Topsfield
Played hookie on Monday and went to the Topsfield fair. Took the train to Ipswich and rode from there (about 7 miles). A killer hill towards the end there on Route 1, especially for a SS.
Played a bit with the GPS on the way there and back. It’s amazing the difference in the thing when you get to the burbs where there’s a clear view of the sky. It can take 10 minutes or more to acquire the satellites in town, but it was nearly instant out there.
Anyway, Topsfield was good as always. Saw some horse pulling, plus all the animal (human and otherwise) and an awesome display of falconry. Plus, of course, another world record pumpkin at 1689 pounds.
