Oh, My!

Someone uploaded some photos on Flickr from the 1977 Texas State Fair -- most of them from the "Freak Show." Oh, how far we've come. Can you even imagine the firestorm that would occur if something like that happened today. (And it's barely been just 30 years.)

But one of my greatest childhood memories is going into that very same "Freak Show" with my mom (I still can't believe we did that) and a "lizard woman" came out. I think that was only the "sneak peek", you had to pay more to go back and the see the really weird stuff. No way we were going to do that! Or, more precisely, there was no way my dad was going to allow that.
