We are next door to a Marine training base --
These noisy babies fly lots of "touch and goes" (landing and then immediately taking off without taxiing off the runway) in circuits that take them right over the fairgrounds.
After three days here, people just pause in their conversations until they can be heard again and then just go right on talking like they never stopped.
Today was another busy day full of seminars. Added to that was tonight's Pizza Party where 400+ people were fed the first go-around of pizza (two slices each with choice of cheese, sausage or pepperoni) in less then fifteen minutes! I had helped with pizza serving last year and this year Terri sort of put me in charge. We set up forty tables and chairs for eating, six more for serving and three more for stacking pizza boxes until they were needed for the servers. It's quite a spectacle to watch that many people come through the lines and get served so quickly!
Tonight's entertainment was a fellow named Michael Hargis and his wife Christy. He's a pretty talented singer who uses the kinds of pre-recorded music used in karaoke machines. He did sing a couple of things without accompaniment just to prove he wasn't lip-syncing! He and his wife did a bus conversion to an RV and have been on the road for the last six months.
One of the seminars I went to today was one Nick Russell led about blogging. I think I've gotten a few new ideas I may want to be trying out in the coming weeks. We'll see...
