The Art of Negotiation

For anyone and everyone, finding peace and quiet in this tumultuous world can be difficult.

And, for the cute little girl who was sitting on the ledge, content and happy, her time of peace and quiet was invaded by the loud demand of a little boy wanting to take her space.

She stood her ground, but after much hand waving, cajoling and whining, the little boy won but not before he gave her some candy.

Serving up perplexion

Ever try to take a photo of curved posts because for some unknown reason the posts just seem to hold your fascination?

And on the post is a kid who finds you his fascination.

Well ... after looking at this photo hundreds of times, I've decided that he gives purpose to the posts and so I publish this post.

That will teach him.

One more day before the San Mateo County Fair of 2010 ends!

Let me tell you what I think of this county fair!

It's fun for genders of all kinds including humans.

It's Well organized and there appears to be more rides.

However, I did miss the roller coaster and the dragon ride for kids 5 and under.

The coke, cotton candy, ice cream and hot dogs were great but my tummy didn't agree.

Now here's some advice.

Put on lots and lots of sun block, wear a hat and don't forget to drink lots and lots of water.

And if you've got youngins, BRING THE STROLLER!!
