It's National Chocolate Boost Day and American Circus Day. I miss the circus. Did anybody else grow up going to the circus when they were a kid? Like they mostly died out? I think, uh, around the nation. The change in animal laws, and that's probably a good thing as far as the change of animal laws. But I want to hear in the comments today, did you grow up going to the circus?

I remember going to the barn and Bailey Circus over in the OME when I was a kid. It was amazing. And we just don't have big circuses like that traveling around very often anymore. So. Sound off in the comment section. Did [00:03:00] you grow up going to the circus? And while we're pouting about that, 'cause I certainly miss the circus.

Grab yourself some chocolate mousse and uh, soothe the soul that way today around town. We got family movie day over at the library. Join us at 1:00 PM for a family friendly movie.
