22. Footlongs!

Hot dogs have always been my comfort food. Yes, I know what they're made of so shut up already. When I was a kid in the 50s we would always go to the Mn state fair. One year when I was about 8 I went with my very indulgent grandmother. She bought me 48 inches worth of hot dog. I was in heaven. Flying high all day! Last year I went to the fair for the first time in years at the age of 63. Bought a footlong for old times sake. Yuch! I was nauseous all day. Was it the dog or my elderly digestive system? I don't know but where fair food is concerned it appears that you really can't go home again!
