					<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s wrong with a fair in the winter. The NW Houston carnival in October and November in Houston is the last chance for the plains tribe of the carnies. The East Cost carnies overwinter in Florida. 

The plains tribe starts moving north during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo which is happening now. Seems the east coast tribe has the Florida State Fair. October, November, February, and March have the best weather on the Gulf Coast. 

Never come here in late July or August. Theres a reason we eat so much okra. Only okra fruits in August. Yoy&#039;d better have planted your tomatoes in what folks up north call the winter. They will never survive late July and August. If the heat doesn&#039;t kill them the onslaught of bugs will. That&#039;s why we eat fried green tomatoes. Eat them before they wither or become infested. 

But Okra survives everything. It laughs off heat, drought, and huricanes]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;We will see how many carriers have a beer, then get on a ride, forgetting they are packing, and the gun falls out and flies across the midway and kills a clown.&quot;

You say that as if it&#039;s a bad thing.

And in fairness, the scenario you&#039;ve set up would apply to any heavy object that the idiot brings on a ride.  The real problem is that some idiot may have several beers then get pissed off when someone bumps into him.  Fights escalate.]]></description>
