Fair Food

I'm off to the San Diego County Fair today, and I am curious to see if it bears any resemblance to the fairs that I grew up with in the South. I think fairs bring out a peculiar culture of people, and I wonder, perchance, if I will catch a glimpse of home in the faces of people happily shoving fried Twinkies in their faces while debating whether or not they should pay money to see the Yak- woman.
