Did you ever take pictures of circus banners? Some of them, especially the vintage ones of things like the old side and freak shows are really gorgeous.Polly Kahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144327981127333878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-30945877574238701762008-08-31T18:20:00.000-04:002008-08-31T18:20:00.000-04:00Carnies are a peculiar breed.

Skylab was *still running* at the end of the Derby but didn't win because it was hopelessly hooked onto another car. before it went to the big skylab in the country, bob cut off the tiger i'd painted on the door and it still hangs in his office here in the house. yeah, those were the good old days. valeriev-nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959430013092885883noreply@blogger.com
