The Queue: What a ride!
After ten days, the local fair has moved on. What a wild ride it’s been! Over those ten days, my favorite person and I have eaten some weird food, been too cold because we misjudged the weather, ridden a bunch of rides, seen some huge concerts, some smaller concerts, robotics competitions, superdogs, local wrestling, and even hopped on a mechanical bull. A nap might be in order, but then I could do another ten days, easy.
Best food so far? The Ube bun hamburger from the Filipino food truck. Best ride? The Mach 3 that spun me around so very high up in the sky. Best concert? Tom Morello, although July Talk was pretty cool, too. Best free promotional thing at the fair? Nerds kept giving out free packs of Gummy Clusters, and now I have eaten my weight in them.
While I try to get my brain out of fair mode, it’s time for — The Queue.

The Queue: Feels So Bad
Sad note to start the queue on, but rest in peace Chuck Mangione. If you’re a member of an older generation and/or you were a King of the Hill fan you’ve probably heard “Feels So Good” a dozen (or a thousand) times but you owe it to yourself to listen to the full version. What a fantastic career and he’ll be sorely missed.
Many thanks to Red for holding down the fort while I was gone; I apologize if you’ve gotten used to him being your Friday queue writer but we’re back to alternating every week. At least until I take another break. But it hasn’t happened yet so let’s answer some questions!
