    This will be the day to test the hippies mettle. 15 degrees, 12" of snow on the ground with more coming, 30 MPH winds. I hope Patagonia jackets, dreadlocks and hemp pants are good insulation.

    They've got teepees so they're all good I'm sure...

    They did make it through the snow yesterday, it'll be interesting to see how long they can deal with it.

    That wind will pile snow 20 feet deep around obstacles like vehicles and teepees and shitters. I'm sure they have worked out the service hierarchy to keep those systems available... High of 4 above, low -12 for Thursday. The tribal fuhrer told everyone to go home last night, i'm sure the natives will listen (I think they pretty much go home every night) but I doubt the Oregonians will... we'll see how it works out I guess.

    In related news, a Lexus SUV with some social justice warriors piled into some other car with more social justice warriors the other day near Cannonball, injuring a few, and they set up go fund me pages to cover medical expenses. Apparently obamacare aint' that great I guess?

    I wonder if Soros will provide shelter for the paid professionals? Or just bus in new ones on a moment's notice.

    This made me laugh.
    A comprehensive divestment plan where we ask people to pull their money out of banks, financial institutions, and investment plans in which we have determined that those institutions either directly support racial injustice or police brutality in those cities or have chosen to remain completely silent in the midst of this national crisis.”

    What you really mean to state is that if you see any individuals going into any of the buildings that these financial institutions are located those individuals will be targeted and subjected to harassment and physical intimidation.

    You are protesting police brutality by implementing your own brutality on others. LOL

    LOL, in an effort to learn more about the evolution of the Native Americans and the US Government I ended up reading 17 historical books on the subject in the past 8 or 9 months. Talk about a convoluted, it's really complicated. In the end it turns out that the simple Indian was at the bottom of the pile and ended up getting the shaft at just about every turn. For many decades most of the Indians kept thinking that "the great white chief" in Washington was going to treat them fairly yet they were not aware of how the US Government worked.

    They didn't know that that great white chief simply delegated decisions about the Indian Nations to subordinates that didn't give a rat's ass about the ignorant pesky natives. Consequently, the natives were cheated, deliberately lied to and often killed just for something to crow about. They had their treaties cancelled for the advantage of new incoming settlers that wanted the prime property that the treaties had been promised without any discussion with the affected Indians.

    At the same time the Government leaders kept thinking that when the Indian representative from the Government met with some Indian chief the Government representative assumed that that chief was speaking for all Indians when in actuality the chief was speaking for only his clan/family. Government then assumed that the Indians were breaking the treaty when some other Indian band started raiding white settlements again. During most of this time certain individuals such as Charles Goodnight (the famous Texas rancher, who had become good friends with several Indian bands) tried many times to explain to the ignorant Indian agents how the Indian society worked to no avail. Almost all the agents wanted things their way and would not bend their rules. Most didn't last long in their position.

    Teddy Roosevelt was one of the first Presidents that actually became somewhat of an ally to the Indians and that was mostly due to the advances of friendship coming from Quanah Parker who was the last Comanche War chief and interestingly, the only one that the US Army could not defeat. At some points he was literally playing games with the Army's troops by out foxing them easily. Eventually he just got tired of the games and came into Fort Sill Ok. Roosevelt and Parker eventually became pretty good friends and visited each others homes.

    Sorry guys. I tend to ramble a bit on subjects that really interest me.

    Ramble on. It interests me too - although I did know most of the above. Mom was a hippie type and a teacher so one of the first Cowboy and Indian books I read was Bury my Heat at Wounded Knee...

    Which reminds me, haven't read it again in many decades. Have to see if it's on iBooks.

    Amazon has it and it was the first one that I read. I read it doing some research on Quanah Parker whom I had been told was my children's mother's Great Grandfather. (It turned out that he wasn't although she was a Parker from the Ft. Sill area.) It's interesting how so many of the Native American tribes were so intertwined with each other.

    One of the interesting stories that I came across was about how General Sherman (of Civil War fame) had told this new Capt. assigned to the Western frontier in about 1870 or so that he would never be able to defeat the Comanche or Apache mounted warriors but the Capt. swore that he could. He lost several hundred troopers attempting to do so. It had already been established that those two tribes, especially the Comanche, had the most formidable mounted soldiers in the world. One American scout (the formally mentioned Charles Goodnight) witnessed a 20 or so year old Comanche, shooting arrows from under his horse's neck, launch the eighth arrow before the first one hit the ground. That's some serious skill. The Indian warrior was one of Quanah Parker's soldiers.

    Guess who came to their rescue yesterday? Yep, the same bunch of guys who have continually violated their civil rights, such as when they saved their "warrior" who blew her own arm off and blamed the cops, and responded to their OD's and car wrecks and livestock thefts.

    They did lose a couple tents to fire, and had to evac a bunch to local schools and casino's. Then some hippies got tossed from a school for cooking in the auditorium and generally causing a disruption.

    If they stay today, I'd be surprised if they don't find a couple hippie-sicles in the snow in the spring. 7 degrees, 25 MPH wind, 2 feet of snow in the area.

    If the horizontal boring guys had the permit, they'd be out there in their fleece lined dickies going to town with a smile on their face. But, I suspect eventually this will get moved to the north side of Bismarck, so it can cost another 10 million, and disrupt 20 times the natural acreage.

    It's like you apologizing for something the race director at the 1941 Isle of Man TT did.

    The level of weakness that it takes to apologize for something you didn't do is just beyond my comprehension.
