Trailer stoop talk.

July 21, Springville.

We had to park and wait this morning upon arriving as the crew had to take out log barriers to the lot so we could get in. An occasion to say hello and chat around the trucks, and for the babies to run around as if they owned the place.
I've noticed that Latino men are extremely chatty (and Fridman is no exception,) like the North African men of my childhood in France who sat on the stoop of their apartments or on the town square benches and talked the summer afternoons away, it seemed (while the women worked away in the home?) Only here in the circus the talking is done leaning on trucks or trailer hitches.
Stoop talk, circus style.
