The pilot got so much praise - and well-deserved; but I'd like for the Flight Attendants to get more recognition. I'm not a Flight Attendant, but I thought about them when I watched the story on TV. That is why the seatbacks & tray tables should be up - so if you have to evacuate like that they aren't in your way. Many people don't pay attention to the safety instructions and don't realize that is what the Flight Attendants are there for. Thanks for all you do Carole!

I tried the fried bacon Brian and it was good. Not as amazing as I'd hoped; but don't let that stop you! Next on the list is the fried grilled cheese. I plan to go back for my third and final visit this weekend. I haven't been to the Creative Arts building yet. (BTW, Kristen is a very talented photographer and her Best In Show photo was really cool.)

I'm a State Fair junkie too! I don't get a season pass, but I go several times during the three weeks that it's open.
One of my favorite "attractions" is the Marine Drum & Bugle Corp. They perform at Marine Square the first two weeks, everyday (except Wednesday) at 4:00. Get there early though if you want a good seat! They are amazing and play a variety of music - not just military marches.
In addition to hitting Fletcher's as soon as I walk in the gate, I love Pedro's Tamales in the Food Pavillion, and Belgian Waffles. Fried guac and fried Nutter Butters are faves too.
The people -watching is fantastic because people from all walks of life and all over the country are there. I love everything about it!!
