In 1956, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus closes its very last “Big Tent” show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, due to changing economics all subsequent circus shows will be held in arenas. Now the only thing in tents is fireworks dealers and car dealers when their show rooms are being renovated.

Moving forward, I think I’m off to Schoharie County today to go for a drive and swimming at Mine Kill State Park. Then probably spend the night camping at Burnt Rossman. I want to get some corn and veggies at the farm stand and enjoy the frigid AC. But first, I need to get a haircut and get packed. And finish up my breakfast.
