The OC Fair

Went to the Orange County Fair today. It’s really funny, or maybe quite sad, because I think there were probably more farm animals at the fair than survive in the rest of Orange County. This used to be an agricultural treasure, but it’s really changed. I just read in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago that one small, vestigial, dare I say derelict, orange grove in Santa Ana will be plowed under soon to make way for even more crappy houses. I used to take my lunch near the trees. I hope the new property owners won’t mind if I eat tuna sandwiches on their new Astroturf front lawns.

I did like the pig, and the piglets reminded me of my Beagle.
