Cowboys vs Indians

The perpetual debate! This is far more serious than the political struggle that is republicans vs democrats. Scarier than alien vs predator. If you ever read Indian in the Cupboard or wanted to be a Pony Express rider when you grew up, this dilemma most likely plagued your wee little kiddie mind like it did mine.

A little background to how it played out in my mind back in the 90s. Grant me the excuse of preschool naivete for the offensiveness of some of the list.

• Cowboys: trouble makers, go camping a lot, wear big hats and plaid shirts (the original hipsters?), carry cap guns, shoot first ask questions later, ride white horses through idyllic fields of grass and never get shot, say y'all a lot
• Indians: POCAHONTAS! eat berries, walk in the woods without leaving a trace, carve cool stuff in wood, teepees and longhouses, headdresses and beaded thangs, the utltimate foragers/tree climbers

Anyways, while i did want to gallop a little pony with panniers of mail through Pauite territory, I think I'll always be that little kid playing in the woods with a feather in my hair. Or maybe a not so little kid, building a self-destructive/ingenious board game with my friends.

 Went up to the cabin for some woods wandering in good company. Found some mushrooms. Played with pooh-sticks - a few first timers in the bunch. Drank a lot of wine. Created a board game, features include a point system, art (flowers, "sea of wine"), mazes, table descisions, etc. etc. Found a feather!

Life in the technodrome is great. Especially because NOW WE HAVE INTERNETS!! Yep! Now knowledge bombs and 150% mark-ups can be verified via the veritable wikipedia! Family, family dinner with the boys. Paella props go to Ollie and Dutch. BJ's lurking just outside the frame.
