What's a mudshow? In the early days of the American Circus shows traveled rutted cart tracks through the night to make the next town with their horse drawn parade wagons. Arriving, they washed off the mud and with sparkles and spangles put on a show. Today we travel interstate highways in diesel trucks but circus honors the past by recalling a bit of that clay that stuck to the wheels. We call it a mudshow.
Yeah Ben I know even a large circus can have weeks on end without notable events to write about. It is in fact the reason I left the cat act with Carson and Barnes and moved on. Bored to death. I always check the plethora of circus blogs and they all seem to be bogged down in the same chit chat day in and day out. No one's fault - but don't blame me for trying to shake you guys up. Considering what can go wrong on a mud show, I'm happy things are 'blissfully quiet' as you say. Check out my new book.

Damn... For years I've been told I wrote too much!
Short posts illustrate the route.
I could get long winded -- but what would you want me to write about? Blissfully quiet season.
