Your not a sucker for taking a sip of the kool-aid, your a sucker when you continue to drink the kool-aid after you know it's tainted. I know about drinking the kool-aid, I'm a Lions fan.

The real trick is to not drink the Kool-Aid until one is satisfied that there either is or isn't any Kool-Aid to drink. Some say their is and some say there isn't. Once again I need to apologize for my absence from this thread. Believe it or not I'm still on the road (this Sunday it will be two months) with my spouse and dog and currently am sitting northeast of Amarillo- home of the famous 72 oz. steak challenge. Nope, not interested, that's a helluva lot of meat to consume even if you do get an hour to finish it. Lose the challenge and you fork over better than $70 bucks (paid up front). Anyway, I'm in Allenreed and will back on the road in the morning and should be sitting at home in Maine by next Friday the 20th. It's been a super trip and I've learned a bunch of historical things I never knew before and have seen some amazing and beautiful places. The fires in NORCAL have really worried me though. Very dry where I am and am aiming for Tulsa, OK where Saturday night is supposed to see around a 90% chance of T-storms. I know there a ton of work to do on this Genome Project thing and in about a week or so I hope to be able to make up for much lost time. Talk soon. You folks in the fire areas out West please take care.

Facial expression and body language were critical in my encounter. I was observing both in him and he was certainly observing the same in us to determine attitude and intent. It still mystifies me as to why he openly exposed himself to us. He, and any others he was with could certainly have retreated down the wash without us ever realizing they were there.
