Not a bad read... Was hoping for some more "Carnie lingo" and other insider knowledge. It reveals absolutely no secrets. It is a rather tame and generic of his one summer working with the carnival, with only one minor incident described in anything approaching detail (a fellow Carnie gets thrown out for theft). Virtually zero religious content, too, in case that's what you're interested in.

Regards,

I struggled with how much to share, since my web site is a Christian based one. Many time one can get into telling a story of their past and be tempted by past memories.

I have many things I could share, and some I may at some time since I am considering a book on that Summer.

I could have added the fire started by locals in Butte MT after some ride Jockeys messed with the wrong local girls, or the time in Saskatchewan when I was seeing this girl who worked for a local vendor who has a food tent. He told me that he would rather I get with his daughter since he had to protect the girl I liked not being his daughter He literally suggested I get laid by his daughter instead.

Or the time we had a week in Okl;ahom,a City before the state fair started and so my brother took e with his friend ans we spent a few days in a Motel room checking out the city. They turned me onto acid and I fell a sleep.

To this day he shakes his head at me as if I am weird. Who falls asleep on acid. Well, I am hyper and thus speed reacts negatively on me and the acid had speed in it. Something learned much later,.

At night we slept in the game areas by pulling down the tarps and just slept on the table game tables. One night I barely got this gal out before her father found us. That was in Birmingham.

Or the first image in my head of thou=sands of black people at night. I am from Duluth MN, maybe 5 blacks in the whole city back then, but that night in Birmingham all I saw was eyeballs and teeth.

Some may have been insulted with some of these descriptions which are true. I have many more I would put in a book.
