One of the main contributors to the smog, besides motorized transport, is the practice of burning landscaping debris and litter. Some days it can irritate your throat. These are just grass clippings, but I've smelled burning plastic as well - that can't be good.
The entrance to our tent. Mia is talking to some of our crew, from left Atot, Bimo, and the two follow spot operators Adif and Rinto. Bimo is terrific. A very mellow personality, he has a vintage Rolling Stones shirt for every day of the week. I would not believe anyone could rock a flannel in 90 degree heat, but he pulls it off. Bimo's brother studied in the state of Washington. Coincidence? I think not.
Circus swag has started popping up.
They have set up giant air conditioners on platforms around the venue to keep the tent cool. But with all of this equipment - lights, sound, air conditioning, etc. Electric is not yet reliable. Today, the air conditioning is out, and Weego's face can give you an idea of the temperature in the tent.
And what better way to cool off than with an iced coffee. I've already mentioned that the coffee here is to die for. Just head and shoulders above what I'm used to at home - and we buy good coffee! I grabbed an iced coffee from a store nearby and was tickled by this handle that they slipped onto my cup. Not necessary, but nifty.
