Part of my pre-state fair ritual is taking my piggy banks downtown to have the money turned into a more portable medium. Since the last state fair when ever I have some coins in my pocket they are deposited into one of the banks - one for pennies and one for nickles,dimes, and quarters. Of course I'm collecting the national parks commemoratives so those quarters go into the coin rolls in the collection. Plus we all use credit cards for more purchases than we once did which means less real money passing hands. Anyway I had saved $79.06. Thirty some years ago when I first started this custom I'd have almost $200 to spend on the fair. Doesn't really matter. I also use a credit card more often at the fair now too.

It's that time of year again. Always seems to be some new foods to try at the fair. Will you get another piece of furniture for the deck?
