Storm Clouds of the Deep South

Fair Setup

My new book, Storm Clouds of the Deep South, will be a fascinating retrospective of the amazing storm clouds which always seem to be gathering around here.

Fair Setup

Ok, just kidding. Fair Setup continued all day today with the setup of the rides. Later in the afternoon this storm started blowing in.

These guys were taking it in stride; they really enjoy this setup business.

They were also probably enjoying the cooler air which was flowing down from the tops of the storm.

I’m always amazed by cloud formations. I’m also amazed at the ride setup, but look at those clouds!

Fair Setup

I know I’ll be riding the Ferris Wheel all weekend long. (Actually, and to be honest, it would break. My car would plummet down mercilessly from the heights as those below me cursed my ongoing diet.)

Fair Setup

Fair Setup is an interesting process, everything has to be leveled out, and tested over and over again.

Which is certainly a good thing of course.

The great news is that all of this is just a front: the weather will be cool and clear for the fair this weekend.

Should be a great time!
