1. Wish Hunter was still alive to document the fear and loathing at Republican Day this year.

   Wondering if “Bob Hopeless” will make a comeback appearance as MC.

2. We were at the parade Thursday night with the grandkids, and again on Friday. Did way too much walking since there are no trams this year.

   Heading back out today, but just the two of us,bo grandkids.

3. I see you have moved the byline on each post to the top, that will make it easier for readers to see when Isabel has posted a story - nice touch.

4. Anyone know why there aren’t State Fair Trams this year? Continued pandemic effect, contract not renewed or vendor didn’t return, or another reason why?

   And Rich, the logo is in accordance with your opulence. We’re proud of your nieces and nephews too.

7. You’ve got some very talented nieces. Haven’t seen your nephews’ work, but I’m betting they are, too.

8. == Anyone know why there aren’t State Fair Trams this year? ==

   I got the whole long story from someone involved in it.

   The shorter version is the State was initially unsure about running them, and by the time they decided to do so in mid-July, the NFP’s that normally staff it were unable to come up with enough people because they all made other plans when the State initially said they weren’t going to have them.

10. It’s super cool and impressive, and really works with the Fair.

    You have very talented nieces, that’s for sure.
