TBT - WV State Fair & The Joy of Lost Parking Places.

Every year, I sell tickets at the State Fair. The same crew plus a few new ones come back. It is always a great reunion and we have a lot of fun.

Since retiring, I like part/time temporary/ and seasonal work. No major league commitments, just enough cash to get on the train and travel. There was no State Fair in 2020 courtesy of Covid-19. There will be one this year. Yippee!!!

Parking can be a major league nightmare if one forgets where they parked. I've done it a few time and was able to find it by sounding the horn but I needed help figuring out the direction.

Thank God for cell phones, What I do now is take a photo of nearby landmarks so that I can easily find it when I get off work that night. There is an employee parking lot but it is frequently filled.

When I was taking a photo of the "D" sign, the State Trooper asked what I was doing. I advised him that he didn't want to help me find my car that night. There is always a method to my madness.

There will be no Charlie Daniel concert this year. He went to the other side. I had tickets for Alabama last year which got cancelled because of the illness of one of the band members. This was a Jamey Johnson concert. 2021, Whiskey Flats is my band.

I used to write those numbers down so we could find our car at the state fair. We usually left earlier than the crowds, so there were still many cars and it's hard to spot one. Sometimes, we tied a cloth to toy to the antennae.
Speaking of using the cell phone, I took a picture of our car's license plate. I would never remember it. The other vehicle has a number that I chose, so that one I can remember..... for now! lol

Excellent idea of taking picture in order not to get lost. Many moons ago I pent hours looking for my car at Englishtown Raceway Park Summer Nationals. There were thousands of cars parked in an open field and I had no idea where I left the car.
