This is where Meryl was on Saturday night:
I’ll bet you thought from the headline this was a political post. Nope. I was at the Amelia County Fair, which featured a Demolition Derby tonight. This is the picture of the end of the derby.
It was awesome.
I have had great times at county and state fairs before, but nothing like this. The Amelia County State Fair has just gone on our must-go list. Sarah and Larry and the kids and I had an absolute blast.
More pictures, and video, if I have time to post them tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll find time during my downtime next week. (Vacation time for me. Can’t wait.)
Years ago I went to the Montgomery County (MD) fair, they also had a demolition derby. They’re fun.

Leaving the parking lot afterward is tricky, you periodically get filled the urgent need to grind some metal.

Yeah, I felt the same way… I wanted to bash my way out of my parking space. But I think Sarah’s really caught the bug. Let us know if anyone in the central VA area finds an old, beat-up muscle car for sale for like, $500. Manual transmission. Next year is rookie year.

A few weeks back we went to see the demolition derby at the Will County Fair-Will is next to Crook-er Cook County. Once you get out of Chicago and its evil satellites-one of which I live in-Illinois is actually a is a lot of fun.
I was at the Chicago 912 rally yesterday. There were only about 800 of us and were ignored by the press but boy did we make a lot of noise!
