Palmer is a two-night stand. My GFI circuit, which most importantly powers the refrigerator, is out, possibly because of yesterday’s rain. I waste a lot of time working
on it and finally use an extension cord to connect my refrigerator to an
alternative circuit. If worse comes to
worse, the refrigerator can also work off propane.
We go the state fair with Mike and Jane
but accidentally get there an hour-and-a-half early and have to kill time with
our 2nd breakfast of the day at a coffee shop across the street.
The fair itself differs from the
California State Fair mainly in the commercial exhibits. Here, there is a lot of
emphasis on quad ATVs, fishing boats, log trimming machines, and other such
things big in Alaska. Not much
on farm animals, but an interesting area where farms are competing on how big
they can grow produce such as rutabaga, lettuce, radishes, etc. I expect the food vendor choices to be worse
that in California but there are some extremely tasty selections – Marcia has a
salmon quesadilla, and I have a Reuben sandwich without the sauerkraut. We have a good time.
