I had just discovered a part of an art piece that I had dragged home long ago and forgotten. This 4 1/2 foot Raven's eye is from a vintage trailer light and the eyepiece off an old microscope. The lower half of her jaw is a slice from an old wood water ski. It is hinged and when you pull it, it snaps shut saying GAK GAK GAK just like a raven. $750.00</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">The
time has come to share a vision that came to me 29 June 1988 while Southbound across the Chukchi Sea in a New-ish Crowley pusher
tug. We were taking the two boats back to Seattle from West Dock at
Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. A substantial voyage. We saw aurora borealis every night, including while coming in to Elliot Bay, Seattle. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">There
is much to relate about how this story came to be written by my hand,
on a tugboat in a big swell in Arctic waters. That can wait.</span>

COYOTE BROUGHT RAIN TO THE INLAND NORTHWEST.</span></div>

<div align="CENTER" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The First Nation people of Okanagen and Colville groups needed rain desperately.
The people were grumbling and fighting amongst themselves because the
gardens were drying up and game was moving farther and further away.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Sitting
on his rock, Coyote heard them and saw their unhappiness. He howled
and howled. “YI! YI! HOW HOW HOW CAN I HELP MY PEOPLE?” His
cousin Wolf , over the hills in Loup Loup, heard him and called
back. “OUR LUMMI COUSIN BY THE BAY (Lahq'Temish or People of The Sea)</span><i>
</i><span style="font-size: medium;">HEARS US AND INVITES US TO
COME OVER TO HIS HOME.” He has an idea he thinks may help.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">And
so they went. It was a long trip, but Coyote and Wolf had much to
discuss, and there was plenty to eat in the High Mountains and their
Western slopes. Coyote was thrilled by the yummy creatures to eat and places he could hide his scat for jokes.</span></div>
<div align="RIGHT" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">He
thought “Surely my cousin by the Bay is rich!”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">When,
at last, the pair got to the Bay near the homes of the Lummi people,
another cousin trotted out of the mossy, muddy forest to greet them:
“Klahoya cousins!” he barked! "I will show you the wonders of
my home”. The cousin insisted on showing them the oyster beds - clam beds - the fish drying racks -
first. Never had they seen so much yummy stuff in one place! Oh they
filled their bellies all right!</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Wolfe
explained that they were seeking advice and help. Soon enough their
cousin by the Bay (Bellingham Bay) said “It is time to visit my
friend, the leader of this band of Lummis”. So the four (snoopy Raven was with them as always) went to
his fine big cedar home.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Coyote
had brought gifts. The Lummi leader said “I will only accept
your gifts if you let me show you how to bring the rain from the sky
across the big mountains.” Of course Coyote agreed.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
four went out to the
leader's fine cedar shop building. He had an old fifties Dodge Power Wagon truck and a
welder there. He commenced to showing them how to design and build a
special hitch for this truck. With this particular truck and the
special hitch, Raven and the leader explained how they could tow a
few of their many rain clouds over the high mountains to the East. They had to get to work right away as it was early Summer.
They knew the snows could come early to the high mountains.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That
is part of the story of how coyote brought rain to the Collville and Okanagen
people, and why so many of the people drive 4 wheel drive pickups.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="background: transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;">

here the story ends.</span><br />

Some more organizable than others. I did well for an old fellow. My rig here with it's powow drum and spinning RESIST sign was constantly on the edge of disaster, but I managed to complete the 11 or so blocks without crashing.<br />
Peaceout.<br />

I was enjoying to fiddle with restoring/fixing up/fiddling with my old 1969 Alaskan camper. Whilst sitting in a folding chair on the sidewalk, eating lunch, I spied 2 "clumping" black bamboo escapees! Well, to ME, bad back or not, one has to deal with this when spotted as procrastination surely makes it worse!<br />

This is what was called in the old days a "cab and chassis motor home". Not sure of the title yet, but thinking something like Coyote And Kokopelli Snowbirds.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: lime;">As the reindeer at the North Pole gathered at the Associated Brotherhood of Arctic Flying Animals union hall, Father Christmas prepared for a rough season of deliveries without his traditional helpers. There were only 3 elves to help build a temporary vehicle for delivering Christmas presents and they had their work cut out for them. They had only pieces of a toy motorcycle, a coffee percolator, lamp shades, this and that to work with. This is the actual unit made for Christmas eve's deliveries, but not used as the reindeer union and Christmas management found a solution to their problems.</span> </span></b></span></div>

Fendernose has been evolving here in my living room / studio. I am still not sure if it will have legs or wings or both. It has a stand so it can sit on the table if it will behave itself.<br />
<br />
The nose is an old Schwinn 10 speed front fender bit, and the teeth is a big-o alligator clip. Coffee pot, lamp shade. More to come soon! <br />
