Cricket #1


Busy day today, after running my errands and doing my chores it will almost be time for the Bucs/Skins game and afterward a big night at the club.
Tonight has turned out to be animal trainers night since Jim Clubb eMailed that he would be in the country briefly and would like to meet and visit with us.
And with that thought in mind, here are a couple of old pictures taken from a magazine called "Chums" and shows George DeGracia's elephants playing cricket.

A few years ago COCA COLA did a market survey and the result was a change in the original recipe. NEW COKE turned out to be a bomb and for some time the COCA COLA COMPANY had two products on the market, NEw Coke and Coke Classic, and finally returned to the original recipe. Might the RINGLING RINGLESS be the "new coke" and not favored by the audience? And will we see a show out there in the future WITH THREE RINGS and be labeled RINGLING CLASSIC? Billy Billetts

The alternate Ken & Nicole Show (Red Unit) remains this year with the traditional 3 ring format.
Logic tells us that if this new show succeeds the same fate awaits the Red Show.
I can't help but think the same fate awaits regardless, the savings should be enormous in the long run.
I was never fortunate enough to go to College but I think there's something in there to the effect "If your business is going down the crapper, you either increase the income or decrease the nut".

Something I forgot to ask my callers, "Do they still have that God Awful band". Now there's something that if eliminated would save a lot of money and what few Disney Ice Shows I have seen had very enjoyable canned music.

Didnt the Barnum show have a baby elephant named,"Cricket"?
I think it got sick and died,and they buried it at the foot of a hill somewhere in New Hampshire.

Might be but I'm not aware of it.

Barry, incredible as it may seem, my son Shannon tells me that he can tell not only how many people log on to my Blog Site but the towns they come from.
He said I got 109 hits from Vienna, Virginia last week so I hope your friend Mr. Wagner has a job when he gets to Orlando.
