The carnival was alright. I was helping to sell game & food tickets so the time went by fast. A little girl said "You’re pretty" which I thought was sweet. There were tents and the games and food machines needed to be set up. Karl gave me a ride and helped with that. Then he went to spend time with his daughter.

After a few hours the sun was getting to me. So I went inside for a burger. Burgers were $1.00 hotdogs fifty cents, snowcones, popcorn and cotton cany was 10 cents. I had to stand in line for almost 30 minutes to get the cotton candy though. A girl was in line of ahead of me. She appeared to have a slight cleft lip. She was with a boy who had one of those sticky hands. The ones you can make stick to the wall and other things. They were playing with it by hitting each other in the face with the hand. I found it rather annoying. At one point the girl said to the boy "What is cotton candy made of, bird poop?" I couldn’t tell  if she was serious about that or not.

Speaking of bird poop karl found out that pigeons built a nest under his barbecue. I told him that they can carry diseases. He was going to buy wild bird food for them. But I told him if he does that he will likely have droves of pigeons there. He is going to let them stay until the babies are out of the nest.

After the carnival I felt tired from being in the sun for so long. I wanted a slurpee with ice cream. We went to one Macs store and the syrup was gone from most of the flavors.So we went to another place where they don’t have vanilla ice cream for some reason. So I chose the coffee & cream with coke and a bit of orange. At the store this lady was saying to Karl she knew him. She was there with her boyfriend and kids. After Karl told me she was an old neighbor who used to be a hooker.

At the first store just before I was getting out of the car a crow swooped down all of a sudden. If I had been standing it would have landed on my head. The guy in the car beside us was watching. He started to laugh but looked as though he was holding back. I think he wanted to laugh at me. For anyone who hasn’t heard of Pizza Pops here is a commercial for them.
