We have our small county fair going on this week and weekend. It's set up in a community center's green space not far from my house, so I like to walk my dog there early in the morning. Lots of good things to sniff, and cows and ponies to watch. Funny enough, my dog wags at the cows and hides behind my legs if the ponies come close. 
Anyway, I was looking at the area where the workers' trailers are set up. Some are the kind that are pulled by a pickup truck, others are stand-alones. (not sure what any of these things are called, lol). They have little patios set up, and grills outside, and clothes lines, etc. I think it sounds like fun to travel around like that, free of being tied to one place.
Of course I know it's probably a hard life, not much money, no retirement benefits, etc. But from my romanticized view it looks like fun.
Just wondered if anyone has ever known someone who had this kind of life?
Also, just fyi, did you know you can buy a "pizza in a cone"? I thought I knew all the different types of fair foods but this one was new to me. The "cone" isn't a sweet cone like for ice cream, in the photo it looks more like flatbread that's been rolled to be cone shape. You can get pepperoni or plain cheese. I think I gained ten pounds just walking through the food area and nothing was even opened at that hour of the morning. Corn dogs, deep-fried oreos, cheese fries, funnel cakes, Jamaican pulled pork....
Good thing most of that has gluten so I am not tempted. I will have some of the pulled pork though.
