This past weekend…

Weekend reconnaissance trip. I found things as I had hoped although, Saturday was rainy. I visited a friend who is currently having some health problems instead of going out taking pictures. We stayed up late talking and playing guitar (him). Sunday time changed back to standard and I was tired. I checked out of the motel early enough to have a days worth of shots if needed. I managed to take a few decent shots but, not nearly as many as I had hoped because of the position of the sun. I’ll go back in two weeks for the canoe trip. I’m ready for it. [click image for more]

Cop Incident

Two nights ago I heard talking out front. I didn’t pay much attention until it kept going for a while. It was two cops talking after they had walked around back to check my car’s liscense plate. At least that’s what the guy in back told me. He’s kinda strange but he could be right. The people that moved out a few days ago were starting to make me very cautious since I saw the woman, not young either, buying drugs (crack from what I saw of it right out my front window). I know what crack looks like. I’ve known too many crackheads!

Anyway, I grabbed the camera to take some pictures without the aid of a flash. I was successful to some extent… click the image below and see more.

5300 yr. old man

Last night I was laying up in bed with the TV on falling asleep even though I wanted to pay attention to the programming on Peruvian archeology in the high mountains. They were searching for sacrificed childern hidden in and under the ice from the beginning of the colonial period. Next they went to more things hidden in ice at the top of mountains but, I was too asleep to remember it. Finally they got to the Iceman! I sat up. I loved that find when I first heard about it yrs ago. He’s now housed in Bolzano, Italy. I want to buy one of the museum’s books (about 12euros with the current exchange rate?). This kind of science makes my heart race! The site is in English, Italian, and German.

HooDoo Curse

Drawing based on a ‘hoodoo’ curse inflicted on a family member. Story has it one of my grandfather’s sisters was messing around with a man whose lady was from the Bahamas. When this woman found out what was going on she put a curse on my Aunt Mag. The result was ‘snakes’ crawling under the skin of her legs. I met some people that had seen it and said it was true even though her sister, Aunt Berta, denied it. Aunt Mag had trouble walking until her death. She kept her legs wrapped up with some kind of dressing and heavy stockings because she had bad sores on them both. Curse or not, her legs were ‘messed up’.
