The carnival is coming to town!

Across the street from my office, a carnival is setting up in the big, empty Northgate south parking lot. The odd thing is that the lot is already being used as a road-construction staging area! So we have all these dump trucks and machinery racing around right beside the carousel and mini-rollercoaster without so much as a chainlink fence between them. There's a little three-foot fence, but I don't know who that's supposed to protect.



Notice the half-built ferris wheel at the right. They've completed it now, with seats and everything. Just when we thought we'd have to hang onto the bars. . .
