I think you're right about him not believing me. Maybe I'll bring him a
jar. . . .

Someday I'm gonna work at the Fair in the department where I
exhibit/compete -- intake and stuff like that. I'm not qualified to
judge and don't especially want to, but I'd REALLY like to see what goes
on when the judging is done. The judges are rarely identified publicly
and they don't let the "exhibitors" watch the judging. Drat!
