Kaboom!

A couple of days before Halloween we all drove out to a farm between Portland and Salem for their annual harvest festival. What else is there to do in late October in the Willamette Valley? There were all the things you would expect. A hayride out to a field to pick pumpkins. a petting zoo of exotic animals like goats and cats, caramel apples, and strange people wearing overalls. But what wasn't expected was encountering something that's perhaps the most glorious invention mankind has yet to produce; a gigantic, flatbed truck-mounted pumpkin cannon. It only cost $3.00 per round to pull the trigger, so we stayed there for about 2 hours firing pumpkins 1500 feet across a half-plowed field at an old school bus on the other side. Amidst all the kabooms and cheering whenever a pumpkin hit its target, a thought struck me. What other nation is so gluttonous that its citizens will line up and pay good money to destroy food?

None!

And that's just part of what makes this country great!

We also have monster truck rallies.
