Went To The OC Fair. Picked Up a Diet Coke, Some Pork Ribs, and a Little Girl

I assumed the weirdest thing that would happen at the OC Fair would be the 50+ year old guy I saw wearing a halter top, hot pants, high heels and a blonde wig...but I was wrong.

We used the Experion Shuttle that picks you up near the Performing Arts Center and takes you to the Fair for free. Great deal and you beat all the terrible traffic.

We got on the bus to come home and as the bus was working its way through the parking lot toward the exit there was a disturbance in the back of the bus and people were yelling for the driver to start. It seems there was a little girl, about 3, on the bus all by herself - no parents. Our driver couldn't believe what he was hearing, but turned the bus around and headed back to the pick-up place where I expected to see a frantic family looking for their kid.

Nothing.

There was a another bus loading, so our driver went over there to see if anyone lost a kid. A lady on the bus, who had an infant and another child about 18 months, calmly said "yes, my daughter got on your bus" like it happens every day. She wasn't the least bit disturbed that her kid was in a bus full of strangers and would be let off several miles away with no one there to supervise her.

If I had been in charge I would have been looking for a Sheriff's deputy, because that woman needed some serious talking-to. That was borderline child endangerment.

Always entertaining at the Fair.

Ah, to observe what we so lightly refer to as the passing parade of humanity!

How were the ribs?
