Oh My Gosh !!!!! No dear reader , you didn't die and go to heaven --- but it's probably a foretaste of things to come ( If you make the cut , that is ) ----- C.B.C.B. side show ---- notice the tip throwing tens and twenties at the stage , so he would keep on playing --- pipers never bother picking up the fives and singles -- Fact !!

2012-01-31T11:53:00.000-05:00

Not sure who she was ---- Charlie played the callie for the side show

2012-01-31T11:52:00.000-05:00

Every body loves a bagpiper ---- Oh , the wonder of it !!

2012-01-31T11:51:00.000-05:00

Many , many famous circus side shows had world renowned bagpipers to carry the show's load , and turn the tip !

2012-01-31T11:48:00.003-05:00

Mike did this --- I think ---

2012-01-31T11:48:00.000-05:00

Say Chic , do you remember the time Bob , and Hal , and Casey , and I met you on a circus lot , and I had my camera along , and took a picture of the four of you ???

2012-01-31T11:46:00.000-05:00

I have a picture of Felix , who did this ---- boy was he old ----- I bet that he was older than ---- well , never mind

2012-01-31T11:44:00.000-05:00

I thought this trailer was an engineering marvel !

2012-01-31T11:43:00.000-05:00

This was sent in ---- I have no idea what it means

2012-01-31T11:42:00.005-05:00

2012-01-31T11:42:00.002-05:00

2012-01-31T11:39:00.002-05:00

2012-01-31T11:38:00.000-05:00

They wanted burgers , so I took them to a hang out called The Pig and Whistle ----- they're leaning on my 1966 Bonnivelle ---- what a tank it was !

2012-01-31T11:36:00.003-05:00

You see everybody at the circus !

2012-01-31T11:36:00.000-05:00

Never thought of it like that before !

2012-01-31T11:35:00.000-05:00

The red blurr is believed to be a Martian flying saucer , flying at warp speed ------ that's the best explaination I have -----

2012-01-31T11:33:00.000-05:00

Alright , alright --- I can hear you already ----- one more time , The Circus Bagpiperrrrrrrrrrr !

2012-01-31T11:32:00.000-05:00

And here is today's railroad picture ---- I have no clue what it means ---- had a lot of those today ----

2012-01-30T11:24:00.000-05:00

So , now that I've got yesterdays pictures out of my system ( the number of people writing in about how much they enjoyed the pictures from the Cheraw chamber of commercs , was uncountable ) ---- I want to thank those who have sent stuff that I usually re-print ------ however , our priner died a few weeks ago , and the new one takes an Oxford graduate in electronics to hook up properly ------ it'll even fax stuff --- so keep sending things in , and I'll hold them till I can print them ----- Rocking on ------

2012-01-30T11:14:00.000-05:00

Hey Bob ----- you've been running some minstral show stuff ---- what I don't understand , is why anybody would want to put on black make-up , to probably ruin white shirts . and perform songs , and horrible jokes , in a hot wooden building , wearing gloves yet !What was the big deal , as you and Hal might have an answer , because this was before my time !!!

2012-01-30T11:10:00.002-05:00

2012-01-30T11:09:00.000-05:00
