At least I saw the circus.

Since my car decided to break down so late in the day, it would be until tomorrow before we could do anything with it anyways. So we alerted the local police that the red Saturn sitting outside their station was broken and that they shouldn't ticket it. It would be taken care of in the morning. With nothing better to do, Dad and I went to the fair. We missed some of the first part of the circus and we had to sit at the far end, but we still made it.

At least we got to the tigers and the "Lord of the Ring." [Gag] It was the end of the day, the tigers had gone through two shows already. If they were going to attack the trainer, this was probably the best time. Right? There were a couple good roars and swipes but nothing bad happened. Truthfully, the tigers were pretty dull. They just hoped up and down and two jumped through a hoop of fire. Yawn.
Actually, the best part of the circus was this guy. Part comedian, part juggler, part geek, with a little bit of Carrot Top thrown in. First he took ping pong balls out of his suit case of goodies. Swallowed them, regurgitate them, and juggled them. Along with a bunch of other stuff. Definitely more entertaining then the Afghan dogs, monkeys, and bears doing tricks.
