Clowns
News June 27th, 2006Went to the rodeo on Friday night and met a clown who came barrelling across the street just to get his picture taken with me. At first I thought, “Hey, maybe this is one of Stinky Hobo’s friends.” I mean, look at the picture . . . the guy even has his own blue Jikkom.
But it wasn’t a hobo. It was a clown. And evidently a famous clown.
His name is Lecile Harris, and among other things, he’s been a professional rodeo clown and on the show Hee Haw.
In other news, I’m back to writing this week. I finished Part One, and began Part Two. There will be three parts in the book, and I’m starting the longest of the three.
The last few weeks have been killer, to the point that I don’t think I’m going to make my July 31st deadline on finishing the book. But I’m not going to let that get me down (too much, anyway). I’m going to keep cranking away at the book and finish it soon, if not by July 31st.

I guess you better be wearing something old and disposable on August 1st, then.
Do you go to a lot of rodeos? I’ve been to a few, and I really enjoyed them. Well, the time a bronco rider got thrown and stepped on by his horse wasn’t so great. Incredibly, he was able to stand up and (with some help) walk out of the arena. That’s a tough guy.

This was the first rodeo I’ve been to in a long time. But I really enjoyed it. The city of Lehi tries really hard to keep the rodeo as quick and enjoyable as possible. And they did a great job this year.
