Erma - For those of us who remember the traveling circus, it was a highlight for the children of summer. The high-wire acts made for wide-open mouths of wonder. There were the different animal shows that would captivate the audience. The circus has lost its luster with the fast-moving devices of tech. There is a connection to the circus era and that of today. Remember the freak show with two-headed people, and other unusual, human sights. The world of today reminds one of the freak show with all of its non-human ingredients. The circus is gone, but the circus world of today is a reality.
