Saturday

Got out a bit today, went to the Heard Museum, dedicated to Indian art. It was very nice and the fact admission was free today didn't hurt either. I took a few pictures, but they didn't allow flash so I got to practice my skills with my monopod and a slow shuter speed. I need more practice.

Got to eat at Dead Slobster the only fish restaurant in these parts. Red Lobster is the reason most people hate seafood. I videotaped the aquarium next to the table so you all could have some mindless aquarium fun. Their fish are about the laziest things I have ever come across, so don't expect much action.

Slow moving fish

I've always liked Native American art. We adapted an Indian pipe ceremony as a Wiccan service on Friday. It was pretty cool.

I noticed that you never see thugs in museums. Very cool.

foam: When you set up an aquarium, you have several pretty fish and add one mean hungry one to keep them moving. Glad you liked the clouds! It is really cloudy today so I am hoping we see some more rain.

Indigo: I carved a pipe bowl out of catlinite, the red stone the Native Americans used. I don't condone smoking though. I always thought that the Indians gave us tobacco and casinos to exact revenge.

The best thing about living in the southwest was the indian art, artifacts and galleries.

Red robster has sickened more people than the plague.
