Welcome Julie.
July 23, Westfield.
Julie arrived last night in Buffalo from Grenoble, in the French Alps, where my mother lives. We all went to pick her up, armed with a banner saying "Welcome Julie" in big bold letters made by Dylan during our homeschool. She is eighteen, the daughter of Dylan's physician; this is her first time in the United States and in a circus.

East Concord.
July 22, East Concord.
The town is so small it doesn't come up on maps.
There is one stop sign.
It is still hot but not so inhuman as yesterday.

On chairs and such.
July 21, Warsaw.
As Jim Royal told me in an email earlier this month, it is hotter than the fringes of hell today. The Midwest has been suffering under a heat wave for longer than anyone cares to remember, but we had been relatively sheltered here in the East, until now.
Tavana's quote on the route slip said "It's a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do," (Walter Winchell) to which one can only add, if the pavement goes with the chair, you're in for trouble.

Geneva.
July 19, Geneva.
Great location to advertise the circus, downtown and on the lake, within walking distance of everything; we went for breakfast just crossing the street.

After the storm.
July 18, Tully.
Storm this morning, storm tonight.
Lucky it was clear last night for the big BBQ at the Poemas, who had family visiting, and for the guys at the pie car, next door at John and Reyna's, who were having a party.

Split.
July 16, Mayfield.
Split lot, the big top is crammed next to a gas station with a few performers' houses and the rest of us are down the street, on a school parking lot. No light, but water.
Ryan when we asked him about the situation as we saw some people drive away from the school late in the morning: "Only performers can go back and park near the tent. My sister-in-law (Delena) does not qualify. Oscar does."
The Poemas set up their pool so I added ours and we beat the heat.
