    HOPE this is great on Blue Ray. I LOVE this one. KEITH

    To each their own, I suppose. I really enjoyed it actually knowing a bit about the Circus World as I mentioned before. It really gave the feeling of being around and inside a circus. And, I liked the story also.


    Once again Peter, quite an accomplishment to get all the cards. You are a true collector! Keith

    Oh NO Wytrayah, That was what I meant about the smaller circuses. You would NOT believe it. They have a huge big top with three acts going at the same time and clowns too. Usually, they come in early in the morning, (depending on where their last gig was). They come by car, wagons pulled by trucks, campers, one or two semi rigs, and they set up in no time at all. Sometimes they get a matinee AND a night show in. Then everyone leaves and the FUN begins! Boy to see those men move those elephants around, and the elephants know their jobs. They know JUST how to take the huge tent poles down without dropping them. EVERYONE knows their jobs and they all do them very rapidly. In about two hours...very hard to believe, but I have seen it many times............they are GONE. There is even a clean up crew that leaves the grounds almost spotless. Of course, I love the acts part also. Even small circuses have good acts....especially if you have never seen a Ringling or one like that! Tell me where you live. I will find you a circus close by this year. I will ask my Friend in Sarasota with Ringling. If you live up north, hope they haven't been near you already.......they head back south when it gets cold. Let me know, now
    And thanks For my welcome. I have posted on one or two of yours. I only really have about 7 or 8 folks who talk to me. I think I scare them off....too wordy, LOL...........can't help it, I am a writer.....things just come out! KPKEITH I will find you a circus. Can't believe you haven't seen one. There is NOTHING like the atmosphere of a circus! By the way, I am in Hillbilly country....not a store in 20 miles in any direction. Went to a circus in a small town about 3 years ago.....stayed until the last rig left!

    Did you ever tell me exactly where you live so I can get my friend to check on when and how close a medium sized Circus will be near you? If you did, tell me again, LOL....must have lost it. Keith

    Gosh Dooley, they look GREAT! You must have zillions as these are just Circus World....is that one of your favorites? Watch how much you put on the albums so you can get URL to post. I ran out of room, LOL. And to delete, so far, the only way I have found is to open each album, then each picture, click delete, and then again to be sure. Takes forever. I hope there is a better way, but I haven't found it yet. Also, there may be an easier way to get a picture up. So far, I can't "browse" my computer and post one. If you find a good way, PLEASE let me know. I love to send folks new pics I have found, but, as I said, I am deleting now so I can get new ones in.


    Really NICE ones! Keith

    I was quite surprised that I enjoyed Circus World....thanks for posting it. I thought it was going to be pretty corny when I saw Duke in his Duke clothes come out in the big top, though. Didn't thing it would be very realistic, either.
    However, I have stayed at night to see many medium circuses broken down with the help of the elephants in just a few hours to leave for their next gig. I also used to have a friend get us into the "clown college" at Ringling Brothers winter quarters in Sarasota, FL. Things inside the big top looked real! Small circus, but good acts and the cast was great.
    If you ever have a small circus in your town, go, and stay for the break down. I swear, it is as good as the circus!
