i got back into phoenix really late on sunday. i felt sick to my stomach. i ate too much roast corn. we bought 15 roast corn, 18 fresh corn, 4 weird looking star fish shaped squash, a water melon, and honey dew. i was looking for some big, fat squash. where did they all go? i think i missed out. i didn't see any in sight except the pewny italian squash.

on saturday i sat and watched the parade. it was hot and it seemed like there was a zillion brown people every where. it's kind of shocking to see. you don't see that much brown skin people in a crowd, except at the bar. just kidding! i forgot the name of those bars that the natives hang out at...dang it's been a long time....let me see...good time charlies, rodeo nites (did that name change again?), hmmmm......snaps? haha! i was once a frequent visitor of those places. i haven't been into any of them in a very, very long time though. anyway, it was nice though. after the parade we went to the rodeo. i thought i was gonna snag me one of them cars they were giving away. but i didn't. some lady from crownpoint had that special key. she won. that lucky bastard! i can't believe i actually stayed the whole 3 hours, my ass got torchered to death from the hard seating.

after the rodeo we left the fair. it was too dusty and i could feel the dirt caking up in my ears. i don't like dust. my eyes can't handle dirt. it irritates it and i had to get away from the fair grounds. after we left the rodeo we decided to make our way in to gallup, but before we could even get into gallup we saw that there was like a 2 mile back up of vehicles. at first we thought it was an accident, but after closer inspection we saw that it was a road block. they had the road block for both directions of traffic. people were turning around to avoid the road block. i was surprised that the cops weren't chasing them. anyway, as we got closer the road block you could smell beer. it was every where. it smelled like a bar! a lot of drunks were getting their vehicles towed. it was kind of sad to see. so many vehicles parked on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. it was a sight to see. it probably took us 20 minutes of waiting before we could pass the road block and after that we were zooming to gallup.

i really enjoyed myself this weekend. i will hopefully be doing the same again next month!
