Haven't been here in a while., just thought I'd check in and say Hi to all my LB friends. And and DUMMBys hanging around. ☺

Hi. I just got home from the circus. Saw a couple of firsts--they shot a guy like a flaming arrow the length of the auditorium. Thought it was going to be the canon shoot, but he laid flat on his stomach on top and they lit him on fire and 'boom'. It really was a spectacle. There was also a Mongolian strong man who apparently was on America's Got Talent this year, but I don't remember seeing it. I think it might have been one of the recap spots. He tossed and spun gigantic logs, like log rolling logs, on his back. Holy cow, unbelievable. And then there were the annual contortionist who folds himself into an acrylic box and the clothes changing couple. Oh, and a dog and PIG act. That's something you don't see every day. It was a really good circus this year despite the fact that they didn't have a trapeze. That's my favorite and you rarely see it anymore. Maybe it's an insurance or cost thing.

Whatwhat is associated with the trapeze school on San Monica Pier. and you can score a box when watching people fly or flying yourself.
