2. Made me remember the Bubble Man at Oregon Country Fair

Anyone ever been there and seen his show? He can do things with bubbles that are unbelievable; like square bubbles. No shit.

For that matter who has been to the Oregon Country Fair? A blast from the past.

15. I missed the bubble man. Was probably too distracted by the naked silver people

So distracted that I didn’t notice when our youngest tumbled out of the wagon. We did notice eventually that we were minus one kid.

It’s a great place to go. Always wanted to hang around for the evenings.

12. Smoky Mountains minus twenty degrees

Many years ago, there was a cold storm in the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. The temperature was to get twenty below zero. I wanted to experience that temperature, and drove to the pass at the mountain crest near Clingmans Dome. As I was arriving at the Newfound Gap overlook, another car was leaving. The air was frightful, almost painful to breath, but no wind. I spit to see it freeze before hitting the ground. I walked to the fence by where the other car had been parked. There on the top of the stone rail were several small brownish transparent bubbles. They looked odd, and I poked at one with my gloved finger. It broke and fell down, and smelled real bad like crap. I then realized that the bubbles were frozen farts.

24. I read somewhere recently...

that Crayola makes a bubble mixture that comes in colors and if you freeze them outside they're gorgeous. I must look this up to see where I can buy some if that's true.
