KunstlerCast 243 — Summer Break Special

JHK and his friend Richie drop in on the Washington County (NY) fair for an extravaganza of cows, oxen, weird fried food, scary rides, and chats with farmers, tractor collectors, teenagers, and other civilians. 
The KunstlerCast music is “Adam and Ali’s Waltz” from the recording Waiting to Fly by Mike and Ali Vass.

    NEAT-O!!! The COUNTY FAIR!!! We get to meet Richie!!!

    My friends around the corner have 3 caged chickens and they have eggs coming out their ears. The good thing about the breed is their eggs are great for baking! Every hen should come with a cook book. Practice your souffles.

    After all the heavy stuff on here it’s nice to get out and play. You’re never too old to play. You can be too scared to play.

    Oh my God! This was hilarious. I thought you were being sarcastic at first when you mentioned the deep-fried Kool-aid, but it turns out you were being serious. Richie was great, too. You guys make a great dynamic duo. Thanks. It made me smile. You have quite a sense of humor.
