Carnival season

Carnivals are great. The difference between a Carnival and an amusement park is the special people that work at each place. The price of the rides are about the same, even though the carnival rides are very cheesy! Sometimes the food at the carnival is better than the amusement park food depending on where you are. But like I stated earlier, it is the people that make a difference. I am thinking that carnival workers(or carnies as some may say) they do not have a good dental plan if one at all? They also might not have hot water in their RV's that they travel around in from town to town. But if you catch them in just the right mood as you're getting on one of the rides that they are in charge of that night, they might smile at you, blow some cigarette smoke in your direction and pat your kid on the butt as they help them on the best 20 second ride in town. Some day when I retire, I may just look into being a carnie for one summer. Just for the experience. I think I could blend in pretty good and make some new friends. Probably even get enough material from the experience that I could write a book about it? Somebody remind me of this plan in 15-20 years in case I forget.
