| Mountain View Manor Carnival July 28, 2016 | |
| I volunteered at this years' carnival at the
      Mountain View Manor senior home in Eureka.  I happened to show up
      just as they were cranking up the cotton candy machine, so another
      volunteer and I got elected to this post.  It was an unusually hot
      day and our skill level was low, so this meant we ended up being coated in
      candy ourselves.  As soon as the floss would hit our sweaty skin it crystallized
      until we were walking sticks of cotton candy!  It was a good day
      though, I am thankful I was able to participate. | |
