This is rodeo week in Fortuna. Lots going on every day downtown, around the town and in the park. Yesterday as I was visiting people, all sorts of sirens went off downtown and the person I was with smiled and said they had just arrested a tourist. They have a jail that they drive all around town, pick up some tourist and put them up for the weekend, but they have to do different things for the rodeo. The chili cookoff on Monday was fun -- all sorts of booths on Main street and a bunch of the businesses in town make eight gallon pots of chili and everyone gets a taste. Very fun. All week there have been things going on on Main Street and in the park. An energy to the town. Today Harriet and the kids got up for the pancake breakfast this morning, the parade is in a hour or so. Tonight and tomorrow is the rodeo.
We haven't been wrestlin' any cows but have been trying to get phone service changed and dealing with a dead cell phone and the seven second buzzer to end the rodeo seems like a good idea when you are endlessly on the phone with att or verizon or blue shield trying to remember which att id one uses when calling customer service. My office is now the most disorganized part of the house. Now we are into bull riding.
