it is almost the last day in july, and we have a HUGE hailstorm today. hailstones of almost an inch diameter are BOUNCING two feet up off the car hood and off the astroturf in the back yard... and last night we had to wear sweaters against the chill.
some wanker stole my camera yesterday, so i can't post photos of this amazing event. the front yard is solid white from the accumulated iceballs.

this is on the campus of arizona state university in tempe. this image is quite common in mexico: an aztec warrior cradles a dead maiden, who is honored by the snake and eagle.

a wee bit o' dance
these fellows are hopi, but they dance and sing in a north-plains style. this is normal in the post-modern world of native culture.
ancient isis
hansa is pointing to the isis temple, a formation in the grand canyon. there is also a buddha temple, a temple of osiris, a shiva temple, etc. this is a HOLY place! a fitting response to the profoundly ancient carvings: the rocks are up to a billion and a half years old, while the carving is "only" a few million years old; and it is (of course) still a work in progress.
