This is kind of sad...

"...come May, after almost a century and a half of spectacular revels, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will vanish, like a big, colorful, improbably long dream."

When I was a kid, I used to love going to the circus that would visit our town every year. Once my boys came along, they enjoyed it too.

I saw the announcement too - their overhead costs and animal activists campaigns are the listed reasons.

I guess now I must invite you to Wisconsin to visit the Circus World Museum in Baraboo for your circus fix. It's only open in the summer months, otherwise our clowns would be frozen to the tent poles.

That would be fun to see. DH just told me they have a circus museum in CT where he grew up too.
 
We also have The House on The Rock, a must see in my opinion. We're gone twice and thanks to seeing The American Pickers visiting it on one of their last show I must go back as I don't remember the giant octopus they showed.

This is the part that hangs over the rock, i who has a great fear of heights walked to the end, i seem to remember a glass floor.
 
Goood Monday Morning!

I have a good job which I enjoy doing but for some reason I just do not feel like it today.]

Predicted max today is only 88F but the current relative humidity is 90%.

N F C I thought it was just me but yep, posts have intermittently been slow to submit for a couple of days now; even the ones that are just text, no images.

It is my sister’s birthday on the 20th and Australia Day on the 26th.

Speaking of my sister, her foster Greyhound rescue Freddie is going well but still needs to put on a little weight. Apparently he had fun trying to get the peanut butter out of his Kong toy

The closing of the Circus made the news here in Aus also; heard it on the radio yesterday.
