As we coast into the final stretch of summer, it's time to load up on everything with sugar, salt, or deep fried. There's no such thing as watching carbs, or worrying about your elephant ear being made with Splenda. In recent years, I've tried really hard to avoid these types of events because when you walk through the front gate, you take your life into your own hands in more ways than one. Within the past several weeks there's been trouble on the midway. It only took a loose pin on a poorly constructed ride to do the damage as the ride came loose and fell on the ground. Now, I never was much of a carnival ride person. 99% of those guys are low life trolls supporting a a cocaine or heroin habit. It's really quite easy to avoid hopping on a rusty, rickety ride, but the real problem lies within the punks that think it's cool to hang out the carnival and look like bad asses. These kids loiter and pollute the place and intimidate the families that are looking for a fun night out. Back in the day, you could walk around the park with empty pockets and nobody would give you trouble, unless YOU started it. Then they would kick you out. Those days are long gone noe because the gang bangers have managed to scare the crap out of the people running the show. The one thing that has hasn't changed are the cheezy groups from the 1970's who play these gigs. R,E,O, Speedwagon is coming to town again, and the last time I saw them I hopped the fence down in Southern Illinois. I also saw them in Lansing about 15 years ago where I hopped the fence too. This time around? Nope. Too many thugs. I'll stick to Disney. THAT'S the way I see it!
