Mother Nature Hates Me
It’s bad enough she decides to put a magnifying glass focusing the sun’s rays onto Madison for the past two years at IM Wisconsin, yesterday she was bored and decided to throw hail instead. BIG, FAT CHUNKS of baseball sized hail.
I was driving home on the highway when it happened and there really wasn’t any place to seek shelter. It only lasted a few minutes, but it was enough to do some decent damage. The picture doesn’t show it very well, but I basically have a bunch of little dents all over my vehicle now. The insurance is covering the damage, minus my deductible of course. Still, it totally sucks to have to pay an out of pocket deductible and nothing to show for it different than I already had that morning. Bleh.
To answer Mojo’s question… Yes! They have all sorts of deep fried goodness at the state fair. For sure they have deep fried candy bars, although I don’t know about the Twinkies? I’ve already compiled the list of what I want to eat for tomorrow. And that’s only a list of stuff I remember off the top of my head from last year:
- Cheese Curds
- Pork Chop on a Stick
- 3 ft. Long Spicy Beef Stick
- Deep Fried Turkey Sandwich
- French Fries with Cheese and Ranch Dressing
- Foot Long Hot Dog
- Pronto Pups
- Elephant Ears
And whatever I happen to walk by that looks appetizing. The above list is just the necessities, though. I’ve eaten pretty darn well for almost two months straight now. I deserve a little break, don’t you think? Not even my five hour workout is going to be enough to keep me in the caloric red tomorrow.
I love the State Fair. It truly is the only thing I look forward to in Minnesota each year.
