nish-amukseen two young beaver while walking my two miles. they are under the bridge i walk over on my route. it is fun to watch them. the other day i even seen two coyotes. some people freak when they see them. dont know where they get that. the way i heard is that they are messengers. you will hear something. it doesnt necessarily imply bad news.  i was walking the other evening. our neighbors were out too. they had their dogs with them. one attacked ko nu gish while he was held back on a leash. that aint cool. then ko nu gish got loose by slipping out of the collar and leash. he went after that dog and smoked him. my dog aint mean, but he defended himself. thats cool.

i wrote a coupla blogs last year about our billboards advertising our casino. i said that they should use some brown people on them. when i was coming home the other day from town i seen a new billboard. i was amazed that one of our home girls had her picture on it. i applaud whoever is responsible for that. it is about time. hope to see more.

when we had a ceremony last week we had a buncha politicians there. we usually dont see many unless it is an election year. they are some pretty bright fellows. i wonder if any of them noticed that our ceremonial building aint done. they promised us they were gonna fix it. well the way it was put to us was ”if they dont get together we will spend the money somewhere else.” we didnt ask for that, they came to us. anywho they started work on our building. we had our spring ceremonies so work stopped. it hasnt picked up since. our roof leaked. our outside dance ring needs work. the cook shack could use some work. our benches inside were taken out but not put back. our parking lot got smaller. the dirt inside was going to be replaced. so we are left wondering is anyone gonna finish the job they promised us would get done. did indians speak with forked tongue? the work they did was great. just wish they would finish the job.

we had a good rain early this morning. the garden should grow this week. my rain barrels filled up again. i will have water to give to my plants. everything is growing great now. the weather has been kind to us. and for that i am grateful.

anutha week. i will head to the fiesta mexicana this week. gotta sample some of the great food they have. and i got lots of other things to keep me busy.
