Mancos, Colorado, part II

[Tonchi]

Wow, that's interesting that he is involved with the Navajo ceremonies. From everything I have heard (mostly from Tony Hillerman), the Navajos and Zunis thoroughly dislike each other and the Zunis, especially, try to keep their activities secret. If he has free access to both cultures, he would be a very interesting person to know. Have fun!

One was on the wait list for two years and another waited for a year to get in as did I.

I Thought that politician shortened that up for you?

The Zuni sounds like he could provide many, many moons of enthralling entertainment and a unique insight. Wonder if he knew Buster?

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.

Hey....I thought you got a band

Geez. I miss a few episodes and everything changes.

Hope you like your new cool place.

Errr... I'd watch it with those red letters if I were you. Actually, I think I may be getting a band - its called the Zuni. It looks as though I'll be introduced to it, anyhow. I love living in the Wild West again with cowboys and Indians and getting to play at being Ms. Kitty!
