Recently, we trouped off to Simcoe, Ontario to visit the Norfolk County Fall Fair and Horse Show, which is probably the best fall fair in Ontario and one of the last as the fair season winds down on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Once dusk had set in, we headed over to the midway area to shoot the wild colour scenes such as this game which was based on wacking a large button on the counter. The young ladies were seemingly enjoying themselves, possibly having more to do with the attendant than the game. - JW

HBW!
As a result of the disappointing news that our move to Texas is off, Jean and I decided some retail therapy might deflate the funk. So...
We bought a hot tub!
It's being delivered on Friday. In the meantime, we had to prepare a space for it. One of our neighbors owns a landscape company and he found a way to fit us in this week.
I'm pretty sure these guys thought I was weird. But, I'm okay with that.
