cottonmouth hunting...i took this image many years ago with a point and shoot in the Atchafalaya Basin (see "Cactus" clyde Lockwoods film about the basin made many years ago..)
so i hear that columbia and equador are seeking to legalize the coca leaf for the same purpose that it has been used for centuries or longer...a great adventure book by a fellow named wade davis called "one river" about a fellow named richard evans schultes work as a botanist in south america...schultes discovered several new species of coca plants and he writes about how the indigenous people carry a little pouch of the leaves around with them all the time...the coca leaf culture is far removed from the cocaine culture...like the difference between coffee drinkers and crystal meth addicts...i suppose i will be accused of taking bribes from some cocaine cartel by lizard harris...a reality based political party? i watched a movie which i have heard about for a long time called "natural born killers" which is one of the most violent movies i have seen...it sort of reminded me of "sin city" except the later film was much more artistic...multi colored blood and such as that...both of these films might give you nightmares...i also watched "Paint Your Wagon" and "Fiddler on the Roof" both of which were musicals...in paint your wagon clint eastwood and lee marvin both sing or try to sing and the songs are not very memorable the woman lead sings very well...but the movie is OK (1965) in "fiddler on the roof" the songs are better and you can see why it got 3 oscars...it is probably the best musical i have seen...well the air show was last weekend and you did not have to go to it to get a view of the jets doing fancy flying...it was louder than hell!...your tax dollars at work...i am a fan of drones myself...you can deny everything with drone warfare...now i dont mean to be controversial ...maybe a little...but i heard that in san fransisco there is a proposal to award african americans 5 million dollar "reparations" payment (per person) and a house for a dollar (per family)...whoa buddy! i dont think even willie brown would have voted for that...i heard a woman (of color) say that according to her calculations the reparations due to people of color for them not getting farm land loans amounts to 14 trillion bucks (give or take)...now i believe that african americans make up 14% of the U.S, population...but they get 85% of the news...i think it is gerrymanderd news...not "proportional" as Obama used to like to bring up...by the way can't he run for president again!...i hope the democrats realize that more than 70 million people went to the polls and voted for D. Trump...and they had better try to figure out what it was that attracted that many votes or the next president might not be to their liking...
