It seems that the Texas State Fair hates us. Or something along those lines. The past TWO years, we've gotten free tickets to the State Fair and thought to ourselves, "Hey. We should go."
It's not meant to be. Seriously.
Last year, on our way to the fair, we stopped off at a student's house to take dinner to their family. They had cats. Lots of them. My husband is VERY allergic to cats and so he started strongly reacting to them in the car and we had to turn around before he died.
This year, our headlights decided to just stop working as we were driving down to the fair. No lights. Dark outside. Having to drive with the brights on in order to see. You get the picture. So we turned around, before we died because no one could see us on the road. I'm not even joking.
And I just wonder, why? Are using free tickets just to get an elephant ear and a funnel cake that bad of a thing? [sigh] I was really looking forward to some greasy food.

One comment though about Texans and their State Fair. I do believe they truly think their state fair is better and original -- like no other state's fair is anything like theirs. I hate to burst their bubble, but EVERY state fair has fried food. EVERY state fair has contests to see what new thing they can fry up. EVERY state fair.
People here act like it's such a novelty -- "Have you been to the State Fair yet? It's SO great! They have such crazy food, like Fried Oreos and Twinkies. One year they even had Fried Pickles!!" [wow. a-mazing] Really, folks, you aren't all that different from the rest of the country.

I'm sorry y'all weren't able to go this year, but thank you for passing along your tickets. A funny side note, they had fried coke advertised. I can't even picture that. Oh, and just so you know and aren't completely disappointed (like me) if you are able to go in future years. NO ONE (that I have found) around here knows what an elephant ear is. None at the fair. AT. ALL. SADNESS. Funnel cake is not the same, much to my disappointment. Proof that Indiana is superior...
