From Phoenix we jumped 25 miles to suburban Cave Creek, then today we jumped another 90 miles to Cottonwood. The temperature abated in the high desert and here we fond perfect circus weather and big audiences ready to enjoy it. Tomorrow it's another 100 miles to Williams in the mountains west of Flagstaff. On Saturday in in Phoenix a wire walker fell from a ladder fracturing her ankle. Today she hobbled about the lot with aid of a walker. Circus can be dangerous business and few people realize the risks that performers take twice each day. In the backyard no forgets the risk, but it's to laugh than it is to worry.
