Farm Show

I feel lost without my camera which I left at the in-laws. I can make a blog entry so much better if I add pictures. But alas, I can't do that today, so bear with me.

I can, however, direct you to the Pennsylvania Cable Network to check out some views from the PA Farm Show. They have 24/7 airing of (mostly) boring shots of the food, crafts, people, and judging of exhibitors. Sometimes (infrequently) they know what they're talking about. Yet, for some reason I still watch it....go figure.

Zach and I visited the farm show on Saturday. We both love the rodeo, but for different reasons. For me, it's the thrill of seeing the animals get a chance to get back at the humans for keeping them caged up and riding on their backs. But that's just my opinion...

Anyway, this year's high school rodeo participants went pretty much unscathed except for one kid who missed his calf in the calf-roping and proceeded to run his horse toward the end of the arena at which point it promptly put on its breaks and the kid flew off the horse and straight into the metal gates. The kid dropped like a fly, but got right back up. He was just a couple inches from knocking his head. It was quite incredible. He looked like one of the crash test dummies.

Anyway, it was fun. It's a day out that we both agree not to worry about what we eat. Which means it's perfectly fine to have a baked potato, potato donuts and a milkshake in the same meal! Love it!
