    That’s awesome. My sister worked at Blockbuster; she was a manager. She had to bring home 10 to 15 movies a day to watch so she could recommend different films. She also got to bring home video games (back then it was Nintendo). Very cool, man. Thanks for sharing this.

    I've a seasonal employee. for a carnival company called RCS
    ( Ray camack show ) they are biased in Arizona but do several fairs in CA. They provide the Farris wheel for Coachella and stage coach in Indio CA. As well as the entire carnival midways for the Los Angeles county fair Orange county fair and San Diego county fair as well as the Arizona State Fair and Huston Texas live stock show it's not uncommon for carnivals to split off between shows depending on the size of the fair point the company work for technology goes to Texas first that's a big carnival then they prepare to come to Pomona CA for the Los Angeles county fair witch has gotten a little smaller so some of the rides actually go sit in San Diego. While the LA fair. is happening. And some even go sit in costa Mesa CA in storage at the orange county CA Fair grounds. Carnivals are big work to put together fairs that are set up for around a month take weeks to put big rides together. It's interesting to watch
