Not Amused

Still waiting to catch that break. Mom hasn't gone to Gram's yet to see if the flood waters penetrated the nearly 200 year old hand dug basement...you know the one, the one that hold EVERYTHING I own. I may no longer own anything except a carload of stuff between who knows what damage was done in FL and what damage was done by the PA flooding. And I just realized that ALL my original stories are on the computer in FL, you know the one, the one that the hard drive didn't get copied when I thought it had been AND all the back up discs are also there.

AND I found out why there's a flood in my bedroom. There's damn raccoons in my attic. They pulled up the shingles, broke through the roof and are now in the attic. I'm all for calling animal control and getting them OUT of there rather than trying to scare them out myself with lights and music as suggested (I'm sorry, lights in an attic full of insulation scares me. I think FIRE)

Let's see, I've met Russell Means a couple of times and got a book signed to me as a thank you for my work there. And Sitting Bull's grandson was one of my patients though sadly he was too ill to talk much.

So was Russell Means intimidating, or is he one of those guys that just *seems* like he'd be that way, and turns out to be a sweetheart in person?

How *old* was Sitting Bull's grandson??

He was a little full of himself to be honest but not as full of himself as Sherman Alexie who is amusing but really an egoist, at least that's his public face.

Sitting Bull's grandson back in the 90's was in his 90's.

An old Lakota Paha ska (white mountain, if I remember my Lakota) did hte skins for me. He dressed in regalia and parked himself in Keystone for the tourist trade daily.
