The speakeasy last night was nice. There was jazz music, dancing ladies, and gun twirling. Here’s a pic of a jazz group.

We had an an excellent day today. We started out with a visit to the Museum of Miniatures. I went along because Danita wanted to go. Danita figured we would spend an hour there. We ended up staying well over 2 hours and could have stayed longer. These miniatures are far beyond anything I had seen before. Being a guy, I especially enjoyed this miniature of the Merrimack. During the civil war, the Union burned and skuttled 4 ships so the Confederates couldn’t use them. The Confederates raised and rebuilt this one, adding iron cladding. The ship is the Merrimack — the ship that fought the Monitor for the first metal-clad ship battle.

My other fav was Savalat Fidai. He carves figures out of the lead in a # 2 pencil. Here’s one of a bird in a cage, and also one of a horse. Check out this video to watch him create Bird in a Cage.

We closed out the day in a tent circus. It was a lot of carny and a ton of fun. We were having so much fun participating, I didn’t try to grab any pics. If you want, you can find some pics here. Zoppe Circus

I hope this finds everyone doing well.
