just like Wild Bill Hickock

---------------------

Today, we traveled to the U. P. State Fair in Escanaba, MI.  There was a brief rain shower after we arrived, but the rest of the afternoon was dry and pleasant.  We indulged in cotton candy, corn dogs, fried rice, salt water taffy, and various other food treats.  We all enjoyed visiting the livestock barns and the kids enjoyed the rides.

New Slide Show!

"Look at me!  I got a Harley!  I'm a two-wheeled cowboy riding...
just like Wild Bill Hickok in the Old West!"

Even Heartbreaker has made concessions to modernity: he works 60 hours a week as a union tradesman outside Austin, Texas, and carries a cellphone.
