People ask us ‘When did the Indians all die?’ They don’t realize they’re still around. The importance of Keeping the Tradition is that it lets people know Native Americans are still here, that they have a lively culture and that they have many traditions still going strong.

I’d like to thank legacy.com for reminding me that my friend Bobby died last year and giving me the opportunity to pay them money to allow the guest book to stay open longer. (Which would probably generate another email next year.) Assholes.

His friends, his family and his wife posted in there. Thanks for the reminder in my, and their, inbox first thing this morning.

You do know someone made an iPhone app so you know what’s playing on KEXP right?

First MJ now this? it’s the end of an era :(

I’m mostly excited that this means he’ll get decent insurance soon.

Here’s a fact: Some people want to live more
Than others do. Some can withstand any horror

While others will easily surrender
To thirst, hunger, and extremes of weather.

In Utah, one man carried another
Man on his back like a conjoined brother

And crossed twenty-five miles of desert
To safety. Can you imagine the hurt?

Do you think you could be that good and strong?
Yes, yes, you think, but you’re probably wrong.
