Visiting the Circus

It was back to the past for my half birthday this year as my friend
Ray offered to drive in return for free admission. Ray wanted to see
how the museum had changed since his last visit in 1971, only to
discover that he hadn't been to Circus World in 1971; he had been in
Milwaukee for the Circus Parade.

I, of course, have been to Circus World before -- thrice, if memory
serves. Once in 1967 on a high school bus "camp" around Wisconsin,
once when I talked a teen driver into driving me to visit a friend
and the Circus in Baraboo, and once in order to replace a false
memory of visiting Circus World with my father with a real memory of
him visiting Circus World with me. I even preached a sermon on the
circus.

Out of all 4 visits I have only 2 photos, both from the high school
trip. Other people take pictures at Circus World. People paid money
for pictures with performing pigs. Ray took pictures of elephants
being bathed. I take pictures in other places and other times, but
not at the circus.

Maybe visiting the circus is too important to me to take pictures.
