I haven't been the fair in years also. I never caught Game of Thrones. I'd watch it if they'd make it easier to catch up on the seasons. But they don't. So I haven't.

Mrs. Wonky and friend went early. The bus that was supposed to go from the Mall to the fairgrounds didn't show. (They drove, parked, and walked). Several of the things that were supposed to be open by 11:30 were not. However, they did eat a corn dog and other junk food (Mrs. Wonky does not eat lots of stuff like that) so they enjoyed that. 
She was home by 1:30PM. Tuckered out, she is napping. 
She is unsure about next year. I'm not. 

I'll give up Game of Thrones for a new season of Better Call Saul! 

By the way, read Dennis LeHanes's new book, "Since We Fell" and enjoyed it. His first attempt at writing a female character as his protagonist. I think he got most of it right. Mind candy, but I need some of that. Prior to that read Mark Bowden's "HUE 1968." Bloody telling of a house to house, street to street battle and while I'm glad I read it I don't want to read anything like it for awhile. I think I'm in the mood for another Carl Haasian book. "Bad Monkey" was fun...but I find most of his stuff fun.

I think you are a Netflixer. I don't do them. But somehow you need to binge watch all the old episodes to get up to speed. As if you didn't know. Razz

It's a great mini series but some of it isn't. There are several story lines most about each kingdom. Some are excellent and some, like the Dragon lady can be pretty lame.
Don't start liking anyone because they will get killed. And don't get used to hating a villain because later he may be a hero.

I have not watched GoT... But, like Wonky, I look forward to more Better Call Saul.
As for fair going... Hadn't been in ages... 8-10 years or so. We did go to the Linn Co Fair last Thursday night to see Journey; an awesome show! We ended up staying until they closed.
Also saw Pablo Cruise a couple of weeks ago at music in the park... another fun show.

Wow! Journey still around? Must be the grandkids on stage now. And Pablo Cruise is no spring chicken either. How they survived San Francisco in the 70's is a miracle. Proof the drugs, sex and rock&roll are good for you.

I too have streaming Netflix. I'm thinking of giving it up and going back to one CD disc at a time. Streaming has LOTS of content, and I seldom find stuff I like. I've been though all the documentaries I like (Far too many of them are about Hitler) and while I thought "House of Cards" was good the first three seasons I tired of it. But in all fairness to them, maybe I just don't enough attention and miss the good stuff. 
I also have Amazon Prime Video...about the same as Netflix, different shows but basically "more of the same". 
And damned if I'm going to pay for HULU...I am paying about a million dollars a month now for stuff I seldom watch. Let's see...how do you spell F O O L ?  Embarrassed

I would definitely like to see better quality posts and debate, that's for sure.

Well, that's not gonna happen.  Last night we have a great poster, a woman I think, advocating and glorifying murder and terrorism of the vehicle murder in Virginia yesterday.  The right wing cronies joined in with her. When others demurred or opposed they were quickly shouted down.  I can't believe who is allowed to continue in that place and who gets 86'd.  Anyone with a strong enough voice and spirit to honestly debate and call out these guys on their own words and actions is seen to the door and  unceremoniously tossed out. Might as well rename the place:  RogueValleyAltWhiteMeetUp.  It pops up on my feed all the time, but honestly I'm participating to a fractional degree. That's not discussion going on in there.  It's drums, and tiki torches.

What's amazing Argon, is that you still are associated with it in your capacity. It's really a pretty awful place. It promotes hatred and intolerance and  has very little to do with the Scanner page that it was an off shoot of.

The site is Nextdoor.com FYI.

 Yeah I knew that sounded funny when I typed it. But I did use the right term earlier and when I got to the part where they wanted all my info I stopped.

Still not really sure what makes Nextdoor so great or any better than a local site. For instance Nextdoor vs WestMedfordGroup on FB? Unless you don't use FB, then it's something.
