Photo of the Now, vol. 209

I visited the fair yet again Thursday afternoon to see what manner of jocose tomfoolery might be happening on the midway.  Did I find any?  Yes: I found plenty!


While I was shooting this photo, I was yet again hit in the head by a flying object.  Last time I was hit in the head by a shell during the salute on Memorial Day; this time I was hit in the head by a Blackberry that escaped from the pocket of somebody on the ride.

The phone hit the ground fairly hard and lost its battery on impact, but this story has a happy ending: the phone still worked — probably because my head slowed its fall — and I was able to reunite the phone and its owner.
