Ah! it seems so long ago that I counted the summer wasted, if I had not been to the Ex;1 but I have since realized I like the Royal2 much more. I am not one for rollercoasters and carnival games and such. Give me aisles and aisles of placid sheep; of long-lashed llamas; of well-coiffed cattle; and finest of all, fancy pigeons and show-fowl, in their infinite variety, and I am happier than a Nantucket clam in mud.

sorry i've just been reading moby dick, it makes you talk like that
