John Ringling North stepped back into the ring today for the first time since July 1956, when he led the last spec under the tent at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Because Mr North is the owner of this circus (not to mention a member of the Ringling family.) Because anybody familiar with this circus knows who other people in these pictures are; because this is a blog and not a newspaper story; and last but not least, because this is my blog and I write what I damn want.
...and is there some way you can disable the option of leaving an anonymous comment? That might alleviate some difficulty you've had with some posters.
I appreciate your blog. It gives me the opportunity to catch a glimpse of my sister and niece ( as in today's photo ) once in a while. It also allows me to keep track of where they are. Tepa Hall ( Tavana's sister )
There is always hope you will learn how to blog correctly. But you will first have to learn manners. And your photos of old shacks makes many wonder what the hell you were thinking.
Upon second thoughts the comments of that person do not deserve any further ink. Hard to beat for low. I'll certainly look into a way to disable anonymous comments, or to filter them for relevance.
Is this Mr. North brandishing a whip?
ReplyDeleteWhy no names for the other photos?
