Wade,
I don't know if you heard the latets news about Alex Lacey's new mixed group of cats, He recently added a new member to this new group, a spotted leopardcub named Mogli.

Bjorn,
Was it you I bet 20.00 to that Flavio had Gold before the festival even started? If so, I will bet you another 20.00 we will see a shoulder carry ala GGW with the leopard for Ringling. To achieve greatness you must surpass the master, not mimic.

Wade,
yes it was me, I ow you 20.00 lol. Well if you don't mind i'll pass on the other bet, and just wait, watch and learn, and probarly ending up saying that you are right once again. Do you think that Alex can surpass GGW?. I don't think he can, he will come verry close to GGW but I don't think he will surpass him.

Bjorn,
Surpass!!!! Not even close. Nobody could, unless they did two large cage acts, 22 elephants and a large liberty act with the style and charisma that he did.
In today's circus animal environment Alex has one of the best act's with behaviors and presentation, equaled only by his brother Martin. Back in the day their act's would have been above average. That's the difference today, Bjorn. I am still waiting for John Milton to tell me about the "innovations" that have occurred that he mentioned.
