I'm not sure how many of the shows still provide school for their kids, but a few of them do. This photo hasn't anything to do with school but it is the biggest inflatable pool I've ever seen. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305577 Susan 2008-08-17T08:12:21Z 2008-08-17T08:12:21Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305577" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218982350_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> This is a shot from last year's set-up of the Crazy Mouse, that I overlooked. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305575 Susan 2008-08-17T07:21:41Z 2008-08-17T07:21:41Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305575" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218979309_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> I was lucky to have dinner with this gentleman last Wednesday night at the Wilson County Fairgrounds. The call him Casanova. That may be lost on you at first, having only the photo, but if you met him, you'd totally understand. This week he's working on the Fireball. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305538 Susan 2008-08-16T21:51:20Z 2008-08-16T21:51:20Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305538" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218945097_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> Here's a guy who might have been a tree frog in a former life. Or Spiderman. He's walking on a ledge of bent metal, less than the width of his foot. And then there's Britney. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305535 Susan 2008-08-16T21:27:41Z 2008-08-16T21:27:41Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305535" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218943871_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> There are too many of these to post so I've decided to make the whole thing into a slide show for later. Later like December. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305387 Susan 2008-08-15T08:05:57Z 2008-08-15T08:05:57Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305387" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218809165_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> Both times I've seen this ride go up, there were people who stood around watching it nearly all day. The sign going up is the most popular part, I'm guessing because it's the highest point on the ride. It takes close to three days to get it all together. Most of the track and the (blue) support beams were laid on Wednesday in eight or nine hours. http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305384 Susan 2008-08-15T07:18:54Z 2008-08-15T07:18:54Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305384" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218806343_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305383 Susan 2008-08-15T07:15:42Z 2008-08-15T07:15:42Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305383" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218806151_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305300 Susan 2008-08-14T20:46:03Z 2008-08-14T20:46:03Z <a href="http://pitcherlady.my-expressions.com/archives/182_1241758244/305300" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/80/pblog/175/1218771263_eit_thumb.jpg"/></a><br> Looks kinda' dull, doesn't it? Hang on to your steel-toed boots. Regular readers will attest that we've been here before but hey, I did get a new camera and practice makes perfect, no?
