The Circus is Next Door!

So I wake up today and what do I see through my patio screens...The Circus [Cole Bros. Circus]. That's right! Literally in my backyard, in The Oaks Mall Parking lot, the circus tents are being pitched.

I don't have to say how awesome this is. To have the circus in your backyard has to be every kid growing up ultimate fantasy. [well either having the circus in your backyard or being able to fly...it was usually one of the two].

So while at work today [for those that don't know I live in the same apartment complex where I work...so it makes my morning commute literally a breeze], we power up the golf cart and drive around the perimeter of the circus and try to see some of the animals.

The only one we were able to see where the elephants [picture right]. We think there might be horses, but we couldn't see them.

I have to say, looking into the eyes of an elephant [especially one that is chained up] is a bit heart-wrenching. Even though the seem at ease, tossing bits of hay on their back, their eyes almost say they are just really really sad.

Well I should get back to work, luckily today is one of those days where it is gloomy outside and traffic coming into the office is at a standstill.

until next time,
