17 PAX showed face, 2 lost their beards or a bet (still uncertain). Dredd lost track of time staking out a nearby apartment complex in his ongoing search for the ultimate clown car. It was brought to YHC attention that the True Grit Parking lot is apparently known in the Garmin-World as Shelly Lake Park-N-Ride. Interesting morning… Oh yes and then the circus came to town. No clowns in sight no elephants or lions just a kangaroo with a Captain designation and lots of whining, not of children as one would expect at a circus but of full grown men.

Step right up, Step right up, Welcome to the Circus of Pain!
