The circus

"The Circus, the Circus, I love the Circus," a favorite line of mine from Bugs Life. I have always loved the Circus, It is such an event and production. Being a History nut I know that the circus used to be a very big deal, it would travel by train from town to town, parade through the town before opening, and then put on a very fancy performance that people had never before seen. The Ring Master was persuasively dramatic, the performers dressed in amazing costumes, they had freaky people on display, and the exotic animals could not be seen anywhere else. Obviously human rights now-a-days would not allow people to be sold to a circus because they were a midget, or extremely obese, or had an abundance of testosterone causing them to be bearded, but back then, this practice was commonly done. A great Circus was always looking for a "one of a kind" freak that would draw the crowds. In our current society the Circus doesn't have the same allure it once had, but is still an event I can't miss. We have all seen Tigers and Elephants, contortionists, and motorcyclists in the cage, but for some reason it is still just as entertaining as it was the time before. Adessa enjoyed the show until it was 10:00 p.m. and an hour beyond sleepy time. We got the cheap seats but saw the show just as good as if we had the expensive seats. Plus, Adessa loved the view from the upper bowl, it was like having an Aeriel perspective, you can't beat that.
