Looks like Judge Riker, myself and Rick Pfening in deep thought.

The late, great Judge Riker and Evelyn Riker had a party at their home during the week end of the show. They had the world famous Kuegel's hotdogs. It was always cold as hell up there, below zero cold. Perhaps minds better than mine can tell us why such a cold place always had its Shrine Circus during the year's coldest time.
By the way, I believe Buckles, Dale and I were comtemplating the vastness of the arena.; 28 August, 2009 15:48
