June 30, Townsend.
The horses are free and so are we. This morning Ben came to check an enclosed sports field in the back of the trailers and then set the ponies free. Each and every day, all through the eight months of the circus season they are tethered, working or not. Christmas in June. Thanks Ben.
We have the day off today, the town the circus was going to play (Malborough) got canceled. We drove straight to the next one, crossing Massachusetts from south to north. The arrangement was announced only two days ago; up until then it was an open question where we would park. Saved by the last minute bell, circus-style.
On the mechanical side: a couple of days ago the engine, brakes and airbag lights have started going on and off in our truck, all the gages shutting off in concert, and I can only wonder if the engine is about to shut off too and leave me without any kind of control over the truck in the middle of the interstate, for example.
