Dust has become a problem at the Fair, with the wind blowing and fine dust settling on everything in minutes. It’s nearly impossible to keep the surfaces of the tables and books clean. But everyone is in the same boat, so both vendors and fair goers are coping fine.

We extended our offer of a free copy of my Stupid People book to people who buy a BHM hat. I’ve listed yesterday’s T-shirt and hat wearers below. Although we’re enjoying ourselves at the Fair, there is little time to do anything else, even make a blog post. We come back to the motel, eat, and crash.

Operating the computer at the Fair to post to this blog is dangerous for the laptop because the dust infiltrates every crevice of it. So we keep our laptops zipped up in their bags, except on the few occasions we have to look up a reader in the database to see if their subscription has expired.
