Phone call from my cousin:
I went to a Bastille Day Festival...there wasn't anything French.
Ha! I went to Fiesta Days, nothing Spanish about it. I did have excellent Chinese food, my date had a prime rib sandwich, we saw the retro band Kansas.They are kinda like the Eagles.
I just saw the Eagles!
We went to the carnival attached to the festival. I played the Fire Alarm game You shoot water at a bull's eye. I won. Now I have a giant bright red Scooby. My date spent his time walking behind me mumblings things about my ass. He lost.
Next time come with me to see the real Eagles.
Yes, I will.

Don't fret. Nothing is wrong. We have all lived in fantasyland for the last 4 years or so. Now the market is returning to some sort of reality. Hang on. Everything is okay.
