How was the domino exhibit? I was trying to get wifey to go, but her feet were too tired at 6pm to make the extra 50 or so yards. We got as far as the Lottery thing and cycled $12 into over $50 while she sat and relaxed, blew it all and then headed for the car.

My bride and I went to the fair today.

As usual the person wielding the wand had no idea how to do it properly, when she wanded my wife, she got the wand close enough to my fanny pack to make it beep, and then she waved my wife through.

She then wanded me and did not get close enough to my fanny pack to beep on the gun, she got a feeble beep from my knife and keys, and waved me through while I displayed my CHL to her.

When she finally focused enough to realize what was in my hand, she just asked me to "show that to the officer" and just waved in the general direction of inside the fair.

The only officer I could find was on her cell phone and couldn't be bothered, so my honey and I spent a relaxed six plus hours wandering around enjoying ourselves.

And I don't feel one bit guilty.

I did note that the Texas Hall of State had a non-compliant sign posted, but I ignored it and went on in. Inside we perused the Texas history exhibit, which was very interesting, with the exception of the replica Spencer Repeater on display as if it was an original.

I also got a kick out of the Fried Grilled Cheese stand having a blue TABC sign.
