Glad you're happy with the digs. If you turn on a bright light at, say 3 am, you might be able to get that rooster to annoy everybody enough to make the Sunday dinner menu.

My Zuni neighbor has a brother named Buster! Do ya suppose?

My politician friend DID put in a good word for me. I have been trying to get back to this area for a year. When I first came down last summer there were no openings, then magically one appeared this spring, here I am!

Tonchi, I've read Hillerman, too, and he does emphasize the animosity between the Navajo and the Pueblo tribes - especially the Hopi. The Navajo and Hopi have been working hard to heal the rift between the two groups and, although all is far from brotherly love, relations between the two tribes are better than what I've seen so far in my 30 year love affair with the 4 Corners area.

I am hoping that my new Zuni friend can get me into Shalako this coming December. That would be too cool for words! We'll see.
