Fabulous! Loved rhyming Charlotte with harlot.
Thank you! It seemed natural, given who is gathered there, like one of the traveling carnivals that used to come through the rural areas of Texas in my childhood.
We used to get to hang out with the carnival people, because my grandparents were close friends with a couple who were lifetime carnies-they owned a show that traveled around Texas and the rest of the South from Spring to Fall, then spent the winter in the Valley, where most of my family lives-early winter Texans. I developed a fascination for that footloose lifestyle for awhile-step right up, ladies and gentlemen!
