the fair and mostly cloudy

Twin Cities small talk every year as we get deep into August:  "So are you going to go to the Fair this year?"  The Minnesota State Fair is what they're referring to, and this year, instead of hemming and hawing, I can tell them I've already been.  Jerry and I got up early this morning and spent the mostly warm and cloudy day on the Fairgrounds.  Our advice to you if you're looking for junk food advice: skip the deep-fried Twinkies and go the the Lunch Box stand next to the DFL building and have an outstanding cinnamon roll.
