Okay, I’m not on the road yet, but I did get the camera moved to the
staging area and gathered up more stuff to take down the valley to
Greyfox, including more of the jewelry I’ve made. Yesterday, his
entire sales all day were two items: a pack of rolling papers for
a buck or two and one of my lapis lazuli bear necklaces for
$150.00. His clientele are more into knives, videos, herbal
waker-uppers and such than to jewelry and he devotes little space to
it. When something sells, we’re both happy.Anyhow, what I came back for in my second blog of the day was something that came in my email. It was an announcement in Got Caliche?,
the journal of Southwestern Archaeology, of an upcoming seminar I’d try
to attend if it were not being held in July. I’d love to be there
not just for the subject matter, “Was Chicken Little Right??? The
Archaeology and Anthropology of Holocene Period Cosmic Impacts,” but
because the location, Los Alamos, New Mexico, is beautiful–in
winter. No part of that part of the world is habitable in summer.

ROFL. Having lived in Las Vegas for six years — you’re utterly right. That part of the world is hard to live in right now although I miss the dryness. I liken the heat there to walking directly into an oven. Just take a lot of water with you once you’re outside. Or hide under the shade of SOMETHING. But winter is… wondrous. Just perfect.
Will you take some pictures of your jewelry for us?
alRIGHT on the jewelry sale!
and…no way in hell to new mexico in july. pffft. might as well go lie down on some asphalt here in town come august if i want to experience that.
