ANN ARBOR ART FAIR!

And they'll tow your ass in a heartbeat too!

Not a cloud in the sky and it's 98° F in the shade. Perfect Art Fair weather eh? Drink lots of water and don't push yourself. You got all day week to see everything. I understand your problems and I feel your pain. Which is why I and a lot of other townies know that Air Fair week is the perfect time to take our vacations. Heh.

So enjoy the art, the people watching and the whole People's Republic of Ann Arbor ambiance. Me, I'll enjoy the Bass fishing and golf in the Irish Hills this week instead. To each his own. Enjoy.
