me and gary mitchell

my brother gary was re-elected by the voters to serve as gaming commissioner  in the recent election. someone told him to clean out his desk prior to the election. despite that  he was voted back in as the first one to get over 50% plus one of the voters. (dyer ran unopposed.) previously he had served 10 and a half years on tribal council and has served for 8 years on gaming commission. that ranks him up there as one of the longest tenured elected officials in da tribe. he scored a fine blanket with the tribal logo on it.

so they had a swearing in ceremony today at the old bingo hall. i went over to witness the occasion and to take some pictures. plus they had free eats. i passed on them but drank coffee. i sat with the country indians. we got rowdy over in our corner. we had a good time.

most of the tribal council was there and most of the gaming commission. but what can you expect on a friday. it was good to see the interaction between everyone. at the general councils there are some that put all elected officials on the defensive. like its us against them. they just dont get it. it is us. not us and them. that is one of our problems.

i headed to town after that. my chickens needed feed. gotta indulge them since they are producing 4 eggs a day. they are the big brown eggs. my favorite.

seen one of the first signs of spring while in town. spotted a garage sale sign. that is definitely spring. gotta wait for the calendar though. and our spring dance. which we dont know when that will happen. they still working on our dance grounds. 3 weeks ago they said they would be done in 2 weeks. not quite. it will take some more time for completion it looks like.
