The wall is 5 x 8 feet. Here is my final-ish set of images. Although I'm going to lighten up Amelia a little.

But my real stress is that today and tomorrow I'm giving a lecture to Mrs. McDainal's 6th grade Art Class. They are doing section on photography and for some reason believe I would be a good person to tweak their imagination.
I visited the classroom last night and they have things that I would have thought were from the future if I had them when I was in 6th grade. . . . . I suppose it would have been from the future. Remember when you would see Super 8 films on a white pull down white screen?
Well that screen is now a pull down laptop. Instead of a mouse I just poke at the screen. WHAT NEXT! Speedometers on your windshield??
Mrs. McDanial's said they want to know all about me. I'm wondering how much I should cover high school . . . . hmmmmmm Maybe I'll just gloss over that part.

Bridgejumper was 6-1 last week (22-13 this year) and up I'm 10.92 units in the NBA.
Today I have to put a bottle of West Coast Blaster in the fridge to see how it's carbing.

Did you know there are 63, 8-time AWIs in Wisconsin. One guy has 15 OWIs Wait - what is it DUI? DWI? OUI? OMVI? DUBAL (Driving with an Unlawful Blood Alcohol Level) DWUI (only Wyoming uses that one).

OH - The Republicans came up with a new excuse on why they lost. THE VOTERS!!! Yesterday Paul Ryan called them the "Urban" voters. Who gave those guys the right to vote anyway!

Look at this photo - DISGUSTING
Yea - Victoria Secret is really taking heat for this fopa. I, as a quarter blooded American Indian . . . . . well, I liked it, BUT perhaps I'm not a true test. They have apologized for their ignorance.
Actually head dresses are a pretty big deal in the American Indian community.
For American Indians every feather in a head dress has to be earned.
The first feather an Indian receives must be earned for being seen as an adult member of the tribe. The warrior has to prepare himself to receive such an honor and that often require days of fasting and meditation.
Other feathers are like merit badges of honor, they are not just some sort of decoration and are taken very very seriously. The odd thing is that in Indian culture the female Indian is held in very very high regard but not allowed to where a headdress. They are more in-tune with mother earth the ANY male can ever be. This is why Custer was able to escape his first battle. He captured a bunch of female Indians and used them as human shields (the Warriors did not appreciate it).
So while female Indians are ranked highest on the totem pole the males show their pride with rewarding feathers. After 10 feathers (rare) you were allowed to go out and get an eagle feather.
If you had 12 feathers you were allowed to have a better horse.
A Chiefs war bonnet was actually feathers from good deeds and worn in very high honor.
Interesting stories about Roman Nose.
ANYWAY - I gotta run and prepare.
Have a great Thursday
