We went to the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe on Friday. If you have ever been to the fair, well there you are. Nothing is really different.

As expected, everything was overpriced. (Nine bucks for an elephant ear!! Are they using real elephants??)

We did enjoy visiting the critters and the various judged exhibits. I got a BLT from the everything bacon joint but got my Pepsi elsewhere, because I don’t care for bacon-flavored soda. Fortunately, it was not anywhere near the swine exhibits; and the wind wasn’t blowing that way.

For me, the highlight was the corn on the cob. I wonder if they have some secret farm mom recipe for preparing it? I was tempted to have two!

It was a pleasant day, and we got a great deal on an 8 person Jacuzzi spa. Tall cowboy guy tipped me off.

■ HOW DO DOGS TELL TIME- Our dog has a huge appetite, the vet advised us to give him a mid-day treat of frozen vegetables, which we do at 2:30- Now the dog pokes me with his nose PRECISELY at 2:30 every day. It makes me wonder what other things he can perceive that I cannot.?
■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?
■ I WAS on YT and ran across an outfit called "TypingDNA" - Serious big brother stuff here! Here is what it does. "By continuously authenticating your workers’ identities by the way they type on their devices, ActiveLock mitigates threats that arise with remote work such as fraud, device sharing, and unattended devices — giving you peace of mind that only trusted users are accessing your company’s computers."
GEEZE LOUISE I am SO GLAD that I am retired, discarded from the rat race back when rats stood a chance of winning.
■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
