About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

Crow Agency is one of those really small towns southeast of Billings where if you blink at just the right time it will be completely missed in passing - - - remarkable that any candidate would spend time there campaigning!!
I've been very very impressed with Obama's campaign. During the Texas primary, I clicked some link from somewhere and was taken to an organizers' page for precinct captains in Texas. And where you could sign up if your precinct had no one. Tons of tools. Whoever is doing this is light years ahead of anyone else this season. . . . And I thought Dean's campaign was good, lol!
This stop seems to have been a way to bring to the front for First Nations that he is aware of their issues and intends to notice them, ALL. . . .
