Subliminal recollection~

My thought process has always been somewhat odd. But something led me to the thought of the circus. To be specific, the topic that led me to "circus" was badminton training. It may seem random now, but once it has been explained, it may seem twice as random. So I was fooling around with my badminton racquet in my basement when I noticed my wrist started hurting after swinging it like crazy a gagillion times. That led me thinking about how I could improve my wrist strength. A friend of mine told me once that curling weights would help. At the time I could only lift like five pounds...

Then it hit me. I recall a circus act I had witnessed quite a few years ago. Two clowns went into the middle of the circle. A buff large one attempted to lift weights that were labeled 5000 pounds. Unable to lift the weights he challenged a much smaller skinnier clown to lift the weights. Being the clever clown he was, he removed the three 0's from 5000 reducing it to 5 pounds. With ease he lifted the weights away and the buff clown was stunned with amazment.

I still remember how the circus used to come to town every year. They set up their huge tent near the highway in a large lot. That lot has now become the Superstore: Lablaws. The lesson I learned today is that as the generations pass. Many great experiences will be lost. One day all the great things I had seen and done as a child will be no more. The circus coming to town will be a myth. Sure Cirque du Soleil will still be there, but what ever happened to those $5 ones I had so enjoyed as a child coming from a middle class family. Now only super rich folks will enjoy such a circus with Cirque du Soleil ticket prices topping $100.
