Round We Go


There are few things as immediately fanciful in this world as amusement rides.

The thrill of being swept up and around, tumbling precariously through the air, trusting a carnie with our safety to enjoy our motion sense to the max.

Sometimes I think the swing ride is the most fancy: so simple, so child-like.

Humans are silly.
