MF: Three wives?
RS: Yep, wives are easy to come by when you’re working in a carnival. You’re on the road with over a hundred people. And they’re just as easy to get rid of. They reverse the rides, that all.
RS: It’s an old carnival tradition. When there’s a divorce on the road, they’ll put a ride in reverse. That’s how everyone knows.
MF: Do you keep in touch with carnival people?
RS: Yep, lots of them live around here. I visit, they visit. I communicate with them on my CB... And in the summers, some of us go and live in the woods.
MF: In the woods?
RS: Yep, put all my stuff into storage, pack up a tarp, my bow, my fishing rod and go up into the North Shore mountains. Lots of people living up there, you know. Living under the stars, growing dope….
MF: Why aren’t you up there this summer?
