At the fairgrounds before the crowds arrive

At 6 pm wax castles were brought into the fairgrounds.

Some slight confusion, as it seemed there were more than one person directing the flow, giving conflicting signals




Spire installation was being done on site













Exhibits were still being arranged

















Still plenty of room to walk around

















These bugs stayed inside their open air enclosure, no escape attempts
















5 varieties on this bug menu

















The reason I came to the fair. Me and Alving love chestnuts

Bug catching simplified

No zapper needed to get rid of those pesky bugs circling around outdoor lighting.


Simply moisten the inside of a clear plastic bag and hang it next to the light.

In a matter of minutes the bugs are history.  The bugs fly into the bag, their wings get wet and they are unable to fly.  

 

See that black triangle at the bottom of the bag, that's all bugs caught in less than ten minutes

Internet hacking is happening all over the world.  Governments are doing it to each other.  
Governments are doing it to their own population under the guise of protecting everyone.  

Nothing is 100% secure on the net

Changing your passwords frequently is recommended, but even that does not insure total security.

In banking, it's important to know that you are insured against losses due to cybercrime. 

Computer virus protection is essential.  
There's no such thing as a free lunch, free downloads generally derive benefit in other ways.  Read the "fine print"
