At some point in the future, a high-tech rover is going to parachute to Earth after a long journey in search of life. It will find the remnants of a decorated diaper contest, baby races, and hog calling. It will take the visitors years to come up with the theory that in August, the old civilization would gather in a location, eat strange foods, participate in unexplained activities, and love it.
I'll see you at the MPR booth at the Minnesota State Fair on Friday the 31st, right?
