The guys.


August 10, Romeo.

Jaime is the chief electrician at the circus. Fridman calls him Antonio Banderas.
The guys on the crew have nicknames, this one is Pulga (flea, cause unknown,) there's Cuco, Teto.
Thick skin is required, but that they have, or they wouldn't last long in this life of daily pre-dawn wake-up calls and setting up and taking down of a fifteen-hundred capacity, fully rigged circus tent.
Lunch, a shower and they put on their bright red uniforms to go sell cotton candy.
Monday to Sunday.
The workload is gruesome.
I love their smile.
