Saw my first live monster truck show--opened with the emcee saying "I respect your faith and hope you'll respect mine" before plunging into a Jesus / US Military invocation. Stayed standing afterwards for a pre-recorded National Anthem. Then finally, some action! A stunt bike driver who, the emcee announces, is back after a couple of years off. But before setting foot on his bike, the biker grabs mic. "Had a couple hard rides in 2012, and a couple hard life situations, and I turned to alcohol, now you kids that are out there.."
Uh, where's Bigfoot?

One of my fondest Wayne County Fair memories, and that is a high bar! Can't believe it's been nearly a decade...
