AFter Bugaboo and I had our talk, we checked out the Atascadero Fair in scorching heat. Like I seriously thought my skin was gonna burn right off--it was ridiculous! We walked around, checked out the crowd, and saw the reason for all the obesity we were surrounded by: DEEP FRIED TWINKIES and OREOS. gross.

We sat around and tried our best to avoid getting called on by Chaka-guitar lady for a bit. Then we walked into the Rodeo Show! YeeHaw! My very first rodeo ever! I was impressed from being impressed. We watched cowboys and cowgirls round up the herd with their lassos, contest after contest, until the grand finale: bullriding! Holycow I tell you! I learned what the true meaning of bucking was! Yup, new found respect for bullriders. I wouldnt be surprised though if this becomes the new form of sterilization used when the world runs out of latex.
