A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Believe both pictures taken on Mills Bros. Circus...You can see the M on one of the trucks....John Herriott no doubt could IBD a number of the Mills Bros. pictures....Wade thanks for posting todays pictures...A number of us remember the Mills Bros. days.
Dave,
True story. When I posted these pictures I tried to write "For John Milton, Who I haven't heard from and I am worried about, and Dave Orr who is whining about the cold weather keeping him from a baseball game, so he is bored with nothing to do." There wasn't enough room, so I just posted "For John Milton." I went back and changed it to "For John Milton and Anyone Else" because I assumed you would just sit there on your hands pouting because they were for John Milton and not you. John Milton must have slept in today, but at least I heard from him. I think about the old war horse often.
I have about a dozen more, and will post them periodically.
Go Twins,
Wade
Yes, I have been bored due to the cold weather and no baseball. I saw the Twins in spring training even met your Mgr.
Dave,
I don't know who the hell it was you met, but it wasn't a Twins manager. The Twins haven't had a manager since their 1965 American League Pennant victory when Sam Mele was ramrodding them.
Six twin's made the All Star Team that year, first baseman Harmon "the Hammer" Killebrew, shortstop Zoilo Versalles, outfielders Tony Oliva and Jimmie Hall, catcher Earl Battey, and pitcher Mudcat Grant.
Versalles was named AL Most Valuable Player. He also led the team with 126 runs scored, and won a Gold Glove Award for his play at shortstop. Oliva led the AL with a .321 batting average. Killebrew was limited to 113 games by injuries, but still hit 25 HR and 75 RBI.
Jim Kaat was the winning pitcher, and won the Gold Glove for pitchers that year. Mudcat Grant led the league with 21 wins, becoming the first black pitcher in the history of the American League to win 20 games in a season.
So unless that gentleman you met was named Sam Mele, you did not met a Twins manager. To quote John Milton, "case closed."
Wade
