I can feel the weather starting to change. I can hear Toby Shaw cutting the fingers off of a new pair of driving gloves. I can smell Mettler's fish. I can hear the brass band at the intersection of Main and Market. I can hear "...and let'er go!" and see a frightened mouse dive through hole #43. I can see the Bluffton kids planning to jump some Norwell kids at the Country Cupboard. I can feel the stiff leather of a newly stamped bracelet scratching my skin. I can see the double ferris wheel from across Huffman's Freedom Bridge. I can hear "Bark at the Moon" at 178 decibels from OUTSIDE the Gravitron. I can see men and women trust their kids' safety to people that can't read or write. I can see Jared Weberg getting barfed on outside the Wipeout.

Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you FEEL it?

I know you can.

It's the Street Fair, bitches, and it's coming.
