Seems like, if you're standing in Texas, it's a good thing that reflects well on the people of your state.
OTOH, if you're standing in Iowa, it's a bad thing that just proves that the people of your state have nothing better to do.

Well I'll certainly root for them against the putrid iggles.

Heck I'd root for a mass conglomeration of aggies, sooners, notre dame, and the new york yankees, against the eagles.

Well yeah. Mostly because they pelted him with battery-packed snowballs.

I just found out that this is a thing.  Seems like it would be right at home at a state fair:

It's about "fair season" around here, which means various festivals in the park on weekends for jazz, art, more art, one is the PRIDE festival (for folks who are proud I guess), etc.  They bring in a plethora of food trucks which offer what might be similar to "state fair food" (or not).  OTOH, I've sampled a few and they aren't particularly good for the $$ in my view.  Funnel cakes seem to do well.  They have trucks offering Greek and Thai and "BBQ" and hotdogs (which must be a profit winner), and fried everything.

We used to have 7-8-9 food trucks in the neighborhood each day for lunch in one parking lot, but that has mostly ended, I see the occasional one about still, but no mass of them.  One place they congregated is now a building.  I want to see if our favorite Italian place is open now, the former location was demolished and they moved a block or so away rehabbing a 1930 house, which promises to be pretty neat.

Pasta da Pulcinella

Looks like the move is still in progress.

There are a lot of "food truck parks" around here.  Big lots or fields where several food trucks park permanently, with some outdoor tables and stuff in between them.

Seems to kind of defeat the point of having a mobile food operation, but I guess if they weren't making money, they wouldn't be doing it.
