I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them ... John Bernard Books
Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
I had the innards just lying around gathering dust ... Nothing much, diamonds, silver, other metals ... Just "things" ...

That's so awesome! I checked my mail today but nothing I hope it hasn't gotten lost.[/quote]
Haven't got mine yet either, and it seems like the one I sent hasn't been gotten yet. Maybe the mail is just going slow...

I've become a busy bee, but yes - I'd like to execute another swap sometime in the future. I'm thinking maybe the spring, but we'll see.
