Chuck, ...Grace, you did have a special experience!<br /><br />Chuck, different folks, different perspectives. My thoughts generally paralleled yours. The circus entertainment can be amazing, but most folk don't think of the lifestyle that the performers live.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-27419279667515912322012-08-16T09:44:32.582-04:002012-08-16T09:44:32.582-04:00I never did care much for the circus or the carniv...I never did care much for the circus or the carnival.

One year my father managed to snag tickets for seats that were right on the floor of Madison Square Garden - you couldn't get much more up close and personal as that. The last time I was at the circus was 10 years ago - I bought a fabulous clown mask that I wore all night long...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-78673697944965512662012-08-16T09:09:13.639-04:002012-08-16T09:09:13.639-04:00Jacquelineand, neglected, almost shabby as it was,...Jacquelineand, neglected, almost shabby as it was, it is an interesting tour.<br /><br />Shelly, I grew up listening to preachers who said such things as "Who goes to the circus? I'll tell you who goes to the circus. Sir Cuss, and Mrs. Cuss and all the little Cusses." I saw an amateur circus two years ago which was really rather stunning.f<br /><br />Lin, I suspect the elephants are the really old fellas waiting to die.

I haven't been to one in ages, but I suspect it would be a bit underwhelming to see one now as an adult. The museum, though, sounds like a very interesting trip~Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-11147012859748937902012-08-16T05:04:53.484-04:002012-08-16T05:04:53.484-04:00It's certainly seen better days but it was goo...It's certainly seen better days but it was good of you to share a peek with us.The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.com
