amuk..

amukhope the language police dont correct me on spelling. i go for  2 miles each time i walk. its amazing the different kinds of wildlife i see while out walking. i noticed the water was backing up under the bridge near my house. i thought it was a beaver dam. so i was looking out for signs everytime i passed after that. the other day i noticed a beaver in the water. i had to stop walking to watch the critter. from the top of the bridge i could see it swim underwater.  it came up on the other side. there was a smaller one on the other side.

yesterday i went for a walk again but decided to take my camera. good thing i did too. i was able to take several pictures of the larger beaver feeding on small brush on the bank of the crick. even got a picture of it swimming underwater. the smaller one was in the water on the other side of the bridge. i got a coupla pictures of it too. i continued on with my walk.

i took my dog for a rabies shot yesterday and he got a flea and tick dip. the animal control unit sponsored the event. i thought it was alright. there were a number of people there with their dogs. i usually miss the event. i never hear about it til its over. i lucked out this year.  there was a lady there from the humane society. she offered to spay my dog. i gave her my number and said i would think about it. i didnt tell the dog about that tho. it would mellow him out some, he acted vicious to all the other dogs. good thing i had him on a leash. he aint a mean dog, just dont know how to act. i know people like that. all bark and no bite. let them believe they are mean, its good for their ego.

i had to send some background info to the place i am heading to in september. i am gonna be the honored indian. they have over 15,000 people go thru there on a weekend. i get to take some of my roaches and drums there. might even have a chance to sell some. the economy has people backing off on buying at the moment. i make good art and it is priced reasonable but some think indians have to sell cheap. my art aint cheap nor will i sell it cheap. indians been ripped off enough.

i kind of had to laugh in filling out my background. i didnt claim any of my grandfathers are chiefs. you see that all the time when people fill out ancestry. there werent any common indians in the old days. they were all chiefs. kinda like today. nowadays you see people claim a chief as their great grandfather even when it isnt so. some just dont know their history. or prefer to write their own. i think it is better to live on your own merit rather that glom on to the fame of an ancestor. or as we are told ‘you gotta make your own road’.

i am almost caught up in my garden now.i have put so many hours in it. it is growing good. just gotta accept what nature brings now. now i gotta get back to my roach business. and may sneak in a few road trips.
