On a different topic, yesterday we saw "Step Right Up!, the excellent exhibit curated by Tim Tegge at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. This traveling exhibition covers the American circus from 1890 to 1965 and is a must see for everyone, circus enthusiast or not. It combines photos, a short film about wagons and trains, numerous small displays, posters and plenty of history. Looking at the photos of old friends and coworkers who are not longer with us was an emotional experience. It was great to see living legends Mary Ruth, Buckles and Peluza represented. There is even a participation section for youngsters to dress up and try some circus skills and a chance to record one's circus memories. The exhibit runs through March 16 and is operated by Exhibits USA. This is a MUST for anyone who loves the circus. Bob

Never saw that title for horses
used before John does that mean
"full blooded" as in pure bred
Your dad was a looker
In checking with a good friend
with plenty of horse sense I'm
told that the terms Hot & Cold
when used in regards to horses
blood are meant to seperate the
finer breeds (hot) from draft
breeds (cold) and have nothing
to do with actual temperature
All horses are "warm blooded"
mammals as are we
I'm guessing the term "Blooded"
as used in Milt's title could
refer to either grouping or
maybe to both groups as many of
the other horse folks I spoke
to had never heard that term
used in that way before
