Ride 'em, Fishboy

There was a fair in Anchorage's park strip on the fourth of July, so we went down there with some friends and enjoyed some yummy food and stood around in the rain like real Alaskans. Two things of note:

There was a booth selling reindeer sausages, and its motto was "When you eat reindeer, you make Santa smile". Huh?

One of the rides featured a mechanical..... salmon. Like a mechanical bull, but it was a salmon. Sweeet.



Incidentally, are the images loading when you look at the blog? Let me know if they aren't -- I've heard from one person who says all she gets are red X's. If this is a widespread problem, I'll try to figure something out.
