I hope things settle down soon too, John! I wasn't prepared for how empty the city would be. Granted, it's off-peak tourist season but, if I were to guess, the crowds were about 1/10th of what they were

Thanks for the update and tagging me! Lizelle will definitely be in my prayers. I wish I could get a copy of my new book to her.

That's so strange! I wonder if they serve corn grown further south?

Thanks, she really enjoys them.

It was so much sweeter this year that I remember it. I guess the farmer that's been supplying the fair for years just passed so I'm not sure if it'll be the same next year. Hopefully one of his children

Thanks! I'm really happy with how clean the design is.

Thank you for that idea, Zeke! I'll try that.

Most states in the U.S. have fairs around this time. Some counties do too. Believe it or not this is a light crowd for our fair! During crowded days you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with about 150k other people.

Great to know, thanks! This is what I'm aiming for. Roeland helped me with this:

It was my first time there and coming from a place that already had snow on the ground kind of altered my perception of what it would be like. : ) I was forced to be outside during the peak heat on the

I think you're right. This couple who owns the business probably just identified an opportunity to sell something unique to Americans. I think he's American and she's Ukrainian. They've been at our fair

True what you say about time! If you read the book I hope you enjoy it.

You're absolutely going to love Austin. There are a few ranches scattered even around the airport filled with longhorn cattle. They probably won't be there much longer though as quickly as that area is

It's so easy for all of those subscriptions to add up and I'm always so hesitant to add another one. I think here in the US the average person is paying for 3+ subscriptions just for TV alone. Pretty soon

It makes you wonder where it will all end. All this stock market growth doesn't mean much to the average person if the cost of living keeps rising so much and so quickly. I think I am going to explore

Same here. You never find yourself without something to do, that's for sure!

True! A person can always make more money but you can't get the time back.

Es muy importante tratar ese aspecto de la escritura como un negocio. Tengo que recordármelo constantemente. ¡Las listas de correo son valiosísimas! Las plataformas van y vienen con tanta frecuencia que

Thank you John!
