it and had to do a lot of alterations and improvements and trials to make it show worthy. It gets fantastic gasps.
Tomorrow we finish the shows at around 7pm and we load up then take off for the boarder. We will go 200 miles and pull into an RV park in Canada around 1am. We were blessed in that the park had no spots open but one spot, which has a trailer on it, could squeeze our RV on. The owner of the trailer is away due to a family emergency. That worked out for our good. PTL
We will cross into America on July 3rd and then continue on our nearly 1800 miles drive to London, KY in two days. We start on July 6. Keep us in your prayers. The RV "service engine light" relating to the Egr or O2 sensors (usually) is still on, even after the 3 8 hour drive cycles it takes to clear computer errors. If all works out we will make it to London and have it checked there.
This will be that last entry until we are in London. I might be able to sneak one or two short reports via the smart phone but that will have to wait and seen.
Shout out to my folks, Mami's fmaily and JC and Clydean.
Cheers and God Bless
